How many alibis did I offer to photographers? Not to brag, I rejected a lot. Like what Ms. Susie Khalil said, taxes are virtually non-existent here in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps, this is one reason why each Filipino in the kingdom has his own DSLR and eventually engages himself in photography. Some even own different brands which come in different sizes. Some even have their own studios. I believe these camera-freaks seek subjects, be it for their portfolios or for fun. I am honoured to receive such invitation. However, I am not comfortable with it.
If you are an online buddy, you would notice I upload pictures of mine regularly. Sure you would think I love to pose in front of a camera... And that camera is mine. Seldom do I accept photoshoot invitations. Very seldom, as my family and I are uncomfortable with the idea of striking a pose over the heads of various photographers... unless there is a sense of purpose behind it. A meaningful purpose, to be exact. One of these is the "Clicks of Hope".
Clicks of Hope was a fund-raising project organized by Cameraderie last November 22, 2012. Riyadh photographers unified as one for the benefit of Typhoon Yolanda's victims. This project was able to raise approximately PHP 100,000.
It was a great experience! It is a good way to showcase one's talent while extending a hand. Good job, Filipinos!
