Painting With Light

I use a professional camera but I'm not a professional.

My need to learn photography came when I noticed that no one in particular was covering our numerous church events. I borrowed a small compact film camera and took pictures which I later mounted at the church bulletin board. In college, I bought my own Kodak compact and regularly covered church and family events.

Decades later, I'm still learning and joining photo contests although I seldom win.

During my Aunt Yoly's visit from the USA, we watched You, Me and Dupree at SM City The Block's cinema. At the same time, there was a rare vintage car exhibit. I used a borrowed Kodak CX 4310 digital compact camera for this.

Due to the success of the first photography contest, the bank decided to have another one. This time, since it was 1998, the theme would be the Philippine Centennial.

This was the first I used a Canon EOS film SLR. Before that, I only saw it on magazines or in shops. In about 24 hours, I had to familiarize myself with an SLR that was one of the best at that time.
