growing out of it?


Remember when i first got my LCA in Dubai, happily clicking away. Remember when I as back in Singapore with the LCA, everywhere I went, a hipshot or 2 becomes a routine. On the way to work, lunch time, shopping, in the bus, train, in the toilet... everywhere, there was a motivation to shoot.

Has that grown out of me? I mean I still shoot, no doubt, but nowadays, I'm always thinking what to shoot, what's the 'meaning' in shooting that subject. I hardly hipshot nowadays. Always looking thru the viewfinder, looking at what I'm shooting, at what angle etc. It's just not as it used to be, 'carefree', different. Though, I do believe the pics now are much better than what it used to be. But somehow, some aspects just seem to have disappeared. It's sad somehow.


ps. i've sinned. these days, i sometimes dun carry a camera to work.

should 110 be revived?

thanks to a friend who gave me an agfamatic 110 camera for my birthday. :D

so.. i tried my first roll of 110 (agfa), then 2nd roll (expired 10 yrs fuji). I like the camera, small, very small. just fits in my pocket, no bigger than a pack of cigerettes. However, the film is not really available in Singapore, neither is the scanning available in most shops. :(

In japan, it seems 110 film is making a come back thru superheadz. even agfa has started making 110 films again just for superheadz. I could bring in these films, though it wouldnt be cheap. and as i've said, most labs dun do this anymore. :(

anyway, here are the results of the 110. self scanned. So wat do you think? shuld it be revived? worth it to be revived?

A trip to bottle tree park on a damn sunny day. (HOT!) thanks eileen for bringing us there. :D



the lomo slides!!

the test roll of the new lomo slides. the results amazed me. :D
sadly, i have none left. :( cos the rest were given/sold to some close friends. well, at least they'll get to enjoy the film. I'm sure they would.

anyway, these are the shots taken on the day 2 of the lomokids came down to singapore. Went around little india, then to the toy museum. Last stop of the day was at the Killer Gerbil's Exhibition.

Was feeling sick that day, but am glad I went along. :D
