Those were the precious company during the 90s, can you still remember the local photographer like the name of Mang Temy, who usually ride his bike all the way from the other town, just to attend the event and take you snapshot that will cost 30 pesos to 50 pesos per shot. In todays money what is 30-50 pesos, thats a lot of money during the 90s it is a one day wages for transplanting rice in the field where you are literally planting rice under the rain or under the sun. You plant rice all day and get your wages at sun down then spend a little for a bottle of coca cola and save the rest for school and some coins for the bamboo bank. This bamboo bank will later be opened during special occasion like foundation day, intramural or christmas party celebration. During this event the school will organized some activity and have the opportunity to celebrate with classmates, crush-mate, friends and barkadas and sometimes we can take some photographs like one or two shots with the help of the photographer which eventually will pay for the photo when it is printed. Well, those were the experience during the 90s where selfies and duckling smile are not yet conceptualize. Every smile were so precious which we always cherish those experiences.
What happened to Agfa, Fujifilm, Kodak and other photo film company? Today they were overtaken by smart device which will take a photo of you and enhance your look to make you even better. When you look at the photos of today everything is perfect but sometimes they are very far from reality to the point where you will not be able to realized the same person from the photograph.
Just remembering the days of yesterday.
