Arlene Pasaol Donaire, whose photo above won 9th Place, is a new entrant to the FPPF PhotoWorld Cup competition. A product of the FPPF Cebu photography workshops this year, Arlene joined the FPPF-affiliated Ayala Alabang Camera Club just recently.
Arlene wrote on her Facebook blog:
“The day I ‘stood out from the crowd’ felt good.
I have just placed 9th in a national photo contest that draws entries from among the camera clubs of Metro Manila and other parts of the country.
No big deal one might say, it’s just 9th place in the “top ten list”. It’s okay and I admit it’s really not a major award. But then again, it’s a good bump in my otherwise quiet year so far. What it has done for me is inspire me to improve more and more.
I started my photography hobby in late 2008, to fulfill my desire to end that memorable year with a new drive and passion for life. Photography has since opened my eyes to the more sublime beauty beneath the humdrum of daily sights and events. Life is good, every moment of it…no matter what. God’s canvass is everywhere and in everything.
This was my winning entry, shot during the 2010 Sinulog. The crowd that gathered that Sunday in January came from all walks of life and their faces depict the plethora of emotions evoked by the grandeur of the sinulog street dancing. The little girl, in my eye, was more eye catching than the dancers on the streets. Check out my albums for my 2010 sinulog pictures too.”
