Citizen Litratista: Or How To be a Responsible Photographer

The Communitarian Perspective states that:

“Citizens are active participants in the community as well as in the polity, contributing to the common welfare, to the economy’s wealth production and, most significantly, sharing in the rights and responsibilities.” (CWTS-1 “More on the Communitarian Perspective of CITIZENSHIP” by Prof Vilanueva, Matsuda 2009)

In a communitarian perspective, every citizen has the responsibility toward each other, supporting ang helping not only one another but the whole community as well. Every individual has its own needs, has its own part and duty in providing each other’s needs. Teachers are there to educate. Farmers are for our food. Doctors are for our health and to cure sickness. Leaders are there to unite, guide and to serve the community. 

I am a volunteer photographer (social and environmental awareness) and works as a community organizer. My responsibility is to capture images, our natural resources, and let others appreciate what I have seen. My other responsibility is to empower farming community, to act as a bridge or maybe an agent of change – to connect and bring them closer to the government’s basic public services.

I am more of a photographer, I hope that my pictures can influence, build and strengthen communities shared values. I hope that, through my photographs, I can build good relationship between individual and the community towards their environment.


Let me show some of the images:
