A few months ago (last year, actually), I joined a one-day activity for lomographers in UP Diliman.  Featuring Parkour Manila, here it is, finally.  Thanks to Shutter Revolution.  This was fun.

My family and I recently took a roadtrip up north to Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. The route was from our house in Bataan, then Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union, and finally Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. Whew. For the trip I brought my two cameras, the Fat Lens and the Golden Half, and I used Lucky 200 for both. The results below show just how much I still have to learn about these two cameras. The Golden Half photos turned out moodier than I thought they would, simply because we arrived at Vigan before the sun was up in full blast. The Fat Lens photos turned out better than I expected, though. Lots of bright blue skies, vignettes, and wide angle goodness.

The Golden Half photos were all taken in Vigan, while the Fat Lens photos were all taken all around Ilocos Norte.

Why hello there. 

I know it has been at least 6 months since my last post, but I had a really good reason.  The last few months have been life-changing as we welcome a new member of our family.  Amidst our life rollercoaster, I knew I had to make it up to this blog somehow; so what better way than documenting our journey with one of my toy cameras.


So, without further ado, our past 38 weeks in summary via Polaroid:

That's it for now, I have to go cuddle with my babe.  You understand, right?

I haven't had time to edit the videos of my recent trips, but here are my favorite clips: one is of me and my friends having fun with the Inception totem (only my fingers and my voice are in the video, though), and the other is of my nephew, Zacky, after feeding the goats at Zoobic Safari.

Here are a few Instax holiday photos featuring my family, friends, officemates, and a donkey. Hoping this year will be full of awesome toy camera photos, less fail moments with cameras, and great moments worth capturing through the plastic lens.

Hey, V., can't wait to meet your beautiful baby, even just in photos! <3

The photo processor somehow messed up with my Golden Half shots and scanned the half frames separately. Ah well. Let's just pretend this is a roll from my Fat Lens.  Majority of the photos were taken in Naga City on a particularly unpretty day, but it was fun times indeed with my friends, Arianne and Eloisa, so despite the bad weather, everything was fun.

Here are some photos from my first test roll with the Golden Half Telepathy.  The Superheadz miracle happened again, so I am now a firm believer.  Out of the 36 possible shots, 33 came out.  I'm not going to post all, though, as most of them are either overexposed or underexposed.  I think I got used to the Fat Lens that doesn't need any adjustment in the settings, so I wasn't able to manipulate the simple settings for this baby.  Lesson learned, yeah?

I just love a clear blue sky

I'm pretty obsessed with my new shoes

What? No food in pool? Guess I better find my food elsewhere. ;)
