Photography - My Passion or so I Said 2

Let me post more of my previous hobby.

This is a photo of yen2x, my officemate's daughter. She was still little when I took this photo (around 3-4) maybe. Now, she's already in 1st-2nd grade. How time really passes so fast.

year taken: 2006

This is a candid post. She had no idea that she was being photographed. In fact, I was around, 15 to 20 meters away from here when this shot was taken.

I can still remember that time when I took this photo. It was our coop's (SEMPCO) general assembly and I was kinda "not" listening to the speaker. I got bored and what I did to erase the boredom that I felt was, take photos of those around me. People, plants, whatever that captured my attention.

I was also mastering protrait photography because this is my most difficult area of photography. i find it difficult taking photos of people. I dont want a posed/rehearsed shot, it doesn't appeal to me. What I want when it comes to people/portrait photography is candid and unrehearsed so that I could capture people's thoughts, real expressions and true feelings - the real them when nobody is watching.


Going back to yen2, though I still remember the time and place where I took this photo, I can't really remember this moment or what she was doing that time, thus having such expressions in her eyes.

Crying over Sad Movies - It's the very Me



A Moment to Remember (November 2004)

 Just finished watching a Korean classic Movie A Moment to Remember. And after I've watched it, my tears just keep pouring down. Really really love the movie. It's about a broken-hearted girl who had found real love in the most unexpected place. The sad part is, though theirs was a perfect love, it was still not perfect for fate played tricks on them. The girl acquired Alzheimer's desease in the later part of the movie. huhuhu just when everything seemed to be perfect... too bad there "was an eraser in her head".

I really love watching love stories with bittersweet ending. I still remember when I and my honey watched The Time Travellers Wife. The movie had just started but I was already crying inside the movie house. hehehe He told me to hold my tears coz people might wonder what he did to make me cry like that.

A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, A.I (Artificial Intelligence), Bi-Centennial Man, and Armageddon are just some of the tear-jerkers that succeeded in bringing out the cry baby in me.

well, that's life. You really can't have it all. But they're just movies. Real life has full of happy endings. :)

Just a thought - 2/26/2011

Today, I have pent up emotions, mixed thoughts, feelings which can't be explained. Maybe, the coffee is getting into my nerves. Caffeine did it to me i guess. I can't really express this feeling of melancholy, the depression that is putting weight on me, the feeling of sadness... of why, i can't put reason to. I want to cry, I want to shout, I want to unleash this feeling of loneliness so that I could be free of it.  I always have this unexplainable feeling that creeps inside me, down to the cores of my being. Is this some sort of an illness? Madness? Im normal I guess, but sometimes, I feel that I am not.

Photography - My Passion or so I Said

Way way back, my drive for photography was so high that I always wanted to have a cam in hand. I was fascinated by Micro and Landscape/Nature photography. Portrait or People is what I like the least because i find it difficult to have a nice shot.

Reminiscing the past, below are some of the shots that I did. Nakuha ko sa baul a.ka. TrekEarth.com and Treklens.com hehe

I took this shot in Lake Sebu when I and She2x visited Corazon in Bacdulong. This was taken last 2007

More posts to come, tulog muna Ako :)
