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.
