Detour Photo Exhibit

Taken in Bangkok, Thailand by Borsoto

I was one of the privileged people to be invited to the launching of the photo exhibition “Detour: Capturing the World from a Different Perspective” at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati Avenue, Ayala Triangle, Makati City on May 16, 2011. The event began at six o’clock in the evening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by exhibitors Cheryl Borsoto and Jackson Tan.

“Detour” features photographic works taken by the exhibitors while travelling in various parts of the world including Singapore and Thailand.  I am no expert in photography but I do appreciate such type of art.  The photos taken in foreign countries are awe-inspiring but what will also catch the attention of visitors, especially the Filipinos, are the impressive photographs that Borsoto and Tan have taken of the Philippines.

Here are some of the highlights of the exhibit:

Borsoto and Tan were among the top students of professional photographer Jay Alonzo in the workshop “Photo 102:  Beyond the Basics.” “Detour” is a work-in-progress which Borsoto and Tan intend to continue as an online magazine featuring works by other photographers enrolled in the workshop.  The exhibit may be viewed until May 31.
