Ateneo de Naga University President Fr. Joel E. Tabora, SJ, pleased with the tremendous success of "Kasalogan," promised to sponsor a photography contest among students, faculty and staff of the university. Watch out for it! Gear up for a shoot!

'Kasalogan' In Business Mirror

A long time friend Tito G. Valiente of the Japanese Studies Program of the Ateneo de Manila University and Department of Social Sciences, Ateneo de Naga University, was one of the early viewers of the photo exhibit. Here's a link to his review of "Kasalogan" published in Business Mirror.

‘Kasalogan’ : Contemplating the Rivers in Us

From Some Students Behind "Kasalogan"

An gabos na kahapotan na naitao mi sa lambang saro giraray natawan nin kasimbagan kan nakua mi na tawan nin buhay an mapusaw na kolor kan salog. Sa haros limang bulan na pag-adal nin manlaen-laen na katukduan sa potograpiya, nahiling mi na bako sana an orag kan kamerang gamit saka kan gayon kan lugar mahihiling an kagayonan kan sarong ritrato. Mas dakulang porsyento an tiyaga asin pagpursigi kan tawo para makakua nin ritrato na magayon asin pano nin kahulugan. Dawa ngani masasabing napoon pa sana kami asin an primerong kaaraman pa sana an samuyang inaradalan, dai ini nagpugol sa obheto ming makapahiling nin malaman asin marhay na ladawan kan salog.

The shoots were tiring but indeed challenging; most of the time frustrating. But patience, determinism, and perseverance would later on bear fruit. What I learned the whole semester is that a photographer is not just a photographer. S/he is a person of hardwork and attitude like all other professionals. The task is not simply taking pictures; it is capturing life. What creates impact to people are the photographs of the things we most of the time fail to notice--like the Bikol River. The Kasalogan experience really moved me.

Rivers are never unusual to me. I typically just look at them each time. I consider them ordinary until I took the challenge. Having captured wonderful pictures of the river made me realize that this body of water is still full of life--breathing its lovely existence. Indeed, photography makes you see the world rather than just look at it.

Shooting black-and-white photos is a big challenge for a photographer. No colors to rely on, just great composition skills. I instantaneosly freaked out when it was announced that this year's Streaks of Light was going to be in black-and-white. I wasn't even confident with my skills in shooting photos in color yet and here comes monochrome. I was excited. I could tell. But I was more of afraid, more so when the subject was announced. We were to shoot activities in the Naga River. I first thought, "What is there to shoot? Murky waters? Lillies? Floating garbage?" That totally blew my excitement away.

'Kasalogan' Images

Sinasabing an pagrawitdawit katakod sa buhay kan mga parasira, sinda na mga parabanwit kan salog. Sa katoninongan kan paghalat na may madakop, yaon an rawitdawit: sa ngimot man kan sira o sa daing laog na sima. Ini man an nahiling asin padagos kong pinaghihiling sa mga retratong ini na nagtataong pagrokyaw sa salog na biko-biko. May mga rawitdawit digdi, la'bas, may langsa, may hamis sa tab'ang, may buhay, may dai magadan-gadan.
