Self Reflection;
It was a fun experience being able to learn photography and travel at the same time. Gaining knowledge from seniors is such a good opportunity because photography class usually is expensive and does not offer the same experience I had in this program.
When making the group assignments artwork, I and my groupmates are required to think outside of the box in order to achieve the best looking picture. Choreographing models in taking pictures is not an easy task, since a slight difference could not match with the picture we paint in our head.
Being in Sabah feels like living in a different country. Even though they use Bahasa as their language but the dialect makes it hard to recognize some words they say. Thankfully, we had a friend from Sabah, which was our Travel Guide throughout the program. He taught us a lot about dialect from Sabah, and the culture they practice there. Plus, he even lends us some of the museum Sabah's ethnics culture clothes, for the use of our assignments.
