Balut Party Kids, Cebu Philippines
Cebu, Philippines: Julie's Bakeshop
Another image from the occasional 'Balut Street Party' at Julie's Bakeshop in Cebu, where we made sure these kids enjoyed some Balut eggs they like, as we enjoyed some of the Bakeshop goodies.
...taken on Feb. 4, 2005 the little girl in the middle also appears in the famous photo with the street lights glowing a beautiful orange color, in the post-link below.
Again shooting at night with no flash in available light, this was a risky image to try to get hand-held at 1/15second, but I'm happy I nailed it pretty well:
1/15s f/3.5 at 54.0mm iso1600 (Olympus E1)
see the 'orange streetlight' photo & read the story here
We're also going to try to get them some new clothes for Christmas 2006, to replace some of their tattered hand-me-downs (in conjunction with Lisa & LetLet's Clothing Drive), if the donated funds are there.
Regards,
