Kahit nauso na ang makabagong teknolohiya, hindi pa rin bumibitaw sina Tatay Danny at Clinton sa tradisyunal na pagkuha ng mga litrato.  Si Tatay Danny, kahit hirap nang maglakad at malabo na ang paningin, tuloy pa rin sa hanapbuhay. Si Clinton naman, abala sa pangangalaga ng kanyang box cameras—ang ‘lolo’ ng mga camera. Noon, sila ang bumubuo ng mga alaala. Ngayon, paalala sila na may ganda pa rin ang sining ng nakaraan.  Panoorin ang ‘Kamerang de Kahon,’ dokumentaryo ni Atom Araullo sa #IWitness.  #iBenteSingko

00:00Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral is a favorite place for visitors to Baguio.

00:11Of course, you can't forget to pray.

00:19And take a picture in front of the church.

00:30Father Danny also goes to Baguio Cathedral every day.

00:39At the age of 70, and because of his diabetes, it's hard for him to walk.

00:46And he can't see with one of his eyes.

00:51But he says he needs to work hard to find a way to make a living.

00:57Father Danny is a photographer.

01:03But his job seems to be leaving time.

01:09What do you offer to your visitors?

01:13When I didn't have a cell phone, I offered them cell phones with all the views.

01:20The tour is now free, they can just take pictures.

01:26In the past, people like Father Danny used to pay to take pictures from the church.

01:33But not anymore.

01:35In the past, there were people who refused to take pictures.

01:39But now, there are only a few.

01:42Out of 1,000 customers, maybe not even one.

01:45To make a little money, Father Danny helps to take pictures of the visitors using his cell phone.

01:54I just walk around.

01:57I run around.

01:59Whatever I want to give, I save it.

02:03It's like a tip.

02:05Yes, it's like a tip.

02:07Whatever I want to give, I save it.

02:09It's like a tip.

02:11Whatever I want to give, I save it.

02:14It's like a tip.

02:16It's like a tip.

02:18I asked Father Danny to take a picture of me.

02:22Tell me what I look like.

02:25This is your side.

02:27This is your side.

02:39This is your side.

02:42This is your side.

02:49There's more.

02:51There's more.

02:53Father Danny is getting excited.

02:55This is your side.

03:00This is your side.

03:02What's a good pose?

03:04Like this.

03:05Like this?

03:07You're cheap.

03:09You're cheap.

03:12One, two, three.

03:16Perfect.

03:18Beautiful.

03:20This is beautiful.

03:22The color is beautiful.

03:24I smiled at Father Danny for a moment.

03:27I felt his sadness at the end of his search for life.

03:31Beautiful.

03:35But just 30 minutes from Baguio,

03:39another photographer is passing by.

03:44What is this room?

03:46This is my cave, actually.

03:48Clinton has a lot of worries.

03:52He's always lost in thought.

03:57Sometimes, painting.

03:59Sometimes, art installation.

04:02Sometimes, wood carving.

04:03Sometimes, rubber cutting.

04:06And a lot more.

04:08I can't remember.

04:14Clinton took me around his place.

04:18It's not just a house, but an art gallery and a museum.

04:25What are the subjects of your paintings?

04:29What you see here in Cordillera.

04:31These are your carvings?

04:34Yes, sir.

04:36These are driftwood carvings.

04:38It's beautiful.

04:46Who is this?

04:48Igubat No. 3.

04:50No. 3?

04:52Yes, that's my Igubat No. 3.

04:54What scrap metal is this?

04:57It looks like it's from a car.

04:59Yes, almost.

05:01This is a car.

05:13But for Clinton's many interests,

05:17what drives him crazy now

05:20is taking pictures.

05:29Welcome to my second cave.

05:31Oh, yeah.

05:33Wow, there's a lot of cameras.

05:36Is this all your collection?

05:38Yes, sir.

05:40What are some of your favorites here?

05:47Wow.

05:51Working paint.

05:55These are called rangefinders.

05:59I should open one of my eyes while shooting.

06:03This is the focus.

06:05This one.

06:09There's also a focus.

06:11Nice.

06:13According to Clinton,

06:15he has long been fond of taking pictures.

06:17But as his collection of old cameras grew,

06:21he became more eager to experiment.

06:25I already have a collection of cameras.

06:27I don't collect them just to display them.

06:30I want to use them.
