October is coming. This is the time when medical students come rushing on school papers and finals before they can take on the stage and claim to be a graduate. Aside from paying additional school expenses, completing forms, baccalaureate, and other stuff, one of the best things students want is to have their graduation pictures taken. This becomes their memorabilia of sleepless nights memorizing all the body parts, medicines, etc.
After a year of the one and only digital photography class that I took, I still have not gotten myself to look into the videos that I recorded during our class. Armed with a brand new, albeit entry level dslr, I was eager to learn and shoot. With all the things that I do on a daily basis, I kind of slacked a bit, okay a heap, on this photography thingy.
Before digital imaging hcame, we were all freely snapping our shutters away. Snapshots make for a huge collection of a family’s memorabilia. Although everyone will agree with me when I say that a snapshot’s quality may not be as good as that of a thought of and well-composed portrait. Portraiture requires effort, snapshots don’t. That’s the bottomline.
