Can we normalize shaming people who blatantly steal your photos for their own page engagement?

I'm so sick and tired of these content creators with a huge following who pick on small-time photographers like me. You literally have 20k followers on facebook and you're picking on someone who barely has 900.

I don't have nothing against photographers who clout chase, but please have some decency to CREATE YOUR OWN PHOTOS, MM Photography.

Edit: The specific post with my photos has now been deleted. But let this serve as a reminder that it's NEVER OKAY to grab photos that are not ours. As fellow photographers, let us never tolerate these kinds of actions. :)

Returning to the coastal town where I first learned the basics of the camera is always a grounding experience. But these days, the photography isn't even the main goal. It's the human connection. The way faces light up with smiles when they see the lens, and how easily a camera breaks the ice, sparking light, effortless conversations about life. Every visit here is a reminder of why I started.

There's a type of magic that happens in the grayscale. What was overlooked in the heat of the moment found its voice in the shadows.

There’s a specific kind of life that only reveals itself when you slow down enough to notice.

In the heart of Barangay Ermita, we weren't just taking photos; we were chasing fragments of life in its rawest form. Children laughed beneath the bridges, vendors braved the midday heat, and strangers exchanged glances that held entire stories.

Every corner felt alive. Not with noise, but with presence. There was a distinct grace in the grit: beauty tucked away in the rust, concrete, and the quiet resilience of people finding joy in the chaos.

Sharing these streets with the visualstoryteller ph community made the experience even richer. We all saw the same scenes through different lenses, yet we were connected by the same goal: to witness and understand. It was a reminder that photography isn't just about the shot; it’s about being there.

Ermita gave us more than a collection of frames. It gave us a pulse. It reminded us that the streets are always speaking, we just have to be patient enough to listen.

Some places don’t ask to be photographed. They ask to be felt.

Braving the midday heat to catch the shifting rhythm of Cebu City. There’s a new story on every corner if you’re looking close enough. Grateful to be hitting the pavement and picking up tips from Juan Carlo De Vela today. ☀️
