the RED TAPE

Even children could be affected by this disease called "red tape". This picture is the winner of the first Europe-Asia online-competition "Freedom of Young Media"

This came to a surprise.

Who would have thought that one of my Photojournalism students made the entire PUP community proud.

I was in a faculty meeting yesterday and one of the professors who attended the meeting was reading a newsletter pertaining to an award winning photo from a competition. I was really not paying too much attention then because we just wrapped up the meeting and everyone was getting ready to go home. But the familiar name that she blurted out that took the award winning photo grabbed my attention. It was from BBrC 3-2D. It was taken by Ocaña.

You just hit it big time, dude! You just made your parents proud. You just added another milestone to COC. You simply gave your classmates good reasons to be proud of you. You gave the COC faculty another chance to wear that big, happy smile.

Let this be an inspiration to everyone who really wants to pursue a career in photography. Or better yet, have this as your other venue in releasing stress and multiplying your creativity at the same time.

I know that everyone is as creative as everyone else in the class. It is just a matter of putting your heart with you are doing.

This is really your life through the lens.
