Photography Graduation
Just yesterday, I officially "graduated" from my Basic Photography class under Mr. Jo Avila.
About Jo Avila, this guy is galeng! Most photography mentors produce contest winners. Jo Avila produces money-making photographers with good names to carry. Hope I go on and become one of those money-making ones. Not only does he teach the science of photography, he teaches the art.
It was a tiring class, it being from supposedly 6:30 to 9:30 pm but sometimes lasting til 12:00 am. And it's not fun being the only girl. I can't relate to any of them. But I feel fulfilled. It's been something I've been wanting to do for a long time. People tell me I have the eye for it, but this class showed me that there was still a whole lot of room for improvement. Although, yes, not to be yabang or anything, compared to all of my "rich" classmates with cool DLSRs, I, with my film-based Zenit SLR and point & shoot digital produced better shots and better feedback. So I guess having the eye is better than having the camera.
I'm happy that it's all done. I can continue to shoot without having to worry about burning my homework in a CD. Although I do admit I will miss some of my classmates. We shared the same oohs and ahs while learning the tricks and "pasikot-sikots" of Photoshop.
