I've always had a fascination with coffee table books. Through the years I amassed a small collection mostly featuring art. Honestly, getting the chance to see some of the pieces I've seen immortalized in books gave me quite a rush. Getting to photograph them amplified the thrilling experience. After the show, I started to look through my books and just as I remembered, there they were. In my Tuklas Sining and Sayaw books were the historical pieces in the glossy pages. So I figured I would do a retrospective blogpost. So here is my then and now , a tribute to the past and current employ of Ballet Philippines.
Note to self: Check the history books before shooting :)
