I met Anthony & Grace in a coffee place in El Nido: Hama Coffee. ‘noticed they were taking each other’s photos, so I offered to help out. (Photo #5, for your reference. I didn’t have my cameras with me, as I was on a break after shooting for three consecutive days.)
A few iPhone button presses later, I asked, “Where are you guys from?”
“Hong Kong!”
“Oh! I’ll be there next week!”
And so I was. One week later - with Anthony & Grace - this time, in Fortress Hill, in an equally hip coffee place, but without the view of iconic Cadlao Island this time. And finally, I was also able to shoot at the Sunbeam Theatre - a spot that has been on my HK list for quite some time now. I would then find out that it was scheduled to be demolished in the near future. (Sunbeam turned out to be significant to Grace as well!)
