00:00 Passion and cultural preservation in one.
00:04 This is what the visual artist and literatist Clinton Aniversario
00:10 who is a cordillera in his works through the use of an old camera.
00:16 We will find out his story here.
00:25 A different way of making a picture can preserve memories and bring them back.
00:33 The use of old cameras in taking pictures is a way to understand and value the art.
00:42 Like Clinton Aniversario, a visual artist, a literatist from Baguio City
00:49 who is able to preserve the cordillera heritage and igorot culture through pictures using an old camera.
00:57 In 2008, Clinton started to like taking pictures.
01:06 At first, he was just doing it to get references for his works.
01:12 I liked it all of a sudden because I needed a model and a reference for my art.
01:19 That's how I got into photography.
01:23 From the moment the camera clicked, I was inspired.
01:29 Then I didn't even notice that I was already doing photography.
01:35 Now, more than 200 vintage cameras are being collected by Clinton.
01:42 He takes care of them because he knows that they are part of someone else's life.
01:47 I can imagine what the owners of these cameras were like.
01:52 This is what they were doing for their family.
01:56 You can feel that they are enjoying their work.
02:02 At the same time, they are also teaching their family.
02:07 Aside from being a painter, sculptor, and photographer,
02:12 Clinton also owns a museum and camping site where his collection is displayed.
02:19 You can also see art installations, paintings, sculptures, landscapes, and darkroom
02:27 where you can experience the old way of developing photographic films.
02:33 Clinton's favorite subject is the cultural heritage of Cordillera,
02:37 including the Igurot culture.
02:40 He wants to preserve the history through pictures using old cameras.
02:46 I thought of having a cultural museum here.
02:50 I was thinking of documenting my works here in the cultural museum.
02:56 I hope that I can document the old tools.
03:00 The old cameras are a real charm and joy for Clinton.
03:05 He values them because they prove his love for art and culture.
03:11 I feel relaxed here in my artwork and photography museum.
03:21 I feel like I'm worthy of living.
03:26 I don't need to look for anything else.
03:28 Simple living is really the best.
03:30 He also shares his message to all young artists who want to enter the photography industry.
03:37 The best thing about being a photographer is the experience.
03:42 While you're shooting everyday, you get to experience new things in photography.
03:51 You get to take pictures.
03:53 So, keep on shooting.
03:56 In every click of his old camera,
04:00 a story of Baguio and Cordillera will be released.
04:04 A memory that will never be forgotten.
