Chili, there is crime everywhere my friend, rich or poor countries...
I had some fault in my k700īs disapearing - i let it fell from my jacket withou knowing, then someon caight it, and instead of giving it to me (i was close), he choosed not to return the phone and went away
I went to the police, and then asked my operator to block the imei, but i never heard of my beloved k700 since then
Oh well, at least that gave me an excuse to get a k750  (i payed 169 euros + 1200 points in my opertator optimus - it was a good deal) |

It's a shame indeed that we have to worry that taking photos of children can be construed so badly. I grew up on a hippy commune - all kids ran around naked most of the time (you should see the family album, naked children and adults everywhere, all happy, all smiling). Pedophilia wasn't even an issue. The community was so open, and children so confident in themselves and their bodies, that if an adult made them feel uneasy they KNEW implicitly that they had the right to stop them or tell someone about it. It didn't happen often, because we were respected by adults in the community as Human Beings with rights and freewill.
But to be honest I came across many more cases of abuse once I moved to the city..and always involving family members or family friends (including a case in my own family - a city "friend" of the family who touched up a 13 yr old girl and told her not to say anything to anyone), never some stranger with a camera!

@chili....understand the shots were split second decisions buddy. The points i mentioned were just what i picked up from the photos. Anyone with a keen eye (like yourself) will take a shot that catches their eye, the fact that they had depth and for me were really nice for the reasons i mentioned.
with regards to the girl in the photo, i was going to mention at the time that my girls would not be allowed to roam the streets on their own at her age, even now ! But thats the society we live, diferent cultures and so on ( i think enough has been said on this subject)
Anyways... nobody posting ?? hope this thread is not getting too serious
Here's a couple of shots taken over the last couple of days....
these two from my garden
Iron Bridge...supposed to be haunted
I like a bit of colour too

Southern Metro Manila, aboard a jeepney. Unknown couple, in love and oblivious.
Espana Street, Manila. 8:30 p.m. A balut vendor; a vendor of cigarettes, candy, and newspapers; and a pedestrian waiting for public transport.

Malate, Manila, around 9 a.m. Tricycle drivers. In each area, as defined by a fixed starting point and destination ("terminals") consisting of a few kilometers, tricycles belong to and are bound by the rules of a formal driver-and-operator association.
The girl had been intently watching the old man as he was making his phone call. |

I have to say that to be accused of being a pedophile by simply taking a photo of a child is quite a strange idea in the Philippines. I feel sad about the fact that Britons can't even take pictures of children in school sports days and plays. Here, if such pictures aren't taken, we feel that we missed an opportunity to preserve a special moment.
I understand that your society/government has taken the extra step to protect your children. It makes me very happy that we have not found the need for such prohibitions.

i think perhaps there isnt such a great need for this kind of over-protection, and the whole paedophilia issue has been blown out of proportion by the media in this country. I know that obviously this stuff happens, and it should be stopped, but I don't think it happens on such a large scale that no children should ever be photographed. It seems a bit ridiculous to me.
Anyway..
