Since I started using DSLR camera, I became passionate with the different shots, angles and capture subjects that will fit on the scenery I created on my mind. These became intense as I am obliged to have an output of success story on rice and organic farming. On my own perspective, pictures showed beauty that captured attention depending on the person’s outlook. This is my guide every time I focused my camera to the subject or model and have my final shot to accomplish the given task. The very simple point of view becomes deeper after assisting in coordination and guiding CENTREX Corp. to be at Mr. Dario Gullos farm in Sofronio Española, Palawan.

While doing their job (photo shooting and interview), I did mine too which is to document the event. While observing, I can’t help but to admire the team especially Ms. Joy Barcelon and Mr. Dexter Lansang, the photographers who took shots many times, again and again with sweat all over their body and insects biting them, rolling, hanging up, climbing.

They did not bother to stop until they got the single perfect picture. With fascination in my eyes, I was challenged to do the same in making documentation particularly in featured story. How do I make my subject real in the picture that I shoot? It came to my realization that really the heart of one’s story is a picture that says more, telling more stories.

I am so grateful that I met these guys who made me belong to the group during the activity by giving some assignments out of their tips to have one perfect photo. And surely what I have observed and learned on the three day photo shooting will be very useful to me and to the assignments I have now in the office.

Now, the song “picture can paint a thousand words” popularized by BREAD which happen to be one my favorite became more meaningful to me.
