| Neri Villanueva O: who recruited you to join the club? N: leo pumanes recruited me to kameradare after i took the basic photography seminar he conducted at philcite. O: what was your most unforgettable experience with kameradare? N: both unforgettable & embarrassing! we were asked to submit our photographs & then draw lots as to who gets whose photos. i misunderstood the instruction & submitted a photograph of myself. romy magud got my portrait & everytime i see him, i am reminded of that incident. diyahe talaga! O: as a matter of fact, there's a story of that "sidelights" which kitty documented. do you still try to keep up with the latest topics in photography? N: the art of photography has grown by leaps & bounds. it is hard to keep up with it. today, the emphasis is on the technical aspect & there is no limit to what you can do to a photograph provided you have the equipment & the imagination. it is very different to my concept where the beauty of the photograph depends on the person behind the camera. O: name one member that you believe has influenced you the most in photography & why? N: no one person influenced me the most but every member has been instrumental in furthering my knowledge in photography, their mistakes & kudos both. O: what has been your motto in life? N: enjoy what we can & endure what we must - goethe O: can you give us 1 photo tip? N: be aware of light. look at the shadows it produces, the quality of softness or hardness & then decide just what it is you want. |
