Artistic Decors, Portraits, and uniquely designed Colorful Houses. This were just three of the subjects to shoot from when taking a photowalk in this festival.
Pahiyas Festival is a colorful feast celebrated every 15th of May by the people of Lucban, Quezon in honor of San Isidro Labrador. It is the farmers’ thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest with a grand display of colorful rice wafers, fruits, vegetables, and handicrafts adorning every house in the town.
Ladies and Gents, Welcome to the Pahiyas Festival! \m/
Do you smell what this fest is cookin’? I tell you a secret… These are the ingredients used in cooking a good, unique, colorful, artistic designs in this festival.
1. Masks
Colorful and creatively designed masks hangin’ around the walls of Lucban.
Mr. Suave on the wall, who’s the suave of them all…
2. Mannequins and Dummies
The pinoy version of mannequin. A scarecrow like farmer but this is a friendly one. A welcome dummy that gives smile to a lot of visitors.
3. Vegetables
Vegetables are not only used in cooking, but in decorations also. Green, Red and Yellow. I guess this is where the Power Rangers got their color coding.
The evolution of Tomatoes…
Who says pumpkins are only for halloween? Well Pahiyas Festival got it and this house Rocks! \m/
Cherry and Bull’s Eye! Correct me if I’m wrong, but those thing that frames the subject is called Palusot. The towns local version of Pilipit.
4. Pabitin
Pabitin – One of the oldskool game and tradition that symbolizes fiesta here in the Philippines. Grab ‘em all \m/
6. Sticks
The house of Art, home of creativity and lens catchin’ design. Let’s give it a shot! \m/
I don’t know what to call this one, but this is absolutely, positively, creatively executed work of art! \m/
7. Banig and Bayong
Bayong and Banig. Two local products that’s internationally sold worldwide. And to give you a little info, this is the house where you can find Noknok’s good stuff.
One of unique and colorful designed hats you can find here in Pahiyas Festival. I say this house is a winner! \m/
A dragon-like spiral decor made of Banig. This one Rocks! \m/
8. Ropes and Kiping
What grows in the ropes are flowers without thorns. Nice combos here!
Rose-shaped Kiping. Melts in your mouth not in your hand!
I’m sure your wonderin’ what the heck is Kiping that I’m saying. Kiping is Lucban’s unique popular art. A thin paper-like leaves made of rice that comes with different colors. Can I eat this one? Hell Yeah! I’ve already eat one of those and it’s good! \m/
9. Colors
Colors… Yeah this one has it! A fan with a color wheel consisting of Primary colors. Coooooool!
10. Bottle Caps
Bottle Caps: Recycling + Creativity = the image above
11. Self Portait
Self Portrait – Yeah! Last and definitely the least, give your self a souvenir shot that will make you see and feel that you were in this or that place. \m/
