I am never a fan of arts and photography until i officially became a photo staff of The La Sallian Publication (DLSU's english university paper). I had to learn multiple terms and their uses. My first photo assignment is to take a profile picture of one of the school athletes. I am not surprised to see a disappointed look from my editor when I asked the question, "How should the picture look like?". I felt really awkward asking him that question but I thought that I'd rather ask him earlier than give it a try and hear the words "Why didn't you ask me?" after submitting an unsatisfying photo. I do ask many questions and I often don't get his answers. But I always make it a point that when he asked me, I could give the right answer (which I have researched by the way). My photos are not always posted in the newspaper. In fact, I am being given many assignments but only a photo or two will pass his (my editor) standards. Giving much effort to be a good photo staff made me feel exhausted. I almost lose my concentration with studies and got more excited waiting for the result of the next newspaper layouts than the result of my exams. But soon, I learnt to balance everything and I've proven them that I can excel in both fields. My editor then thought that I am an asset to them which made me proud of myself. And now, I still am looking forward to being a well-known photographer someday but at the moment I am busy trying to alter my photos.
