This month, liwaliw Pages shares space with books selected from my personal library's "pride of place," namely those I received as gifts (or pasalubong) from my BFF Emerson Miranda, who was born on July 13, 1984, and passed away only last September 28, 2018. He was 34 years old.
"The Great Wave, Sete," a photograph featured on page 429 of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide is by Gustave Le Grey, who died in 1884, a hundred years before BFF Eon was born. Noted by this guidebook:
The dramatic effects of sunlight, clouds, and water in Le Gray'seascapes stunned his contemporaries at the time when most photographers found it impossible to achieve proper exposure of both landscape and sky in a single picture.(In this age of digital camerawork and photo manipulation, that concern might already be hard to imagine or appreciate.)
Coincidentally, the month of October is also Museums and Galleries Month, pursuant to Proclamation No. 798, series of 1991.
