Although I started shooting when I got my very first camera phone, which wasn’t long ago, I call myself a noob when it comes to photography. People might be having a second thought of following “a photographer” to my name, but I am braved enough to say that it is the path that I want to follow through.
I am a noob and I am obsessive in taking photos, like I took the photo above and one hundred more (no, I’m joking) while I was standing in the middle of the rain.
I stopped before somebody notices me and horrifically charging me the invasion of their privacy.
I am a noob, that’s why I am jumping with joy when somebody appreciates and gives high regards of my photos.
I am also in static when a person will ask me for tips on how to get good photos or where to start. What will I say?
I said:
- Photography is subjective, it is how you see it and don’t depend on how other will say, for a start believes in yourself and others will believe in you.
- You take pictures that not say that you were there; you take pictures that tell stories.
- Start seeing, imagine and then create. Those are the three that explain what photography is.
- Never stop taking pictures. In a thousand of photos, you’ll get yourself a hundred that you will surely like.
- And last but not the least, READ YOUR MANUAL, make it your reference.
- And there is a million of tips that I, myself, needs to learn.

Last Friday I attended my very first “informal” photography class. It was just a three hour DLSR basic class on taking photography on the next level. Whilst the instructor discussed only the three semi-auto modes and left manual mode behind, it was quite interesting, nonetheless.
Even I shoot in manual mode; there are some topics that make the class so absorbing like locking the auto exposure to get that dramatic light that you’ve been imagining in your photo without sacrificing the ISO.
He just emphasized that I should be reading my camera’s manual, shoot more, imagine more and create more.
He is such an inspiring guy who encouraged all the four of us to get serious in the craft and enroll in continues learning if we can. To which I already planned.

This is going to be fun, I decided to make my Yashica posts a weekly activity, that is if I don’t get short of fund. I hope I won’t and I hope somebody could buy me a coffee too since this blog is not generating any income to support this hobby.

My first attempt to digital scrapping, do you think I’ve got talent? After creating my bobang pinay blog, I’m up to make another blog which deals with digital scrapping and photography. I even bought a software that is highly recommended for digital scrapping.
I’ve been to Michael’s last week after my exam for licensing for new driver. Oh! Did I say new driver?
Yes of course, I’ve been very vocal that I really need to learn how to drive and I am glad that I made it to the exam in one taking.
So, I’ve been to Michael’s, the arts and crafts store and bought myself a cross stitch materials. I started cross stitching again after more than a decade and it feels good to be surrounded by threads, cloth and needles again.
I saw some beading materials also and it seems inviting, since I am into wearing fashion jewelries it’s about time, I guess for me to learn the art of beading too.
Digital scrapping, photography, cross stitching and beadings, isn’t it obvious that I am tired of being “boba”. Yeah, I want to know if I got talent too.

Is my site ready yet? I’ve been refreshing my site for an hour, I am in the mood for making a post today when I realized that I was like ditched by this miserable site in the middle of the long winding road.
It’s been a week since Entrecard launched their magic toolbar and I was in awed because I figured that it will help me to get more drops than usual. I’ve been goaling to get 300 drops a day but my long working days don’t allow me to do so. It is even cutting me to post regularly.
11 to 13 hours work daily, depends on what time I want to go downto my room, there is nothing much to blog actually. And I don’t have that much knowledge on everything around me, all you see here is nothing but whining and drooling over something I want to do but I cannot do or I am refusing to do.
Yesterday I received a call from Winghill Writing School, it is an online school for writing. I said before that I want to learn creative writing, I don’t want to just blog about something and earn a little. Alright, I am making myself stupid here.
