1994 - BEYOND!

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

May 1, 2009

 

Jomer, our technical trainer took this picture and the camera is owned by Penny one of our technical leads here.

When I was in my third year high-school, we had this subject called Journalism. I’m really not into this subject until I became the Photo Journalist of our editorial staff. Right Darcee? As far as I can remember, I was the one who volunteered to have this post or maybe not. But I volunteered not because I’m into taking pictures, but because tasks in this position are, somehow, too light to handle. Did I say that right? Haha. I admit, I like taking photos eversince I first held a camera but taking a step further on this matter is a “NO” for me, but I had no choice. I mean, it’s not that I don’t find it too exciting or fun to do, but I just don’t think I‘ll be good at it.

 

My father owned 2 SLR film cameras that time. So I just borrowed his Pentax MZ-7. And it was only me and Lyko who are using SLR film cameras. We took so many pictures, different angles, different people, inside the school gate, outside the school gate. We need to compile those pictures in a white cartolina and have our teachers judge it or should I say grade it. Surprisingly, my work was chosen as one of the best. Batchmates, please tell me you remember this. Sinabit pa nga yung mga napili sa labas ng classroom eh. Dun sa baba na malapit sa canteen. Hahaha. And oh, I was replaced by my editor-in-chief after that. Wala daw kasi akong ginawa masyado. 

 

 

Just yesterday, upon holding that camera I knew I can take another great shot for beginners and dumb users like me. And I did! Then my interest on this further escalated and the urge of buying one soon, is haunting me. I’d rather have a point-and-shoot type of camera first before buying D-SLR cameras. For now, makikigamit muna ako

My manager then told me na may potential daw ako. I just smiled. Will post some of the pictures I took next time.
