Project Rice

April 26, 2003: Laguna Province, Luzon Philippines
Camera: Olympus E10 digital SLR: 9mm f3.2 1/80sec. iso80

"Laguna Little Girl" - I owe this girl & her Family everything, for it was on this first trip to Philippines that I became aware of the needs of the Families there, and began the type of street-shooting that I continue to do today.

Captured with the Olympus E10 SLR, she was the very first child I photographed in this neighborhood, right after I arrived, and there are more images of the children in this Barangay in my first pRICE posts, from May 2006.

I leave for Manila on November 13, 2006 and I'll be going back up to Laguna to try & find those kids from this neighborhood, to thank them and their wonderfull Families, and to update them on what Project Rice has now become.
