the wandering chew

an old photo from 2005, I think. I had just gotten a camera and I was staying in our old apartment in Leon Guinto. The light there is beautiful at any time of the day. Maybe it has something to do with the large capiz windows. Or the old, mirror fronted tukadors. Anyway I had just gotten my ear pierced. I never kept that one. I toss and turn a lot in bed—-piercings like that would never really heal properly. I’m just putting this one up because I remember this is the photo that started my habit of not looking directly at the lens. Like it was a shy way of saying I’m here and you can see me a little.  But only just enough.
