I present to you the first batch of photographs from a personal project I have decided to start.

Travel Photography conjures images of stunning vistas and postcard-worthy scenes. But that doesn’t mean that the little things we often shrug upon do not tell stories. A simple tight shot of a fallen leaf may tell stories as complex and intricate as a wide, grand shot of a beach scene. Shot in black and white film, I bring to you a different approach to travel photography. Although some shots may not have a sense of place, I find stories and interest in the mundane, in contrast, in shadows and highlights, in texture, in composition, in blacks and in whites.

Let me start with these photographs taken from my recent trip to Coron, Palawan shot with a Canon system, with Kodak Tri-X 400.
