a typical scene within the vicinity of quiapo church... candle vendors. they say that if you light a candle and say a prayer, your wishes will come true. They even have a color coding for each candle, red is for love, white for peace, and so on.
join me as i rediscover the beauty of manila through one photo a day
Please note that i am not a professional photographer. To those who are curious the camera i'm using is Canon Powershot A520.
UPDATE: a very kind soul gave me an ultra nice and spanking new Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS, last October 2008 which i have been using non-stop since then... Thanks again to the one and only Reyna Elena
UPDATE2: last 2009 i finally got myself a DSLR - Canon Rebel Xsi (Canon 450D) to be exact, and have been alternately using it with the PS from REynz

It is always interesting how tradition endures the past of time no matter how modern and globalized out world can be. Nice picture.
great treatment of the candlelight.
An interesting photograph. The colors are impressive to me as I seldom take shots at night.
