I have a few camera crushes, but none of them are the usual Superheadz or Lomo cams.  Here are two of them so far.

Till then, I shall have to keep on dreaming, and find a way to use my new Bee camera, which I believe I haven't shared yet.

My friend, Arianne, and I went to Hong Kong.  I took a few crappy photos.  And in between those, there were a few cute ones.

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
