12 Photographs for Study

By Dr Abe V Rotor and Marlo R Rotor

"Creative photography emphasizes artistic expression and personal vision, more than just documenting reality. It makes use of techniques and elements over and above standard and conventional photography in order to create unique and expressive images - and quite often, "lucky" shots delighting both photographer and viewer." 

Siesta by a wall mural of nature, Lagro QC

While away time in rest and leisure,

and enjoy life's greatest pleasure.

 Kissing a parrot on a mural, Lagro QC 

How tame these parrots are on the wall,

longing for a guardian after the Fall.

Twin waterfalls, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte

Twin waterfalls roar and tumble,

make man feel meek and humble.

An errand girl walks by a carabao herd, Muñoz NE

Look! An errand girl braves the stream; 

to us grownups this is but a dream. 

Mackie: A Little Miss

A little miss poses in leisure and beauty, 

keyhole view of a promising lady. 

Building sandcastles. Morong, Rizal

Sandcastles - symbol of lofty dreams,

  duo building a common one it seems

Grandmother and grandchildren, Iba, Zambales

Grandchildren under their Lola's care,

 as their parents are busy working,

in the fine tradition of Filipino culture:

TLC - tender loving and caring.  

 Kalumpang tree, Tandang Sora QC

"A tree is a joy forever."

so with childhood ever.

On the beach, a wall mural. San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

Bring home the sea if you can't go to her,

in a make believe scene together. 

Bacarra belfry, Ilocos Norte

Ruins of colonial past speak softly,

ours is now a free country. 

Summer in a bathtub, San Vicente (Ilocos Sur)

A bathtub into a boat, a spaceship - it may seem,

as years shall take these kids to reach their dream.

Go over your files and select your "masterpieces," organize them into an album, better yet, as a manuscript for direct viewing or publication. Share in school, community, or through the Internet. ~
