Donut Day

Went to Gonuts Donuts for a late snack. I had Krispy Kreme earlier that day. No photos of KK though.

Love Makes The Kitchen Go Round

Just sharing some photos I took at home.

Making vs Taking

On my way home today, I heard a man saying "Maganda yung pics nya. Pero kaya ko rin yung ganoong kuha. Madali lang 'yun." Emphasis on kuha.

When you push the shutter release button on your camera, how do you normally call the act? Majority calls it taking a picture, like the man I heard earlier. But for me, I like to call it making a picture.

I believe that photographers are makers as opposed to takers. There is a huge difference between the two, obviously. For me, the difference lies in the thought process just before the button is pressed. Taking is like a greedy process of acquiring something without exerting effort. Making, on the other hand, involves the photographer's thought on how to capture what can be seen. Simply put, there is an effort involved.

Next time you see a photographer press that shutter release button, remember that a lot of thought and pre-visualization has been put into that image to look like that.
