LIN-AY SAN MIGUEL
My name is Quosyne Angeline Navarro San Miguel, yes
that is one hell of a name but you can call me Lin-ay
for short.
I was about six years old when I first held a camera.
The first picture I ever took was at Cagayan de Oro
when my dad asked me to take a picture of him, my mom
and my little brother in front of this building. That
time, digital cameras were not yet “uso” so we used
film. After it was printed, I looked for the picture
that I took and when I saw it I was very pleased with
it. Of course, little kids are all pleased with everything that they see or do but when my dad saw it he
was proud of me. He said that maybe I had a gift for
photography. I grew up with art all around the house.
I’d find my dad designing buildings and making floor
plans, his blueprints were often scattered all over
our dining table and I would copy them making these
unsymmetrical squares I’d call “buildings” with heartshaped windows. My mom would also do landscape and interior designing so she’d also sketch stuff. My family
is a family of artists. I have a lot of relatives that
are really good drawers and painters. Some of them also
design gowns and stuff. I draw too but I’m not really
good at it, pero nag Fine Arts ko ha. Perti ang guts.
Hahahaha
