Sagada's Masferre remembered.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Desiree Caluza, PDI Northern Luzon Bureau
SAGADA, Mt. Province-"This should enable me to dedicate more time to other matters, especially my pet project of taking a complete (rather as possibly complete) pictorial record of life in our mountain country as it is today."
Thus wrote the famed Cordillera photographer Eduardo Masferre to his wife Nena on Sept. 10, 1950.
"This is just one of the 65 letters that I would read over and over again," said Nena in her home in Sagada. "But this letter is the one I usually read to friends because this is the one that tells his thoughts about how he would commit himself to documenting the rich culture of the Cordillera."
Masferre died on June 24, 1995 at the age of 86. On his 8th death anniversary last week, his family and friends offered a memorial mass for him.
Family members and friends recalled his life and times as documentarist of culture, through his vintage black and white photographs.
