Amazing photos! It is as if you didn't any level of difficulty in taking those photos. the guy in the 4th photo down below was even a willing subject. The only I could get into this place is a distant photo like this one that can be found in my blog ( http://travelogue.digitalrebel.ws/2006/06/quiapo-bridge.html )
oh Sidney! I would like to buy those hanging shells to serve as a curtain in my apartment. I've been looking for something like that eversince. The one Regalong Pambahay got is quite expensive. May I know where in Quiapo? I am actually scared of going to Quiapo..tsk tsk tsk :(
The stalls are so stuffed with goods that its often impossible to walk through and see whats for sale without bumping into things and having stuff fall on the floor, but then I'm twice the size of an average Filipino!
Your photos are very beautiful. They make me want to visit and buy some pretty things. I would also walk around the city and take my own photos, then visit outside the city and see the farms. :)

shopper's paradise, photographer's utopia. the plant hangers (picture 3) remind me of the time I helped my SIL in making them.
