These photos seem like they were for ads. This would be my very cheesy and corny take on commercial photography. HAH!

Have a happy rest-of-the-summer! :)

Birthdays can make you sentimental sometimes.

It’s funny how I always plan to say this and that on my blog posts whenever I post-process my photos, but then after uploading them here, I seem to completely forget about everything I had thought about. Maybe it’s not that funny. It’s annoying at times. When I was a kid, I always had the idea that I have the sharpest memory.

When I was a kid, I found a film camera in my father’s drawer. Since then, I have come to like the idea of photography. And lately, my need in wanting to shoot in film has  been bugging me again when my friends, Weng and Kat, brought their toy camera and Instax to our last day of internship. (Cue confetti.) You can call it “nakikiuso” or whatever you want. All I know is that, when I was a kid, I was against digital when it first came out. It actually took me long enough to love the fact that you can view your photos before printing it. And since then, I’ve been relying on it. Viewing your photos won’t do you good sometimes. I turn off my display whenever I want to challenge myself. I should challenge myself more. We all should.

Going back to film, since all I have right now is digital for I still have to look for an old film lens to replace my father’s expired one, all I can do is to make my photos look film and raw.

The photos are bluish which I kind of love. My photos are always warm. This is definitely something new for me.

Today, I had my second part of driving lessons. When I was a kid, I used to sit on my father’s lap while he parks the car in the garage. My brother and I would take turns. I never thought I could actually drive a car because when I was a kid, I always thought I would have my own driver.

When I was a kid, I never got the chance to play with a kite. I wish I was the playful kind. All the energy that should have been released then are still in me. Now, even long elevator rides give me adrenalin rush. I WANT ADVENTURES!!

No matter how many times I pass by this, no matter how orange and unappealing the lights are, I will always love this subway.
