I had this photography professor who hated tilted shots-- y'know, the ones where the horizon is diagonal, and the "water is spilling" and all that. During that time (since he was my professor and I respected him and it was photojournalism, after all) I scrupulously straightened my horizon using Lightroom. I followed the guidelines, the rule of thirds, and avoided the dead spots, even when cropping photos. I avoided taking pictures that had the subject too centered. I religiously followed the rules of post-processing, making sure that the whites were white and the brightness wasn't too bright, keeping the photo as close to reality as possible.

So my friend needs some votes for this contest and I'm just shamelessly plugging it in here, in case you might want to help. Here's the link: https://www2.axeapollo.com/en_PH/27763/angelo-lagman/ Oh and share it to others, too, okay? It'll be such a big help! Thanks a lot! <3

I feel so agit. "Agit" /ad-JIT/ is this jargon or slang in our university. It's supposed to be the short term for agitated, but it's come to mean something along the lines of "standing in the fires of revolution while screaming for change". Or maybe that's too exaggerated, but hey, it is what it is. I've just read about the murder of a Maguindanao massacre witness. After he'd done his part and identified the concerned people, he vanished for two months and, two weeks ago, his chopped up body was discovered and now identified. The other man, who was to testify, has also disappeared and police suspect that he was also silenced. It sickens me
