Uuhhmmm...before i start...what the heck i'm doin'?
photojournalism at my age? dunno what is my future on this photography.

anyways...my father is a photojournalist since he was bachelor
and right now he is photo editor in one of tabloid newspaperin the philippines,
my sister once a university photojournalist
and today my daughter is also a photojournalists on her school...
and me...wanna be photojournalist.

kidding aside...
this photojournalism thing is something i can't resist,
i always envy the photog whose image occupy the front page of a newspaper,
i always admire the photog who captures the emotions and actions of a person...
occasionally (when invited) i shoot events and occasions, but i shoot them using
VR (Virtual Reality) Photography, i shoot peoples emotions, movements and
their unusual gestures.... which they call it an image story or story thru image
or photojournalism.

unconsciously...most of us (photographers) are having this distinct talent,
to shoot someone's emotions...not most of us...maybe filipino only.

why? 'coz we are all tsismoso and tsismosa, we will die if we can't
talk about something about him or her...lol...
sometimes if you look on your friends photo on a haggard looking...
you will crate a story out of it..."siguro katatapos lang"
or "siguro mahirap na siya kaya payat"...lol ulit

Photo Story... that's it...
telling a story thru image...
as a VR Photographer (my view) a single shot or still image cannot tell the full
story unlike on VR Images, you can view the image on full 360°view,
you capture the whole drama scene, the emotions and actions, 
you can feel the scene on every turn  of image... 
for me this is one of the powerful tool in photojournalism 
(hopefully on near future).
