NOVEMBER ONE IMAGES

Here in the Philippines, we commemorate the souls of the faithful departed and people visit there loved ones and spend a day or two with them.

And by commemorating, we Filipinos spend a lot of effort to make this day extra special.

We clean and adorn the peaceful place of  our loved ones who have joined God in heaven.

And we never fail to light up a candle and pray for them….

And we seek help from other people to help and join us in praying….

After the prayer, we also share our time and effort to visit some of our friends who also joined our Creator.

While walking around the cemetery, you can also notice that some children are selling some candles  just to earn some money.

While the more fortunate ones are playing..

I Shot A Nurse!

A friend of mine wanted to get a portrait of her on her uniform.

I don’t know but I think this is indirectly a campaign for the growing number of unemployed nurses here in the Philippines.

I think this sends a message to be happy even if we are jobless.

Enjoy!

Just Another Head Shot Session with Friends

Some of my friends decided to come over my place and get a head shot session.

It was 8pm last night and obviously it’s dark.

I managed to get some head shots using an improvised lighting device.

Here are some of the pictures.

Enjoy!

Low Key Photography

I have always been captivated when I see a low key photo.

It seems as if it’s giving us the hassle of making us think of what the meaning of the photo is.

It’s filled with mystery.

I made this photo for my girlfriend’s mini blog.

You can follow her through.

And by the way, she’s the one who posed.

PHOTOGRAPHY

It’s been two weeks since I finally bought a new camera and I’m stoked about improving my photography skills.

I have recently decided to start shooting HEADS!

I mean head shots or portraits.

I guess I ‘m doing good so far.

Thanks to all those who shared their time and talents.

PHOTO FOR THE FRO

I’ve been sleepless for the past couple of days and I’m very excited since my new camera is about to arrive.
I have joined an online photography class/tutorials community from froknowsphoto.com
It’s a very helpful site for all kinds of photographers. (I think)
Here’s what I did for this week’s edit.
Hope you guys like it.

MARIKO

Mariko posed for me and flaunts her necklace.

I took her picture using Nokia 5800 Xpress Music.

I love the edit.

Looks like a four-season.

FIVE-MINUTE PHOTO CHALLENGE

Been bored inside my room and I was cooking rice for lunch. While waiting, I got so bored and went outside.

I saw a wooden bed being repaired and my doorknob.

I remember Gavin Hoey’s 15-minute photo challenge where he could produce great images out of ordinary setting or structure.

I pulled my cellphone and walla!!

I never thought I could make this kind of pics.

It’s the every little details in life that we often ignore that makes art.

I remember Ansel Adams’ quote,

“It’s not about the camera, it’s the 12 inches behind it.”

I hope you like my photos.

I would also hope that this sends a message to all photo enthusiasts out there.

Not all the time that we need DSLRs for us to get a good photo.

The best camera is the brain that perceives something or anything to be a form of art.

PEACE and LOVE!

NURSING IN THE PHILIPPINES

“Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on the care of individuals, families and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life from conception to death.”

That definition above is from wikipedia.

If I were to give a definition to nursing, I think my words would sway a little bit.

Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on attaining working experience just to be called “competent”, yet still the professional is left unemployed.

Nursing is the only profession where the professional is the one paying the institution just to practice his/her profession.

Nursing is more of an aptitude of being a call center agent.

Nursing, among all the healthcare professions, is the only profession where you could experience a doctor yelling 1 inch from your face just because you made a simple mistake.

Nursing makes up the majority of unemployed professionals.

Nurses are those professionals who even if they already have a job, still they can’t consider themselves financially stable.

A friend of mine once posted about nursing on his facebook status.

“Nurses are being scorned for being late with meds, yet they are holding their bladder because they don’t have time to use the restroom, starving because they missed lunch, being peed on, puked on, bled on, beat on & are missing their family while taking care of yours. In the minute you read this, nurses all over the world are saving lives.”

I just hope that employment and respect would greatly be given to nurses.

I’ve been a nurse for 5 years.

I had a couple of working experience.

I’m proud of my profession.

I am a NURSE.
