Of all the things I want to do outside if I have with me a set of camera and guts is to take pictures and see the life of others within my viewfinder. I love travel and I love dealing with people – people that most might think ordinary ones doing ordinary things. But there are things that most people don’t really see that makes ordinary people extraordinary.

Aside from landscape, these are the areas that I want to do – street and travel photography.

What makes street and travel photography so special? Aside from the fact that these areas don’t normally require the subjects to pose for the photographer nor requires highly technical setups, there’s only thing you must capture in these areas – MOMENT. And it makes you contemplate on a lot of things when you already captured the moment, a lot of titles to think, a lot of extraordinary meaning to find out, a lot of definition to encapsulate with the photo and most of all, a lot of lessons to dig so that people who will be seeing the photo can be touched too. For sure, that’s how I see those things.

Photos taken for this course makes you think how simple life can be, how fortunate you are and how you should be thankful of what you are, how happy they are inspite of life issues and unfortunate events in their lives, how they feel that time, how you are able to relate to them and many reasons to iterate. In short, it’s a course of how it affects you.

There are a lot of reasons to think why people are into photography. Nevertheless, what makes a photographer sensible and blissful is because he sees whatever he sees in a viewfinder beyond the concept of art and technicalities – that what he sees is life and from there, something rational and valuable should be drawn not just to affect his own life, but to contribute positive change to others. I think that makes sense.
