Magandang Huwebes mga ka-LP! Eto ang aking nakakakilabot na lahok para ngayong linggong ito.
Hindi ba’t nakakakilabot kung foggy ang paligid? Hindi mo makita kung ano ang merong nakatago sa likod ng fog. Ganyan ang mga kinatatakutan kong horror movies… yung tipong hindi mo nakikita ang mga salarin… yung mala-Blair Witch Project. Siguro mga isang linggo akong hindi makatulog ng patay ang ilaw. Haha! Napanood nyo na ba ang The Mist? Diba sobrang foggy? Pero di ako masyadong natakot don… natangahan lang ako sa characters. Haha!
Eniwey, ang larawan na ito ay kuha sa tabing daan mula Banaue papuntang Sagada.
Sali ka sa

This is my hair-raising entry for this week’s Litratong Pinoy.
Isn’t it a bit scary when it’s foggy around you? You can’t see what’s behind the fog. Horror movies like this is what really scares me… movies where you can’t see the villain… kinda like the Blair Witch Project. It took me about a week before I could finally sleep with the lights off. Haha! Have you seen The Mist? Wasn’t that a really foggy? But that movie didn’t scared… I just thought the characters were a bit stupid. Haha!
Anyway, this photo was taken on the road somewhere between Banaue and Sagada. Happy Thursday everyone!
Got my new baby yesterday!!! Yay! My cousin arrived yesterday for a month’s vaycay and with her was my new camera, the Oktomat!
It has 8 lenses… yes, you read that right… 8! It takes 8 consecutive shots with just one click of the shutter button, slicing a single image into 8 little frames. You can read more about the Oktomat here.
It is originally priced USD 40 but I got it for only USD 34, shipping fee included. I got a hefty 25% discount during the LC-A’s 25th anniversary plus 10 piggy points (1 piggy = USD 1) from my Lomohome account.
I just loaded it with my very first roll and I can’t wait to start shooting and see the shots! 
Magandang Huwebes mga ka-LP! Eto ang aking lahok para ngayong linggong ito.
Ang payong! Napaka-laking tulong nito sa atin. Kung tag-tuyo ay magagamit ito para di tayo masunog ng init ng araw. Kung tag-ulan naman ay magagamit ito para manatili tayong tuyo.

This is my entry for this week’s Litratong Pinoy theme which is dry.
The umbrella. This is a necessity for our everyday lives. During the dry season, it keeps us from getting burned by the sun. During the rainy season, it keeps us dry from the rain.
Happy Thursday everyone!
Camera: Holga 120 GCFN

Magandang Huwebes mga ka-LP! Eto ang aking lahok para ngayong linggong ito.
Eto ang tinatawag na “Basa Sa Dagat.” O, diba parang title ng x-rated movie? Haha! Eto ay ang aking pamangkin. Kinukuhanan ko ang paglubog ng araw at ng pagtalikod ay bigla na lang siyang bumulaga sa harap ko. Buti na lang hindi ko nabitawan ang kamera ko!

This is my entry for Litratong Pinoy’s theme this week which is wet. The girl on the photo is my niece. I was taking shots of the sunset and when I faced the other way, she suddenly popped in front of me, startling me. Good thing I didn’t drop my camera in the water.
Happy Thursday everyone!
Camera: Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim
Film: Fuji Velvia 50 - X-Pro
Ever since I first used my first lomo camera, I got hooked on lomography. It wasn’t even a real lomo cam… my Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, but it is considered a poor man’s lomo cam. Then I saw those square photos with really cool vignettes and I was pretty amazed. That’s when I bought my pink Holga. And now, I’m waiting for my third lomo cam… the wicked Oktomat with its 8 lenses and I can’t wait to use it!
So, what exactly is lomography? Here is a definition from Wikipedia…
Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, “happy accidents,” and alternative film processing are often considered part of the “Lomographic Technique.” Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life
I fell in love with lomo because of all the characteristics mentioned… over-saturated colors, vignettes, off-kilter exposure, blurring, happy accidents.. all those and most especially the element of surprise. It is actually like a box of chocolates for you’ll never know exactly what the outcome of your roll will be.
I know, I know, a couple of people already told me that you can get all these results by manipulating your images digitally. But where’s the fun in that? And just to prove how fun it is, here are the 10 golden rules of lomography:
- Take your camera everywhere you go.
- Use it any time – day and night.
- Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
- Try the shot from the hip.
- Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
- Don’t think. (William Firebrace)
- Be fast.
- You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
- Afterwards either.
- Don’t worry about any rules.
