Repost lang ni nako ang gipost ni Sir Dexter Maneja last year. Kanang gi bold nako ug gi red ang color, couldn't agree more.

passion for photography will always be there bisan wala pa nang Sinulog, we will still shoot anything we see that we think worthy of being photograph... it will never be lost (kana kung tinuoray imong passion sa photography), if ikaw usa ka sa mga 'for display only' photographers then the 'passion for photography' is wala gyud in the first place and you are not worthy of getting the title as 'photographer', i call you a 'walking mannequin' used to display those blings2x...
i don't know why ngano kasagaran ni post diri is ge blaim ang 'photographers' when in fact ila lang gi sulit ang ilang gibayad and of course apil na pamasin nga to get that 'shot' and win the photo contest.
naa sad uban photographers mo post diri pirting hilasa mura raba og wala silay labot sa nidumog, bisan kad**** ra mo nidumog but still nidumog guihapon mo and still you add up to that number of photographers nga nidumog... stop blaming uban photographers nga ulo nila inyong nakuha sala na ninyo kay wala mo mangita og alternative place/angle to shoot... sa tinuod lang ang uban photos nga gi post diri nga naay ulo, kamot, lawas sa photographer if it so happen nga wala sila diha sa frame, it won't still win the contest...
partly SFI is to be blamed, i think part sa mga gibayad sa photographers is for security, crowd control, t-shirt, id and even paghatag og budget sa mga contingent as what posted by SFI staff sa 'sinulog 2012 official thread'... not to mention ang gibayad sa Canon for the sponsorship...
dos sentimos lang po...
