TriShaw Driver


You can go around town to see Melaka's sights on one of these Trishaws. It's well decorated with colorful flowers and accessories, accompanied by loud heavy metal music. No wonder it's hard not to notice.

Night Crawlers



Back in Manila, my friends and I go out for skate sessions after work. Thursdays was our regular skate night. But when work doesn't get in the way, we would skate every night.

It started in 2005 when I went out to skate at a parking lot near my office. Empty and quiet, all one can hear is the sound of the wheels spinning when it carves the concrete. As the night wears on, the chopping sound of the board breaks the silence of the city.

It was like some sort of freedom. It felt so great.

After a long day, you'll go out there and skate your stress away. Without thinking of work and being chased by security guards. Without worrying if it's already 2 A.M. It was just pure fun.

World's first photograph- The Camera Obscura

Centuries of advances in chemistry and optics, including the invention of the camera obscura, set the stage for the world’s first photograph. In 1826, French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, took that photograph, titled View from the Window at Le Gras, at his family’s country home. Niépce produced his photo—a view of a courtyard and outbuildings seen from the house’s upstairs window—by exposing a bitumen-coated plate in a camera obscura for several hours on his windowsill.

Meet Pete Eckert

Pete Eckert is a totally blind person.
But through his photography, he proves that he IS a visual person,
he just can't see.
