Its Blocked Again

Just came back from a month vacation in the Philippines. When I went online to check on my Flickr Gallery to my dismay when I found out that Flickr is banned again in UAE after they lifted the ban few months back damn just uploaded some of the pictures i shot during my vacation I just upload it before leaving Manila.
I just hope that they will lift the ban again in the near future for the meantime just looking for alternative.

Quiapo Church



Been planning/trying to shoot this church for quite sometime (4 years to be exact) have a chance to do it recently during my vacation and I make a trip to Hidalgo St. to get some photography stuff (for those of you not from the Philippines Hidalgo is the Photography haven in the Philippines which incidentally have its Facelift last year more on that later).
this is my version of the Quiapo Church its one of the oldest church i the Philippines it just celebrated its 400th year last month I make this in B&W which is my concept for this shot. I was able to take a couple of shots and this one of the picture I came out which is my favorite for this series of shot.
