beyond ordinary things

traveled place:  Villareal and Talalora, Samar

in this trip,  i tried to observe the quote by Morley Baer, “Quit trying to find beautiful objects to photograph. Find the ordinary objects so you can transform it by photographing it.”

Almost always, if we go to someplace, we look for exciting or beautiful scenes in order to get ‘great shots’. but how about if the place offers nothing of your expectation?  The challenge is, take everyday objects or ordinary scenes and transform them into something special… and along the way, it will allow us to see ‘ordinary’ things in a new different way.

some of my attempts…

there is nothing more challenging for us photographers to have a pictorial session while we feel burn-out, having heavy colds, cough and aching muscles. this was my condition last sunday. tried to manage to inspire myself by clicking the shutter here, there and everywhere for i need to pump my adrenaline before the actual pictorial session starts. honestly, i feel like am facing a ‘blank frame’ at the start, but with few clicks, i seem to fall into my ‘zone’ and slowly pictures are coming into the ‘blank frame’. now, if you’ll ask me how to explain this ‘process’, my answer is ‘i don’t really know’… maybe it is just about taking time, catch breath and take in the view around, and above all have fun in creating images in our own unique way.
