It all started with this picture. I never thought people would notice that I have a knack for taking shots. They say I do, but I think I have a lot to learn about it. I know lots of people who are really good at it. And looking at their galleries never fails to amaze me.
This pic, which was 50% photoshopped for that nice divine effect, of course, won first prize in a certain contest in the office last year. I'm proud of it, because I was able to capture what I was really looking for, back then. We were asked to take a picture of who we are represented by something or someone else. My son, of course, is the perfect representation of me when I was a kid. Of course, I'm expecting for him to grow a better man than I am.
Nowadays, people have easy access to capturing those, to use the Filipino term, "kodak" moments. We have cameras on cellphones, cheap digital point-and-shoot cameras, video cams, and so on and so fort that were already costly high-end technology if we go back five to ten years in the past.
But while people are busy taking pictures of what's exciting, interesting and nice on the foreground, Archie, Jerome and I always take time to capture those that are beautiful yet unnoticed most of the times. We've got a lot of these pictures already stored in our old PC's hard drive. Today, I figured- "Sayang naman if we just throw them away if there's a need to defrag and clean the system." Thus... this blog.
This blog is also a reminder of our newly realized dream of owning a Canon EOS one day. For now, we'd have to make the best out of our phonecams and point-and-shoots, and faith to what professional photographers always say- "Wala sa camera yan... nasa kumukuha yan." (with a state-of-the-art camera hanging on your neck? Yeah right.) ;-p - AdeL
