"Perfect shots almost make me believe that the celebrity is indeed enchanting. But it never convinced me that he/she uses the same product advertised. Behind the cheerful smile of Kris Aquino in her pasta commercial is a good pay. And so are the rest."
I dream to have the hobby photography. I am a fan of how photographs keeps the smiles, friendship, love, and fun in different scenes.
On a training on photo journalism I attended years ago, I have learned that the most beautiful pictures are those that are taken naturally. I mean, those which subjects project the natural scene. Children chasing each other on a patintero game, students on a rush at the canteen on recess, butterfly landing on a flower, etc.
Indeed these kind of pictures possess not only the wonder of its subject, but lets the viewer feel the joy, sorrow, serenity,love as the subjects feel as the picture is captured.
I believe the most beautiful pictures are unplanned. They are those who touches the heart, and relates to the emotions.
What annoys me is the current trend of picture taking, "Say Cheese", "Profile Pic" "Moment". Pictures choreographed for the sake of posting them into social networking sites and letting the world know-"Hey! we are having fun", "Hey! What good friendship we have", "Hey! I got this fantastic experience".
These type of pictures does not impress me at all. It annoys me to the bones.
Quite ironic how I have to go with the flow at times. I pose at pictures with some friends, whom I know poses are choreographed-all for the sake of pakikisama.
None of these gave me real cheer. In fact, it gave me that pretentious feeling-a little shame in the bucket.
There are a very few pose pictures which contains emotions. The rest are choreographed. In this case, pictures at times may have kept the location and time, but not the memories. One may have 5thousand pictures, but maybe just a hundred are captured for real.
How social media has changed the value of pictures is a sad thing, really.
