May 9 was my final photovoice session. Everyone got to see their final product framed and ready to be shown off. This session consisted of basically sharing everyone's final work and congratulating everyone for finishing a full photovoice session. I thought everyone's final products were amazing. The pictures already blew my mind, but it's what people had to say about the pictures that made it more meaningful. It was cool to compare what I thought when I first saw the picture to what they tried to capture when they took the picture. It was also nice getting positive feedback about my final product especially from all these individuals who have more experience with the issue of mental illness or substance abuse in the Filipino community. It showed me that everyone really does have a story regardless of who you are. Also, I put a lot of thought and work into it and it was nice getting recognized. After we all shared our final works, we took some time to put up our pictures in the Pilipino Bayanihan Resource Center in Daly City. This is temporary until Joe, our facilitator, finds other places to exhibit our work. I had a great time doing photovoice even though I'm not sure if I would do it again.
