Richard Guevara the Photographer 2: Not Quite Getting There

I'll be very persistent that I will NOT be a photographer. Let just say that I take pictures - or I have to take pictures because I cover our office's activities as part of my job.

Recently, we got access (not really access, I just can't find the correct term) to a government website for us to contribute on a regular basis or at least as the need arises. With that, my mindset is to take pictures on a journalist's point of view instead of Facebook frenzy.

What are these things? When my boss is on a speaking engagement, I have to take good shots of: 1.  her in serious speaking mode, 2. the backdrop for people to know where is she of what activity is it,  3. a glimpse of audience to determine how many people attended the event -all of these in one frame. Simple, Newstory accommodates only one picture in newspaper or in this case, news website. 

Nonetheless, I can't help thinking about what I can be as a photographer. With every activity I attend to, I try to capture images on the artistic side - at least on my standard. With some aspects of photography, this is to show how I progress - or how I don't.
