“JRU in the Photographer’s Eyes”
Everyone nowadays take photos in different ways, each in their own perspectives, based on each and everyone’s personality. They express their feelings or emotions through each image that they took. We can share moments with everyone through posting Photos in social medias or through posting blogs. Pictures carries information about a place, thing, or a person.
I am Senior High School at Jose Rizal University. And as an individual, I also take photos in my own way.
This photo shows both an inside and outside part of the University. It also portrays the life of the people outside and the life of a student inside. We are imprisoned in a place for a a certain amount of time where we are obliged to attend classes that drives us insane. But on the brighter side, we are lucky to obtain much knowledge compare to the people outside who also spend most of their time with pollution and stress.
Another photo is a part of the University which is located in front of the Library just outside it’s door. It’s a great place to think and relax for most of the time it is empty. It is also a great place to practice your singing talent because your voice echos through the walls, just sayin’. But if I was a person who would like to get a great shot for his/her instagram feed or a photo as their display picture, I would say that this is a great place, with its classy look with the benches and glass window, which in some time of day could let you capture a silhouette shot depending on the angle of the sun. It’s also a great place to talk with that special someone.
Another place is the bridge to building M. For some people, it may look like just a normal passage to get to the other building. But if you look at it, it may show a whole new meaning to Photography. It shows a deep emotion due to the dark walls on the other end, while also giving light caused by the roof covering it. It’s a “senti” type of place for some, but just a simple bridge for few.
JRU is full of different places that may give you the urge to take photos because of the structure of the place or because of how great it serves as your background. But it’s not just the place that brings the Rizalian out of a Rizalian. The word “Rizalian” will not be invented if it wasn’t for the people that completes the University. For some people, a Rizalian may just be a student, a teacher, or a staff. But in the eyes of others, it is more.
These people makes a Rizalian a Rizalian. They may just be students, but if you’ll get to know them better, you’ll understand what a family truly means. Each of us has our own personality, culture, likes and dislikes, our own perspectives, talent, and beliefs. But through these differences, we could learn more how to socialize with different type of people. And learn more lessons regarding our life. These people can teach you more than you ever think.
