ahhhhh photography...

'tis such a tremendous time really to be alive. the generic cams and other mechanisms that we have today now allows you to take pictures 'til you drop on anything that fancies your eyes. and as an art instructor, just put an art to it i may recap, to make it appealing, and well--interesting. these pictures are taken using my new--
GE(General Electric. nope, not a ref, nor iron..but a digi cam) A730 7.0megapixel about a $100.00 on plastic card.

and my jaw drops when i see my art students armed with their power dslr cams in matching zoom lens,and other where-the h**l-didja-get-that-n-the-moolah paraphernalias. nikon, canon, olympus, well mine's a G.E period.

i had the chance to survey up-close this interesting half mini-amphitheater within the university where i work. finished about 2-3 years ago, i just pass by it at a glance, everyday.
i pitched in for an absent colleague and handled her 5 hr. drawing class, thus 
giving me enough time to appreciate and capture these wonderful, early morning scenes.

some few things that really caught my attention on the details of this structure
that left me with such a wonderment:

-there are clean,tidy,dressing room compartments with 2 huge mirrors, light bulbs around it, on the left and right wing.
-at the center inside the dressing room, is a tree encased by a wall cement.
 with enough space, to let it breathe, and let her branches and leaves
 spread high and proud towards the balcony.
 the architect never cut the tree! they preserved it, and let it adorn the  
 stage instead. 
-the side walls by the stage exhibits the relief images, depicting
 popular images that represents philippine culture and arts
-if you sit on one of those cemented benches, you see and feel the beauty of the
 trees that surrounds you.
-lights of varying colours are ready for evening performances
-a balcony is ready for any re-enactments ala "romeo and juliet"
-the amazing strength of the university's alumnae associations evident on the benches inscripted with,"donated by".
-and, the two lovely qoutes pegged on the trees


          shine on !
