Queen to lead RWM's Grand Parade
RWM adds a generous helping of fun to Grand Fiesta Manila 2010.
When Pinoys hear the word pista, two things pop up in their minds: food and parades. While it is a well-known fact that Filipinos love to eat, what with the five or six meals they are said to consume per day, on more special occasions like the Fiesta, they add a generous helping of fun to the celebration with their vibrant parades.
Filipinos spend weeks and even months preparing for a parade. They start scouting around for the Adonises and Aphrodites to be at the forefront of the procession. They ready the dresses and costumes, bejeweled and embroidered. They decorate the floats with everything from glitters, crepe paper, dried leaves, flowers and tree woods just to name a few. The dancers, muses and marching bands rehearse their captivating routines.

SIX6
Silverlens Gallery is turning SIX!
We are celebrating our anniversary with a Photography show by SIX artists - Frankie Callaghan, Wawi Navarroza, Neal Oshima, Rachel Rillo, Steve Tirona and Denise Weldon. SIX6 is curated by Silverlens' Director, Isa Lorenzo.
Susan Sontag's treatise 'On Photography' was the seminal text on photography theory. Published in 1973, it considered the relation of photography to art, to conscience and to knowledge. But it considered a time before digital images, computers, and Photoshop. The medium then was film. The last twenty years have seen further democratization of photography through post-production and digital tools. Today, photography is considered in relation to imagination and fantasy.
