I Can Fly
Uploaded: July 26, 2007 21:39:55
Taken one afternoon on Boracay Island, in the Philippines.
I waded into the water to shoot a photo of this boy that I had previously encountered while I was out swimming in the ocean. He had some sort of trust or understanding of who I was - so when I saw him again he happily played up to the camera with his friends, jumping off a rock.
After I press the shutter I quickly pull the camera down and turn away to avoid any splash on the lens...
This photo attempts to sum up the carefree and happy nature of being a child who has one of the world's most beautiful islands as his playground.
Exposure: f/11, 1/500 seconds

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
