It was February 14, 2010 - Chinese New Year celebration at my home town, Binondo. It was hot, sticky, filthy, noisy, and crowded - quite a wonderful experience!
Enjoy the photos...
Find Mickey...
Fire crackers and trinkets are everywhere
Christian icons on Chinese ornaments
The color of fruits never fails to catch my attention, and so does he...
The wires of Binondo creates abstraction in my photo
The man is eaten by the lion
Colors are exploding in Binondo
Balloon - No Balloon
Chinese - Filipino
Church window reminds me of Old European castles
Lanterns line-up like Dragon
...and create beautiful contrasts from the background.
Kids...
...bathing in the fountain
They do know how to have fun in the sun.
...and they don't seem to care what people think of them at all.
And now back to the main road, where a policeman search for his next "victim"
...and where the main event is happening.
Blue Dragon and Red Lion came face to face.
Awesome Brazilian-inspired band made a twist in Chinese New Year. They attract so much attention that I had a hard time taking pictures of them. Thankfully the manager saw me and put me in front of them as I was mistaken to be a foreigner.
Until the next photo-shoot.

they are great pictures, kenny! amazing snapshots. and it must have been pretty dangerous with your expensive camera. but worth the risk! you have a good eye for motives. our next shooting-session will be interesting as well - the beautiful river trip.
I can't wait for that, I'll reserve the day as soon as you announce the date!
