journey 4 a cause

I really feel great when traveling. For me its a feeling of exploring what you want to see and slightly nervous feeling that you might got lost from nowhere. But those feelings are just normal.

†♠foto exhibit....♠†

such a long day.. haizt... it's been a long tiring and head-aching day for all of masscom pipz... from scratch to exhibiting board in our photo exhibit... the exhibit showcases the photos that we capture from our own ideas... The exhibit comprise whole lot of fun, confusion, irritated and angry faces of my colleagues. Those feelings were faded and replace by smiling faces and laughter.

The picture falls to human interest category. I can't remember its title. Hihih... Sad to say it didn't won. Badly I want to win but winning is not my game. This picture was taken in Amadeo, Cavite. Place serves as our subject for Photography class. A bit hard to take pictures but it takes a lot of charm and charisma to convince the subject to do what you want it to be. Like the picture on the left side, I just took a stolen shot of two women living in a old, ruined house. Although poor, they sure make their life comfortable since its hard to live for now. They surely contented on what they have for no as long as they live and love together. I titled it as "Live In", coz on my first sight of this photo, this title pop-up in my mind and curiously I named it that way.

I had taken this picture also in Amadeo. Its hard to find a subject in such one day and to think that it will be an astonishing photo of the year. I really had a hard time to convince the child just to pose for my shot. Its a portrait style of taking photos. As his mom says, "Mahirap kunan 'yan sobrang mahiyain", it takes a lot of courage and patience to do. But, because I'm a mass comm studes I had convince him and finally he never haad a tantroums. I didn't jointhis photo in our exhibit. Myprofessor had to get it and I insisted to give it so, I didn't gave it. Hahah... So, selfish of me.

Next photo that I have shot is the church of Amadeo. I had a hard time to took it and captivating the shot I want. It was raining when I caught it so I must really have to speed up my time taking it picture. My professor also told us that never capture architectural building like houses and churches but I don't have a choice most of my group mates had took pictures of houses. So I grab the opportunity and take the chance of taking it before somebody will do it too.

On this side, I have taken picture of a landscape of a house in Amadeo. I boosted up myself to convince the owner to take a picture of their landscape. It capture my attention because of its uniqueness and simplicity. Although not that good to take, still a piece to be proud of. Honestly, it was hard to take pictures because the owner of the house persistently looking at me until I got finished the taking picture. After taking picture, the owner wants to see the picture if its nice or bad. But, I told her I was using an SLR camera and in order to look at it it has to be developed. Then she agreed and finally let me out in thier house.

We have four boards in displace. We showcases photos of our own captured of architectural sites, landscape natural scenery, portrait of different people and collaboration of human interest in the real face of society. It's been a tiring day but worth it to be summed. I must say that its just the beginning of our long journey in fulfilling our different dreams and precise goals in life. It's just an inch of what we can do. It is the start of busy schedules for the preparation of our week-long exams. Finally, it is the start of our semestral break. I'm so happy to say that we can rest for a bit after the exhausted days in college. It is hard to face those days in tertiary level but, those rigid days is the key to success. Well, well, well, glad to tell you that it is fine for now but I can say that it will stay good as long as masscom pipz will cooperate. Masscom pipz always rule.♣:-)
