Lessons along the road (aka, Roadside photography)

I took my kids on a ride around the metro the past couple of days. Our mission: to document anything that captures our attention by taking photos of the same. We focused our sights on anything that we see along the roads of Manila. Our main objective: to capture a historical moment and store it in a flashdrive for a possible learning experience or for future reference.

It became one memorable lesson in photography. It turned out as a review of the socio-political situation of the country. It became a chance to learn more about ... Life.

We had lots of fun. We had great bonding time. We found a lot of lessons, a lot of life, a lot of ourselves, just along the road.

Herewith are a few of the photos we took:

Smoke belching
