And So Life Moves On…

Wow! This is one of my longest hiatus on this blog. It’s been around 5 months that this one stayed idle and no new update.

I was in between “full-time” jobs the last couple of months but am glad it isn’t so anymore. I am not one of those of the displaced workforce due to recession. I have to give myself credit to foresee the going ons in the industry that I’d first lose my job without choice. My former co-workers suffered the fate of being forced to go home after their VISA expired with their job contracts terminated. It was my personal decision to leave and take the time to rest for a while from the rush of working in the enterprise. It’s a crazy world…everybody knows that. I direct myself with all my free time to explore my joy and passion – photography.

Since I came back from overseas work, I’d been busy with studying the intricacies of the art of photography. With the help of my “sensei” Jo Avila, I attended his classes and joined volunteer-assistant assignments for his photoshoots. What I’ve been doing on a DIY basis experimentation he can teach in five (5) sessions with tenfolds more tips and tricks. I’m into his Advanced Photography class and we’ll have our last session by months end. The 4 sessions we had had boatloads of ideas I can play with. The possibilities are even more endless now with all the lighting discussions I had with a group of fellow photographers. That should keep me from burning out from work and have the satisfaction from shooting photos as stress relievers.

So where do I go from here?

I’d have a full-time day job to fund my needs for photography. Do some more experimentation and probably assignments on the side. I’d like it to be a sustainable hobby (or job!) soon.
