HOT SPOT : TEAR CORDEZ
Sabi nga nila walang lahat ng bagay natututunan lalo na kung meron kang passion na gawin ito at sigurado malayo ang mararating mo, isa sa hinahangan ko sa mundo ng street photography si Tear Cordez na parang kailan lamang kami nagkakilala dahil sa isang photography group sa facebook at isa sa mga nagustuhang kung mga kuhang larawan niya ang temang larong kalye kung saan bihira na lamang ang mga bata na gumawa nito lalo't pa ngayon na uso na ang mg Ipod, smartphone o iba pang katulad nito. Kaya naman hindi ko maiwasan na sabihin sa kanya na ang ganda ng mga tirada niya sa bawat pagpitik ng kamera kaya naman naisip ko bakit hindi ko bigyan ng espasyo ang isang Tear Cordez. Gayung alam ko sa darating na panahon masasabi kung, ui magaling yan hindi lamang sa paghawak ng kamera pati sa pagbuo ng isang magandang konsepto.
Tara samahan mo akong kilalanin pa ng husto si Tear Cordez sa kanyang mundong magulo ngunit puno ng kwento.

My recent shot is a father and son, repairing something while walking i actually pass them by, and then i step back, hold my phone and take a snap, as the thought strikes me that it's a good visual of how a kid can be so curious, this shots shows everyone or every moment can be a subject of photography.

The pros and cons, well this is bit hard, pros, well you will learn a lot and see things in a different light when you became a photographer, you will became more patience and learn to observed well, you will also gain a lot of respect from peers when your a photographer, i don't know people outside photography see us as something great, the cons well besides of getting the right gear everything in photography is expensive, this is not just a normal hobby, some people wants you to take their picture for free which is kinda cool in a way but when time comes that your gear is broken that is the hardest part, helping is cool, taking pictures for free is cool because it brings smile to people but you need something too.

What goal are you working towards within your photography and when will you know you have reached it?
My goal, i can't think of any, but i wanted to try to help others while learning and sharing my experience in photography with them(my group SNAPS) I think i can reached when i see them and myself gain respect and succeed.
What photographic organizations do you belong to?
I created a small group called "SNAPS", at first it was a bunch of aspiring photographers, models and make up artist, but lately people with experience join our group and we learned alot from them.

Maybe i would like to take pictures of Wayne Lim, Renato B Lu or Jose "Sir JB" Baluyot Jr.
If you weren't a photographer or a multimedia artist, what would you want to be? Why?
If im not a photographer or a multimedia artist? i never imagine that, but maybe i would be taking marketing, or political science, i don't know it's actually a wild guess.
How do you see yourself 20 or 30 yrs from now?
maybe 20 or 30 years from now, i hope i will be greater than of what i am right now, and i would like to share my skills to those who's willing to learn too, as they say you need to pass the torch when time comes.
What legacy you will leave on?
Legacy? I can't think of any, but maybe the way i see things in a different way at most times.
Any final message? Its your time to shine.
Hi there thank you! i don't know if i deserved any recognition or worth any of your time yet, im just a artist who's trying to be a photographer, using it as another medium to let you see what i have in mind or to share what i see sometimes, still i wanna learn more and share those that i learn with my crew SNAPS or kung sino man ang mga makakasalamuha ko along the way.
I was inspired to do this, and hopefully magawa ko rin makapag inspire ng iba, i don't see myself buying high end camera gears im more of a resourceful type of a photography because i believe "wala sa pana yan, asa indian yan" smile emoticon Peace!
