Teodulo Protomartir is one of the first Filipino photographer who popularized the use of 35mm cameras during the 30's and 50's - a time when large format was the norm (source).  Some of his work will be shown in an exhibition titled 'Being There 1946: The Legacy of Teodulo Protomartir' at Silverlens Gallery on the 9th of June 2010.

Can't wait to hear Uro dela Cruz talk about Protomartir - the man who accidentally found Protomartir's work in a thrift shop in Manila.
