You’ll often hear landscape photographers talk about the so-called ‘Golden Hour’, that is, the 30-minute time frame you have before and after sunset to get the best light in the sky.

Unfortunately, both wanderboy and lantaw had to cancel at the last minute, meaning I had to do the taste driving blind. Good thing, though, I was able to tag my friend Trish along. So we went together to explore the narrow and crowded streets of Binondo and see what they have to offer.
