Whoa, not what I was expecting. Great shots Flava. Such contrasts. The black & white really leaves an impression. Thanks.

What a contrast between the two. The most developed nation on earth and one of the least. This would be like a US vs Cuba composition. Really great job, love it!

Yeah... A lot of the time I didn't even feel like pulling my camera out because I was too preoccupied with taking in the sights lol.

I expected some Oakland neighborhood with Filipinos and Japanese. Not actual Filipinos and Japanese. Me likey.

I like how you mixed things up a little.

Manila truly is one of the 'great' Asian metropolises - absolutely cyclonic, filthy and lacking in any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

But Filipinos are great, don't get me wrong.

Another great thread and shots, Nineties!

Thanks for sharing. I´ve liked the skylines at dusk. Beautiful shots!

Happy New Year and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Short, sweet, and to the point. Shouldn't be any other way.

This is the best short photothread ever.

volguus zildrohar · #16 Posted **Jan 11, 2013, 6:04 PM**

Yes, yes, yes!

ChiTownCity · #17 Posted **Jan 24, 2013, 11:05 PM**

Way too short but still so good

Wow, how did I miss this thread? Wish you had more pics; not many post the grittier parts of Manila around here.

Are those PNR tracks? Between that and the warehouses in the background, I'd initially guess somewhere near Tondo or the harbor (maybe around Tutuban?), but it doesn't seem dense enough. Curious to know...
