A Vanishing Trade

A Vanishing Trade

Once considered one of the world's greatest wonders (or so they say), the Banawe Rice Terraces are fading into a thought in history. I joined one of the Philippines' most prestigious camera clubs in their OTS in 2004 to shoot this wonder. I must say it was agonizing to see it vanishing before my eyes so, I did my best to preserve it, the only way I know how.

it's always amazing to see world wonders captured with much passion like this...the majesty and the quiet all in interplay with light.

good job pochie!...I've always wanted to visit this magnificent "vanishing trade". I hope when that time comes it will still look as majestic as your picture.

Fantastic drama shot in BW. The terraces of Bontoc and Sagada are much more magnificent as they were carved out of stone unlike Banaue which was done with mud.

The trip however is long and ardous...
