Here's some shots from Davao, Jack Ridge, Kublai, rice planting, and an eagle sanctuary. The last picture in the album, incidentally, shows the part of the river (left side) the camera was dipped in.

| Davao City |
If you ever happen to be in Davao City... Ponce Suites is the place to go. Kublai is an amazing artist, one who unfortunately doesn't accept commissions from outside the island of Mindanao, who does pro bono work for communities (his money comes from government commissions). His art, as you can probably tell from the pictures, ranges from painting, to sculptures to, unphotographed ironically, photography, architecture (3 houses), installation and poetry. There was so much art in his hotel that, when we were making our way to the top floor of his hotel to meet him... it took us around 30 minutes to get to the 5th floor. He claims the art in his hotel represents less than 10% of his total body of work. Apparently he, for at least a period of several years before the present, would complete at least one piece a day (he was also an insomniac). Anyway... I'm tired and I'm getting up in 4.5 hours so I want to sleep. Later guys.
