A Captured Mystery: Reminiscing the Sendong Tragedy

The perfect criterion for a perfect photograph is not limited to the subject and how the message was conveyed. It defies the photographer’s creative imagination on how an individual feels the emotion being depicted in the portrait. The photographers’ main concern, therefore, is on how their own photograph be an impact to many who views and will view it. There are some photos that touch the heart. There are some that tickles the curiosity. And some that are hidden in the darkness of mystery.The Power of Digital Photography.


The Provincial Capitol Ground of Cagayan de Oro City was filled with glimmering lights in the dark. I can still remember last year that they did the same thing but the difference is that they changed the color from blue to white. It was unique and resourceful. Simple and yet very endearing to the eyes. I had a chance to pass by the said place and I can't help but spell the word 'WOW'. This was a feeling to cherish preparing for the best festive time of the year; the feeling I had before the typhoon Sendong tragedy.

Beautiful isn't it? but have you ever wonder that this image has a meaning or something? a prediction or so? or a warning? I guess NOBODY ever wondered about that. Perhaps, who could view this lovely scenario in a different perspective.



However, one thing is for sure. That every time I pass by this place I will always remember the thousands of souls that were lost during the biggest tragedy that ever happened in Cagayan de Oro City. Were this adornment meant for the memory of the people who have died? You judge. God Bless their souls.
