Photography collection as per told by the music of Vance Joy.

From the album, Nation of Two, Saturday Sun.

Oh Saturday Sun, I met someone
Out on the West Coast, I gotta get back, I can't let this go

And still the memory's right there

She put the breeze in my hair, No kiss was softer, softer than this

A monochromic image is one composed of one color. The term monochrome comes from the Ancient Greek: μονόχρωμος, translit. monochromos, lit. 'having one color'.

Oh, Saturday Sun, I met someone
Don't care what it costs, No ray of sunlight's ever lost

The long drive, the coastline

Lookin' out at first light, Am I still on her mind?

Lens Project: Museum of Anthropology Manila

Last summer, (May here in the Philippines) my grandmother went in our home in Manila. As my gift, i gave her a plane ticket going back home to our province. This is my grandmother's first plane ride so i'm excited and so as everyone for her.

It was 9 years since i went home and everything is exciting and chilling for me. Knowing that i know, lots have changed in there, i will be learning a lot of stories from relatives and people there.

During the travel, i realized that Ed Sheeran's song perfectly sums about how it feels to go back to a familiar place where you spent your childhood days with loved and close ones. So now i give you my homecoming photography collection that tells the story of going to a place you still call home and how it has touched you.

And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

I was younger then, take me back to when I

Found my heart and broke it here

Made friends and lost them through the years

And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown

But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way

Driving at 90 down those country lanes

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill.

But these people raised me

And I can't wait to go home

"...A street is a public thoroughfare (usually paved) in a built environment. It is a public parcel of land adjoining buildings in an urban context, on which people may freely assemble, interact, and move about.."

-Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street

This is a mobile photography collection of photos i took when i'm on road heading home or going at the office. Streets and a Slave is about the life of an employee and people on the streets in their weekly routine as they strive to work hard in the metro to have a better life and living.

Streets and a Slave: Streets picture the culture of a working environment in the metro and its commuters, while the word Slave represents the corporate people, simply means the "corporate slave" who work hard under big corporations in exchange of a good paying salary.
