Today will be the first day of the workshop that I enrolled myself in, Documentary Photography: An Introduction for Photojournalist. It's been a while since I joined a workshop and Documentary Photography is something that I've always wanted to get myself into. I've always wanted to be a photojournalist but for some reason or another I never really actually try to be one. Well I hope this would be the icebreaker so I can start my quest into hopefully someday becoming a photojournalist.
And oh, here are some pictures I've taken way back. I call these series "faces in the crowd". It was taken during Pres. Cory's funeral and it was special to me because it was my first time shooting something like this. Although i got only a few pics of the actual funeral procession as the security was tight and a lot of people came. I got this series out of it. Enjoy!
My teacher once told me, "A good photograph should tell a story and convey emotions." The moment i heard that my perspective of photography was changed. And my then interest in photojournalism increased. I started from just shooting pictures to shooting stories.
