today, i start saying hello
i started school this week. and today i start saying hello.
you must be wondering what the hell im talking about. well, yesterday's photojournalism class has given me a whole new perspective to life, people and choices.
our lecturer taught us many life lessons, and i bet there's more to come. being a photographer is not only about how well you can handle your equipment, skills can always be learned. the first thing is to never judge a person by how he or she behaves, what he or she says, or how he or she reacts. we will never know what that person has gone through and its not fair to judge that person based on what you see.
he dislikes our singaporean culture. i understand why. its somehow embarassing that 'face value' matters so much to us. 'it doesnt hurt to say hello to a stranger'.
he pointed out the neglected old folks of our society, especially in chinatown area. it was like a wake up call to do something about it.
in that few hours, i've learnt so much.
so today, i start saying hello.
