Young Photographers Philippines (YoPho!)

Young Photographers Philippines (YoPho!) - Are U One of Us?

Hey! I know I have been inactive in the blogosphere for quite a while and I owe you guys a lot. It's just that school and work eat most of my time lately plus a few random activities which I had to attend to during my so-called hiatus mode. Well, one of the few remarkable activities which I recently joined is this famous :) and most promising :) :) photography group called Young Photographers Philippines (YoPho!). I attended the first meeting with the members of the group last July and since then, we regularly meet either for a photoshoot/photowalk or to just simply spend the day (night mostly) together over a bottle of beer or a videoke session. In fact, the first time I met with them, we did a photowalk around the streets of Binondo and went all the way to Intramuros. Not only do I get to practice and improve my camera diversion, but I also get to meet a lot of new people, a lot of new friends in which we share one solid passion – Photography obviously.

Young Photographers Philippines (YoPho!) is a non-profit organization composed of students, young professionals, artists and media people whose main objective is to pursue their passion for Photography and to mold the next generation of Filipino photographers. The group aims to provide a meaningful service to photographers by uplifting each and everyone's techinical knowledge as well as enhancing one's artistic and social capabilities concerning Photography thus molding the members to become competent, compassionate and committed Filipino Photographers.

For those who wish to be part of this experience please see this related post about Helios Project Int'l, a world-class photography group, which I am an active member. Here are some of our pictures just so you'll know how fun it is to be with a photography group. :)
