early childhood
So I missed the sunrise again. It’s really very difficult to get up early when we all know that the sun will rise again tomorrow. And the next day, and the day after that. Don’t get me wrong; I love watching the sunrise, but I love staying in bed a little longer even more.
This is probably the best early morning photo walk I’ve ever had. The residents are already up before 7:00 in the morning while downtown is still quiet on this Sunday morning. The neighborhood kids are mostly awake, but still in a transition from sleep to wakefulness.
What’s on his mind? Why so pensive?
They’re heading to the beach! As a kid I’ve spent a good many Sundays at the beach too. The water was still crystal clear and the beaches were mostly uninhabited then. Not anymore today. It’s very sad.
Boys at the public market. They’re just sitting there, as with their parents tending the stalls. It looks like a slow day.
Breakfast will be served. I love pandesal bread with coffee. Just dunk the bread in instant coffee; it makes me happy.
This is the story of the 3 little kids and the little pig that went to the market. I left out the wolf; we only have stray dogs.
Still too young to get lost in thought….
A walk with my camera 
another amazing lot!!
Hi Orly, good photos you have here. I just wonder if is it camera black and white setting or you use a software?
thank you. I shoot in color then use Lightroom for conversion.
Thank you for sharing, love to see the world through the eyes of others. Keep up the great work.
you’re welcome, and thank you likewise.
Thank you all for the very positive feedback. I appreciate them very much.
@Leisa, I do hope our kids will appreciate everything we provide them. There is a lot to be thankful for, and every time I walk the neighborhood I find myself being more thankful than before.
Excellent write up and photos! Thanks for sharing.
The little boy in the traysikol got to me. So young yet already doing his share to help the family. When we were in Sorsogon, Ray and I saw a kid, perhaps 7-8 years old, riding a Karabaw hauling some water I think it was. He looked so young and so little and we instantly thought of Little Ray and how his life is so much different. Definitely put things in perspective.
I have just discovered your blog and I think it is going to be a favorite. You do such beautiful work.
I’ve been following your blog since digital photography school featured it. I love your work. I check it out daily. Keep ot coming. Great stuff!!!
Thank you, George.
Love the girl and also the boy in link fence, his face dare the camera.
I had to be sneaky here 🙂 didn’t want to wake the kids from their blank gaze otherwise they’ll jump up and pose.
Hello Orlando, I love all your black and white photos… Your photos always tell a story. It only goes to show that you are a great and talented photographer.
thank you, and thanks for dropping by.
Hello orlando uy. I really enjoy your photos, your style and your comments. I live in the Chicago area.
thank you. Warm greetings from Tacloban City, Philippines!
Good Morning Tacloban!! Such a wonderful breakfast treat. The dunking of the pandesal is funny, because most of us do the same 🙂 I love the kid on “lost in thought”. Bless the children. Thank you.
I was wondering and asking too ” what was in his mind ” orlando like all your pictures, keep up all the best, Tita Mila
thank you, Tita Mila.
how about pouring coffee on a plate of rice for breakfast? and coca-cola on rice? It might be just me, though. hahaha.
One of these days I hope I will be able to show these photos to the kids when they all grow up, just like Chris Porsz.
