Hello, everyone, and the Black and White community. This is my entry for the Monomad Challenge. I took this photo about three years ago, and I’m not sure if it’s okay to post, but it’s the only memory I have from that time. We shared so many experiences together, going through ups and downs just like anyone else. We all had a common goal: to be good employees and contribute positively to the company. I believe this was my first black-and-white photo shoot with them. I was experimenting with my phone, and I thought black-and-white was the best choice for this shoot.
This picture was taken during our trip to Polomolok, South Cotabato, where we delivered clothing and food items to the Blaan and Tiboli indigenous tribes. The ride there was bumpy, as their community is located on the highest mountain in Polomolok. We consider that trip to be one of the most adventurous experiences of our lives. In this photo, we had just finished unloading all the supplies and were taking a moment to rest, enjoying ourselves and capturing funny memories, like lining up in front of their small school while taking in the beautiful view.
That place is a wonderful community, and we were so happy that I couldn’t help but smile at how my friends posed for the picture. I really miss those old times.
I find this hilarious I could not remember why we were lining up and all I can remember is we should line up according to height. The third lady with eyeglasses is me.
encouraged everyone to find their best angles, and I must admit, they really delivered!
This is my favorite shoot; everyone is showcasing their unique style, and it was all done freestyle. I couldn't post this on social media before because of the word "ups." The photo is a bit blurred since it was very sunny, and I used my Oppo phone with a black-and-white filter. Unfortunately, I don't have any high-quality cameras like Nikon or Sony. I didn't edit the photos using any apps; I simply played around with my phone while we were there.
Photos are the best-kept memories we can cherish. If you'd like to upvote, reblog, or leave a comment, I’d love that! I would really appreciate it.
I am so happy and excited to share a glimpse of my past with you. I plan to post more pictures in the black-and-white community, and I hope you'll enjoy them!
XoXo
