[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Only in the Philippines. Young boys walking streets during Holy Week and perform the act of flagellation.

First, a skin on the back is cut a little by a razor blade. Next, thousands of hits rips of the skin. Though rods are made of bamboo tree the number of whips makes the skin look like on the picture.

Choćbyś widział tę scene tysiac razy - zawsze bije w leb swoją wymową.

Gdzies w tym wszystkim jest może moja zazdrosc, że 'ja tak bym nie potrafił' !
Że zedrę sobie skórke z naskórka i lecę... Mammaaaaa !!!

Pozdrawiam i życze wesolutkiego, spokojnego łykendu ze szklanką zimnego piwa w łapie…

Dobra robota, Grzegorz
