i was drawn to the bashful but friendly smile of this aeta kid. i feel very lucky to have captured that smile in this photo.
i took this photo sometime in 1998 somewhere in tarlac. just before taking an oven-hot 8-hour trek to the Mt. Pinatubo crater through eerily beautiful lahar-scuptured landscape.
