Non il famigerato Nazareno

Title is just "Not the infamous Nazareno" in Italian.

As it coincided with World Photography Day (yesterday in our country), meant to go to where the FujifilmPHNPPVW2023 was --- obviously did not make it to time of Assembly for the following reasons: 
(1) We still had no water supply at the time, had to motivate myself to go via public commute even without a proper bath 
(2) A main road was temporarily closed to hold a nearby town's feast's opening parade, a subject of contention among the pissed passengers who are running late 
(3) There is the seemingly ubiquitous Department of Public Works and Highways' repairs along Pili-Anayan Diversion Road

On the flip side, it is in fact a blessing that I did not make it on time. 

Was in semi-panic mode and thus, decided to go to a safe space: 
St. Camillus Medical Clinic , where one of my best friends from University (and High School) is listed as the proprietor and is in fact one of the main internists/specialists. Our photo together by his new secretary is in the extras.

Did not expect him to be there at all, just intending to recharge the phone and myself. The St. Camillus Medical building is one of the most calm and sanitary along Isarog Avenue. 

Often overwhelmed with too many people/crowded locations which might sound conflicting with my more than a decade-long passion for street photography (linking past work and current folio site for street photography below).

If it's still August 19th in your country, keep calm and happy shooting :) Sante!
