We have this Christmas photo
contest in our department and every group is busy doing their props but us. It's
a day before the deadline and we still couldn't think of a good theme. Since,
everyone in our team is too busy to be
bothered by props-making, we
decided to just do an impromptu photoshoot
outside and just give gift to random street people and take a photo out of
it. Boom, lack of
creativity and budget solved!
We saw this elderly couple
outside the IT park (Cebu), asking for
money. We think of them as a good subject for the photo contest. We
choreographed a gift giving out of them and did the photoshoot. It's just so sad that we used them for props
and that the scene was all staged up.
Pretensions aside, we just give them something for us to get something in
return.
So, we're
thinking of giving them gifts, cameras aside. And if you want to join with us,
please contact me for a little help you could lend. We hope it
wouldn't be too much to ask for a little help to give them a merry christmas for
what a short life they still have. For once, we wont let them bother of thinking how
they'll be able to stuff their stomach to get a day
going.
After all, Christmas is not
about oneself. It is doing a little something extra to someone. Look under your
couch or check your pants that's been in
the laundry basket for quite sometime
- there might be change/coins that you've forgotton you have, or a little
extra on your budget for the week.
