FUN AT PHOTOWALK

The Photoville International held a photowalk last September 20, 2013 together with the students of La Verdad Christian College, MCT-2B. It started as early as 8:00 in the morning in the vicinity of Maynila. The founder of this activity is Mr. Dominic Meily and he is also the president of the organization.

The real purpose of this event is to practice the students on how to capture a great picture along the streets. With the knowledge that we gained from our class sessions and photography seminars, we were able to determine a good shot. We were also guided by our instructor, Mr. Dominic and the other members of Photoville International.

Before we started the Photowalk, a little briefing was made. After that, we were divided into five to six groups. Each group has a leader. Mr. Dominic made sure that everyone understand the purpose of this event and everyone will have fun.

I was belong to the group of team Bag-yo, headed by Mr. Dominic. Before we started taking photos, we ate bananacue first. The first photo that was took by our group was the portrait of the old man who is selling candies and cigarettes on the sidewalk. Our leader told us that the old man is one of his favorite subject. We went along the underpass and I found a big picture of leaf. He positioned Mean on the right side of it because she wore a green jacket. I thought this is a good a subject. So, I made my first shot.

We entered Intramuros and took pictures everywhere. My favorite subject is the intersection of the path and the S-shape of it. We walked and we captured photos. We also have our own portraits. It was really fun.

When we reached the wall with a beautiful graffiti, our group made a jump shot. Mr. Dominic joined us. A very long walk made my stomach cry. It was a good thing that he invited us to have some lunch in one of the restaurant in Maynila. I forgot the name. That restaurant also served as the meeting place of all the groups. We ate and shared stories together.

After our lunch break, we continued our activity. A long hours have passed and the time to say goodbye has come. But before that, the best part happened. We had a group picture at the Baywalk. We had jump shots and wacky shots.

It was a very long day for me. Thanks to Mr. Dominic and to team Bag-yo. I really enjoyed and had so much fun.
