Your Scene: A pet project in the Philippines

Jason McKenney was in the Philippines this summer to visit the town of Baler, northeast of Manila. During a boat trip across the river that divides the village, he saw a boy with two kittens, one perched on his shoulder and the other on his lap.

“The solemn, piercing eyes of the child can capture a viewer’s attention, as if he’s on guard watching for any potential threats to the kittens he’s protecting,” said the Torrance residence.

McKenney used a Canon EOS Rebel XT.
