What do you think of this? Would you love to live in the past?
“Old” Philippines looks so much better than present Philippines.
Life was hard but it was so much better then, I think.
What I Love in the photos the most is that they can be remade for whatever we want. Even a picture of an old men can be transformed into an real alien! You can see how it can be done here
