The emo series

A few weeks ago, our school paper, “The Forum”, initiated a photo contest. The theme was an open interpretation of the word “emo” and the winner would be featured in the front page of the folio of the paper and given a cash prize. I joined the contest and conceptualized some emotive photos. Since I was able to make more pictures than I was going to enter in the contest, I decided to make a series or collection of them here. So here it is, my emo series:

Dinagyang Festival 2008 Photos

8 Comments

Spending hours under the heat of the midday sun was worth it after I was able to take these pictures of the Dinagyang Festival 2008 held during the 26th and 27th of January. While the other photographers who had SLR cameras and their long zoom lenses were able to take their stunning photographs standing in the shade (or in one location), I had to move around a bit (because of the limitations of a point a shoot with 6X zoom) so that I’d be able to take decent shots.

The photos I’ll post here are only some of the photos I uploaded, the rest can be found in the Dinagyang 2008 photo set in my flickr account. Here are my best shots:

Piglet Galore during CHN Duty

8 Comments

Right now, I’m having my Community Health Nursing Duty in a Barangay in Leganes. The family, which I was assigned to, raises and sells pigs as a means of livelihood. During our first day, one of the mother pigs just gave birth the night before. The family let us see the piglets… They were just so cute! All 14 of them were crawling around stacked on top of each other while breastfeeding or sleeping. There was this one pig that was half the size of the other piglets and was having trouble getting a spot in the mother pigs nipples since the larger pigs would shove him/her off easily. The pigs made us a bit more excited to visit our client.

Here are some of the pictures I took:

Improved self-portraits

8 Comments

Shooting people is one of my weaknesses as a photographer. I think I take acceptable landscape shots and animal/wildlife shots but when it comes to shooting subjects that are something so dynamic and interactive such as a human, I can’t seem to be confident enough in pressing the shutter due to self doubts whether it will result in a good shot.

So I convinced my friends to let me take portrait shots of them until I get better and I did. I’ll post some pictures of my friends if they will agree. My newly enhanced skill has also helped me take self-portrait shots, so in the meantime, I’ll just post some pictures of myself:

A self-portrait I took after we had our retreat in Saint Clements Church, kind of symbolic perhaps. That’s just me ^_^
It’s quite easy to make actually, just had to play around with the burn and dodge tools in photoshop.
