Insert Image (Here)... Not there!

No work day...

2009-11-15T12:13:00.000-08:00

... thank God Day off again, it's afternoon and i am out of the house, yet another day of trying what activities to do. Am here at Borders benefiting again on their free Wi-fi and a Hot Chocolate drink, blogging away whatever i think. I did also went to the park and did walk & do some shooting, unfortunately i ran out of film the only roll that i have is the one loaded on my Camera, "nakakabitin"

i just had a rush of images that i have seen around me and i wanna picture it. Lesson learned Don't shoot w/out an extra roll, you never know what you'll see around you i guess it made me think a while ago of the images i want to shoot.. . is it worthy image? feeling like i am an editor of a magazine, it might end up horrible anyway, after all of the creative thinking i did on how i will shoot.. nonetheless it's a practice for me.. on my hobby to make it a better image, i guess...

Re-kindling what i loved..

i am starting to be more involved to film and also photography again, since i have switched to digital before which is nice. It's no excuse to say "ohh it's the weather" kind off reason to go out and just shoot.. it's digital, what can go wrong? just delete it and re-take it again. Film is Different it's practices you more patient and more excited, something to look forward to in every shot, is it good? how did this will come out? hmm...

but still film and you also think you really be careful or be worth framing it in some cases but, hey! practice makes perfect just a thought on somethings i consider. I went to Penn Camera few days ago to just mostly browse on cameras, but i eneded up buying a film, i am really looking forward in loading that up on my Rangefinder and roam around and shoot, i have spoke to one of the guy's over there and he knows hos stuff about film and i learned a lot, very nice.. so yeah i am craving for a shoot on film.

it slipped into my head yesterday that i already got my camera, Yes! my only highlight for the day... 45mm f1.7 sweetness DOF, did a test roll and i am pleased w/the results.. am just out of words oday.. heres some images that cam i got

it handled the darkness very nice, considering its an analog camera & film iso at 400

The DOF (Depth of field) is so shallow, i wish it was o.99, but that will burn more hole in my pocket and melt my wallet on that type of lens and camera.. but for now this is worth every penny i have spent..

Work..

2009-11-11T03:08:00.000-08:00

yes, another day at work, i know this will just gonna freaking sound so generic bitching about your typical Grind... but, yet there comes in time that you have to whine about it, to most of us we don't really bitch & complain..Shit! you got to pay the bills! or whatever money you owe, you got to do something, but this is is weird i feel kind that every1 really showed up at work, doesn't feel to be there.

I can notice it on there action and slurry languages like a patient who is half anesthetized from the dentist trying to fill out dental forms. I mean even Speaking? seriously.. and the good part everyone is starring at the clock waiting for those long and short hand land in 6 and 30.. oohh good its a kill.. well anyway am-off to work, just want to share this to whomever interested, pickup some coffee on the way chug & be recharge like an enthusiastic bastard who loves his J-O-B, w/c in reality most of us aint!

A Bad case of Munchies

it's 1245am EST can't sleep... I have know idea (most of us don't anyway), rolling on the right, Left, Fetal Position etc. etc. STill no Zzz's coming in, the next thing i know.. headache, Couldn't get any better. I Need to sleep! ..then i just remembered actually my stomach Growled, amidst the silent Dark room, a soft hum of a Heater to keep the temp drifting around the 60's... The Growl, Like a Human inside a Man, Wrecking to be fed..Yup I followed, surely is a life saver for the people who crave something to eat at night or any unusual hour, out of norm

My Preferred Grub? Taco Bell, less than 3 min Drive from home, Less or for whatever left on my Spider & insect Potential Dwelling Wallet in my case.. ahhh "Busog!" and felt the experience on what usually seeing on the movies that being so full the next thing is sleepiness.. my Sleeping Pill for today, Thanks Taco Bell. Muchos Gracias

Still really surprised..

i am still surprised sometimes of the images the i take, which i found ugly or unacceptable yet to others it's something that they like and made it a favorite on flickr , i can safely say that everybody has his own different eye in seeing things like this image that i have took way way back

when i was starting to take pictures thru a style called lomography , i thought it was something i will not upload in flickr but still i did just for storing it online, after a couple of weeks i have seen other members who commented and and loved it some did say something nice & less likable, but still i am thankful. I guess thats what keeps me going to take more pics, I am still waiting for that "moment" i don't know what that is but i need to put it in frame

ohh! the picture was taken by a Lomo-Oktomat, loaded w/an expired store brand iso-400 film w/c was redscaled.

the 35mm "Sprocket" Lomo

2009-11-09T03:15:00.000-08:00

This is My 1st love in Photography... "Lomo" "Lomograhy" "Toy camera" i don't know what terms as long as i got to this and loved it. The concept "don't think just shoot" gotten a lot of debate from some of the people i knew online to them they say that it's not taking it literally because you will just end up wasting the film. so it really depends on you, having a hunch or a sudden flow of creative juice.... fuck that! just know the rules that goes w/it and follow..Nope. Break it! they say to break the rules you must know it. Multiple Exposures, Light Leaks, Cross Processing.. yeah! limited by your imagination and those are part of the said process..

This shot i did is from a Holga, i have loaded it w/a 35mm film. The film itself is part of the Frame the the holes, the lines & color itself, i remember just standing beside this tree and setup my small tripod and aimed it upward and shot! actually a long expoure, on a 5am stroll on the mall not trying to look suspicious.. just an Joe taking pictures of object that i think will go really nice if framed

Bokeh Nice! Who Can't Resist it?!

I am so Excited and just can't wait to get my Hands on an Old Camera that i have recently Won on Evil-Bay the Black Yashica Electro 35 GT, has a 45mm coupled fixed f/1.4 lens w/c produces this very very nice Bokeh, Courtesy of Martin Meurers at Flickr

My 1st Pic for this..

2009-11-08T14:11:00.000-08:00

...Been itching to shot, i can't buy a DSLR yet, but i am a film freak too.. I have just finished a Ilford 400 B&W roll (Finally!) 36 shoots of hit or miss photos.. i have picked 2 and i hope you love it ( i mean like, i am getting my hopes way up)

I have used Adobe light room for minimal post processing but nonetheless all of them are film characteristics, i wish i have won the Nikon coolscan V w/c is a dedicated film scanner but, unfortunately i will burn $500 almost in my Pants for that. Shit! not on the budget, since i will be going to school, need to save, less spending =)
