Paoay Sand Dunes - Beach, Ilocos Norte. Philippines

Seven months ago, Lou and I rode a bus heading north

Laoag, Ilocos Norte

We were preparing for her Film undergraduate thesis – that’s what we told her mom but really we were looking for home.

She wrote about a lady and a traveler’s meeting in the desert only to part by the sea.

It’s been more than half a year. The film was shown last march and somehow I can’t believe that it actually came to life. The places are different now and we were lucky to have found these places when we did. We were different people in these photos – the north changed us too.
