An Attempt At "Heal The World"
Although I have conceptualized it, it is different when you try to execute it.Been thinking of images to take for the monthly photo theme "Heal The World". What I have in mind is recycling. The one I found on the internet are tetra packs that were used as materials for bags and wallets. It is being sold in Europe and it was being made here in the Philippines!!! Further surfing, learned the industry is found at Marikina City.
My friend who lives at Marikina tried to trace it. She advised me (from feedback from her brother), it was being made at the gymnasium of Jem Subdivision at Parang, Marikina.
So, met a friend at Cubao Station of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) at 9AM. We took an FX to Parang. Then, a tricycle to bring us to Jem Subdivision.
Even with well-laid plans, it is bound to break. The wallet and bag making using tetra packs is no longer existing. Instead, they are using old newspapers to make baskets, jewelry, etc. Unfortunately, no one is there doing the product. Thus, we have to make do with taking photos of their end-product.
On the side, we tried to take photos of Honda cars for Club EOS' contest.
When we had our fill, took a jeepney back to Cubao, ate lunch at Teriyaki Boy in Gateway, took the MRT and stepped off at Magallanes Station. Went to Waltermart to visit our exhibit at the Camera Club of the Philippines Center (CCPC). Again, we have to fix the skewed images.
Before proceeding home, bought a gallon of ice cream. Hehehe!
