fisheye (01)
shot with holga k200n
don’t judge it by its retro design and bulky body. it’s gota be the EASIEST fisheye camera to use. firstly, the load is automatic, i struggled because i always struggle but you pretty much press a button and it’s done. secondly, it has built in flash which is probably the only problem you usually face with these kind of cameras, cause they make you buy a flash..
anyways, i took too many photos of trees /bushes will try to expand and do more grocery store photos. i love grocery store photos.
i fired up my super old scanner, the glass is dusty so i realized when scanned at 600dpi there are flicks of dust and dirty which there is nothing i can do about. i tried to clean it, it doesn’t clean
the scanner isn’t that old but its drivers no longer fit with windows 7 or vista so you gota do it super old school style through windows photo gallery!
i love the colored filters x flash
my favorite outdoor reading place, but so many flies…
i always fist bump these lions, all the asian homes have them, except for ours…
i tried it with two colored filters
Fisheye + should have known
so I said that I received a holga fisheye as a present a long time ago, from my friend Tim, whom I never meet with anymore, how’d that I happen? I must call or text him soon (oh yeah I got off facebook, people seem to forget that you’re alive, and I forget about people too, when you are off facebook)
So, this is something that I’ve always known but never realized, the fisheye lens is detachable which means what? That I can have an inconvenient but still available digital fisheye!
Just place the lens in front of your digital camera, i don’t like to do this because i have a leica lens, and i can’t find and or lost and or someone took my lens cleaner.
boom, look at that! was procrastinating finishing off the 12th chapter, hey that’s what i’m doing now!
and the whole pizza i ate in anticipation of the rapture.
Diana Mini – 1st roll!
with my Renewed enthusiasm in lomography; here’s my first, very first Diana Mini roll
This is the first roll that i’ve developed from the diana mini that i received..almost two years ago 
haha bad.
Yeah it of course did not come out as expected because that’s the point and also no one’s first roll comes out well i think….
problems that i had: not enough light (need a flash), film that’s generic (though i dont know how lomo film can help), unfamiliarity with the camera, getting it developed at a super market (it was all printed on 35 mm film and i cut it myself, and some overlapped due to multiple exposes)
but whatever, gonna convince you that i made art anyway.
can’t stop listening to Michelle by The Beatles (I always thought it was spelled Michele because the girl is French?)
Le Self Portrait: the artist always hides her face because I dont know but it is le absolutment epitome of art
Food in front of the computer: it showcases the modernity of today’s youth and their companion (or lack there of, or replaced there of)
What is thing? Here we have either a Lamborghini or a Maserati (the photo is too unclear to tell) and wavy lines and light, what is the real thing here? And more importantly, what is real? Plato’s theory of form?
Food, take 2! Support of life
more things: blurring of objects and light
Most of it came out blurry, but i think i’ll try it with the fisheye camera that i also received as a present but never ever used.
Twas a nice day
not so interesting things are happening but at least it’s getting warmer 
Cool cat that likes to be photographed
So I was on my way to the hair cut place, which is in walking distance…
(this is taken with my HTC desire)
i walk pass by this very beautiful cat with a leopard like skin, i’m intrigued by cats with this kind of coloring because they just don’t look like normal cats, they look even more arrogant than the normal ones..
so anyways i try to approach it, it actually takes a few steps towards me but stops, i was in a hurry so I let it go, it ended up crossing the street to another house, apparently that’s its house?
so on the way back from the hair place…. i notice it again, this time it seemed to remember me, so i tried to take pictures of it but im actually kind of scared of cats, almost all pets actually so i took a few steps at a time and i took a picture as i got closer, i didn’t end up getting that close..but..that’s ok..
SEE YOU AGAIN SOON
but i created this cool (in my opinion) effect of the steps i took…i don’t even know, whatever, what a badass ok.
i left the FULL uncropped version after the cut because its 350k and 1200px. .. .but it looks cooler imo
I went for a walk to show you some things
The sun came out today and I had decided to go for a walk, basically to return my library books. Just as I was about to walk past the market, I saw truck load of pigs, carcasses being loaded off by a man wearing a blue beanie. I wish I had my camera at that time, so I went back to my house to get it, sadly by the time I came back, he had already finished unloading the pigs and I didn’t get a chance to take any pictures for you.
I did manage to get some pictures though, maybe you’d like them.
I had a great walk, spring’s here, and I felt really refreshed, it sounds stupid but walking really does clear your head in some ways.
not my teeth, but frightening…but those are my keys and earbuds
I don’t know why I took a picture of a fence, but there you go, I must’ve thought it looked cool at the time
I dont know why I took a picture of this either, I guess I just thought it must’ve taken a lot of hard work to collect similar size / shaped leaves.
and there you go, my neighborhood, kind of.
domesticated
I just wanted to test this idea that I had for a gradient. Super markets are pretty, I think so at least.
