My photo essay started off as a way to find out more about the Filipino's love of Basketball. I would walk sometimes 10km a day documenting the Courts and Hoops of the impoverished villages in the Southern Philippines.
The hoops I have documented will eventually be replaced by newer and more generic courts as the Philippines (and hopefully the local villagers) become more affluent.
The project is still ongoing with over 200 courts and hoops documented, together with sub sets of the series including a focus on backboards.
