Seafood in Roxas City, it's a reputation that precedes. But today we're in the town of Bay-bay, Roxas City, marveling at a coast blanketed with rows and rows of dried fish. The process is simple enough: small fish are neatly laid out on bamboo trays (called bolaran), doused with salt water, and turned-over several times a day. And just like in photography, it's the sun that does the rest. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: To take successful black & white pictures, you need to see your compositions in black and white. Instead of colors, you need to look for contrasts and shapes, for tonality and patterns. It can be a struggle at first, but the rewards are real.)
