Dinagyang Festival 2007
I thought I had seen it all… then i saw the Dinagyang festival.. i will let my photos below describe how i felt about the whole festival!
all I can saw is that it was fast, it was full of energy found myself trying to catch up with the movements.. the drum beats are haunting me till today.. its an experience i’d like to share thats why am goin back to dinagyang 2008, this time with a group of photographers and hopefully we can bring more people to share this experience of the Dinagyang!
