Beyond The Lens

Earlier this morning, the Streetwalker PH had its 3rd  worldwide photowalk - an activity of which is being participated by all sort of photographers around the city. 

Photo from Mr. Buray's FB account


Being one with an eye for good photographs, and being a photojourn by duty (not the PRO you are thinking though , hahah!) ,  this activity has continuously piqued my interest only that for the previous years I failed in joining since I never had the time to do so. Luckily, this year it became possible as I have finally participated it through Mr. Almaclen Buray  together with  the members of our newly founded organization - Misamis Occidental Bloggers. Ahahaha! yeah you heard it right , we now have this group in the province. Check out our Fb Page for our recent posts and updates right here.

Yours truly , Mr. Buray , Ms. Mae , and our Baby Dolly

This year's Photowalk uses the (hashtag) #TRES which incorporates the power of "3"  straight forward or implied threes into the photographs and introduces or creates awesome relationships between elements  with or without people. 

I guess these are my best shots, but not the ones for winning. hehehe

<3

Early splash

May not be actually three, but I just kind of like this one. :)

However, this one is something which captured my entire being.



A simple spot and mundane people with an act expresses beyond any other words can say . An image which fails to showcase the photowalk's hashtag - #TRES. However , this simple yet strong image reminded me of three things: Contentment , Pure Bliss , and Love. :)

Here then, I've come to realize that a good photograph is not actually the one who takes the shot, nor the places as to where the shots are taken, and not even the subjects shown in the the photos. A good photograph is something beyond what the lens and the photographer can see. It is actually what the story behind the place, the subject and the photo that makes what a good photograph is. Above anything else, it is  something that feels so surreal both to the subject and the photographer, just as to what I have felt before and after taking the photo above. :)

Thank you for your time and keep posted! :)

FEB-IBIG : 16 is the New Valentine's Day and Pastel is the New Red

"So, I love you  because the universe conspired to help me find you." 


Exactly a year ago since I got to marry by best friend. Yeah, that explains today's blog's title. True, it's been a year now, how swift time flies yet I still haven't shared to you guys the photos of our wedding. Not even the planning was told. It's been a year, yet I only uploaded a few  of our wedding pictures in Facebook.  So to let you see a little snippet of it, here's our SDE Picture-Clip (Same-Day-Edit) by the very talented Foto Crime Lab Photography and Videography.


                                  

So for today, since the wedding anniversary celebration is yet to be published for the sole reason that the husband has not arrived yet, will be spilling to you some of the back stories of our wedding, the planning, the people involved, and of course the photographs. :)

But before I'll have to pour out myself into expeditious story telling , I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people who have helped "the husband"  and I brought to life the wedding that was only born in our minds, for giving life to what we only have as just plain concept. See post here. 

As I was growing, I never really had any idea as to wast my "dream wedding" would be. What I dreamed was to be married happily to the one God has prepared to be with me. I guess having no ideal and dream wedding in mind helped me a lot as when we were in the preparation part, what my personality and the things I love were integrated in to the  kind of theme the husband and I pictured out.

Being able to read most of my posts, you can right away say by now that I am very much fond of books an vintage-gy kinds of things, add to it the husband's love to travel, we , actually love to travels , thus explains our prenuptial shoot, see here

Hence, we ended up with a vintage-travel-with-a-touch-of-pastel-colors-garnished-with-the-love-of-books themed wedding. hahahah!  And because we were married a couple of days after theValentine's day, so you got to know by now the reason of our title for this post.


So here are the wedding details:


The Travel-Themed Invites + The Pastel Bouquet

My Shoes + The Invites + my Bouquet + Cord + Boutonniere
