The Happiness Campaign : Canon Workshop

Its press freedom week and our teacher Mr. Ramirez invited us to attend the Photography Workshop: Framing The Story by Canon Camera and Aboitiz.Since i'am a frustrated photog, lol! I attended the workshop though it means that i need to wake up early. Twas all worth it cause i've learned alot. Its my first time to attend a workshop without getting bored, i find it very interesting. Because of the speakers iam very inspired to pursue my Photography Dream ♥
"photographers climb heaven and hell just to take good and relevant pictures" -Mr. Alex Badayos, Sunstar Photographer
this quote struck me most. i 've realized that photography is not all about taking pictures, its about putting your heart on it, its all about passion, its all about taking risks just to tell a story, to capture the moment or subject. I've also learned that photographers are visual reporters, they informed us people on whats happening through their photography shots.

with the Mr. Alberto Garcia, Canon Ambassador. My role model :D

One of the only bright spots of this catastrophic eruption is the worldwide recognition that Alberto Garcia’s dramatic photographs of the tragic events have garnered shortly thereafter. These include the following:

100 Best Pictures – National Geographic (Collector’s Edition Vol. 1)
Great Images of the 20^th Century – TIME
First Prize – World Press Photo Competition (Amsterdam)
Great Images of the Century – Asiaweek

After knowing his story, his journey, i'am very inspired, very, very teheeee :3. I want to follow his footsteps, wow! I want to be like him someday. Nothing, no one stops him from pursuing his dreams, from following his heart, from doing what he love :).
