The So-called LIFE

Last year, I wanted to attend photography workshop but I wasn’t able to go because of my hectic schedule (naks!). Now, I’m really decided to pursue this new found hobby and hopefully will lead to a new career someday.

It’s been almost a year now since I got my Nikon D90. I used it most on my heavy sched adventures last year. After months of using it, I realized there’s something missing with my photos and I want to improve it this year.

I wanted my portrait photos to have more life. And my landscapes to be more interesting. Learning by myself is not enough.

So I searched the internet for the best Photography workshop and almost end up with Jo Avila. But his seminar schedule is not convenient for me. I can’t attend his workshop on a weekdays as I have work at night. His Saturday sessions will start on April 17 but I can’t wait that long. I just have this feeling that I need to start right now.

As I continue searching the net, I found the one that’s very interesting. I found the “Purpose Driven Photographer“. I like their programs from weeks 1 to 7. For only Php 5,000.00, that’s very cheap for what they offer.
