Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. [Isaac Asimov]
Capturing All Saints' Day through the lenses always gives me that creepy feeling. Therefore I took photos therefore were simply iconic and suggestive of what it is all about.
This year is my first time to document a part of Philippine Culture and Tradition--All Saints' Day/ All Souls' Day. However, I do not have plenty of photos since I did not have much time going around the cemetery. Besides, the people in my hometown are not used to being photographed in the solemnity of remembering their departed loved ones, so I decided to leave them in peace and privacy.

Post Script
After shooting some, I felt a tic on my left uper eye lid. I got scared. I thought, nabati ako ng mga spirits in the cemetery. I got scared and just contented myself with a few shots.

About Inkblots: Life Unraveled
- INKBLOTS
- In the life-long quest for coming up with realistic notions about life, this blog ponders and threshes out my advocacies, thoughts, feelings observations, and anything about mundane existence that I perceive to be worthy of the sagacity of the mind and curiosity of the soul. This blog is inspired by Rorschach's (pronounced as 'ror-shak') Inkblots Test, which is a projective technique in psychological testing. The inkblots convey personal meanings to different people.
