Baguio City Market Fire




On our way home with batteries exhausted from shooting the Panagbenga Floats and Drums & Lire competition and an all night drinking party with fellow photographers, we saw the market ablaze. I was able to get a few shots before my battery finally ceased on me.

Wasn't able to shoot the burned out sign. I left Sir Monching with the Mayor still shooting. More photos from him. Some photos from Waffy too who's batteries are as exhausted as mine.

  5. Yup I was able to capture some. A fireman was even requesting for a shot but the battery was dead. Should've charged while drinking last night.
