Nature

This picture showed the nature; sea, mountains, and the sky of Batangas and was captured during 2021st. My relatives and I were on the way to my father's grave here and when the time we thought that we were getting near and we needed to take a rest, we found a great view just side by the road and stopped there. Which is the place where I captured the photo. As you see in the photo, the reason I took was because of that time, I felt happy as I got a chance to meet my relatives, most of that was to see my father's grave. I felt the cold breeze as we watched the sun slowly go as the night surrounded us. I took the photo as a memory because it was also my family's last day with relatives and thinking that that day was memorable and not might happen again.

Macro

My macro photography is all about the bee and the flower and the reason is because bees are important in our lives, they help plants make fruit and seeds by moving pollen around. But Bees are having a tough time right now. They're losing their homes because of cities and farms taking over their habitats, and they're getting sick from pesticides and diseases. That's bad news because, without bees, we wouldn't have much of the food we love to eat, like apples, almonds, and berries. To help bees, we need to protect their homes by planting lots of flowers for them to eat and making sure we use fewer harmful chemicals on our plants. Learning more about bees and teaching others why they're so important is also important. By working together to care for bees, we can ensure they stick around to keep helping us and our planet.

Photojournalism

In this, the picture was about a young man, Desmond Doss, who applied to the military and served as a combat medic during World War II, but, refused to carry a weapon due to his religious beliefs. I believe that this photo is great to choose as it is also a great movie. The reason why I chose this is because it shows how kind Desmond is to others, even though there is a scene where they hurt him as they mock him because of his beliefs and say he might die for not using a weapon in the battle. On the day they climb the cliff to fight the Japanese, his role as a combat medic becomes important to help the others because of getting hurt during the war. That is also the reason why the people who mock him apologize because of their attitude. He earned the respect of his fellow soldiers for his bravery and selflessness during the Battle of Okinawa, where he saved the lives of 75 men without firing a single shot. The original photo of Desmond Doss is in the right corner and the left corner is the one that portrayed him.

Travel

While I was traveling to Baguio to visit my cousins there because we hadn't seen each other in a long time, and it is common for me to visit them at least 3 times a year. We were walking in SLU and seeing the buildings there, this building caught my attention and when I asked one of my cousins what the building was this, she told me that it was a library of St. Louis University called The Msgr. Charles Vath Library, and considered the main library of SLU. It was donated by the Zentralstelle fur Entwicklungshilfe of the Federal Republic of Germany and De Rance, Inc. of the United States. With a 6-story building, the building towering over the other buildings of SLU, it is said that the building resembles the heart of the early CICM fathers and sisters who gave the people of the Cordillera and Northern Luzon quality Catholic education. The building is located in the SLU Main Campus, Bonifacio Street.

This photo was taken during my resting days. While I am watching an anime in my room in a night day, my cat, which is Haiwei (Highway), was on the floor of my room, jump to my table to face my laptop doing his best to get my attention. With that, I was going to take a picture of him facing my laptop and by the time I click the capture button, I didn’t realize that he immediately faced with me. This cat is our last cat, and the reason why his name is that because, my sister gets him along the highway of 7- Eleven in Muñoz. In the picture, that is my everyday life when I am using my laptop, my cats will go in front of my laptop.
