After watching the Queen's Gambit, this movie made me realized that I grew up in a chess-loving community which is Baguio City. You can find numerous people scattered around People's Park or Burnham Park playing chess.
Mainly, the elders were the ones playing chess. They are either there to play chess or just observed people or chat with strangers of their age for hours. My grandfather was one of them before settling in our province. It is just sad that they can no longer go outside because of the pandemic. Playing chess is one of their quality time for themselves.
Also, it is easy to find chess pieces and chess boards made out of wood in my province. Given that woodcarving is part of our culture and a source of livelihood to some.
I miss doing street photography in my home town. I miss walking around. I miss watching the elders do their things. I just miss traveling a lot. Even though I am a timid person but, I am brave enough when it comes to street photography. I hope this pandemic will end soon, and we can do again the things we love the most.
