I didn’t like Journey growing up in the 80’s. The cheesy soft ballads and rock n’ roll tights, I didn’t want anything to do with it. I was a mod in the 80’s and I still consider myself one but I have grown to like them. It could be that Betty made me listen to them on my iPod that I opened up to the music. Surprisingly we have different taste in music. I never thought I’d be with someone who dislikes my girl Sinead O’Connor but Betty does. What exactly am I trying to get at here? Just rambling really but the title of this photo is a Journey song.

This photograph is from my files as it was from the Festival of the Chariots at Golden Gate Park. I hardly go back to my old negatives but I think it’s good practice to do so once in awhile as you come across photographs that you missed. Anyway this is from my Leica using slide film, possibly Fuji Velvia.

POTD: Photo project by Filipino photographer Estan Cabigas titled Coping with a Desaparecido. It’s brilliant work and highlights an all too common problem of ordinary Filipino citizens suddenly disappearing. According to the International Convention for the Protection of all Persons against Enforced Disappearance, the disappearances are “committed by government officials or by organized groups acting in behalf, or with the support, consent or acquiescence of the government,”. I urge you to take a look at the entire series from various Filipino photographs.
