Because of the popularity of interweb sharing,

printed photographs are to those who want to

spend extra on a thing where only a handful of your

friends can touch and see.

Why print photos where we can upload it by the second

we took/make/create a photo via digital cameras.

Photo printing labs that offer great deal on developing

and printing our photos are one by one shutting their doors down.

The reason, maybe,was that the general public

loss its interest on printed images.

We should never tag an uploaded image as a photo.

Photographs are prints.

And will always be a print.

Instant gratification to us.

But what we have on our hands are physical proofs,

not an image viewed on the LCD.

I love my craft

"Don't take the fun part out of it.

Because when you do, you're just a worker

among workers.

Don't get too serious."

And with that,

Thank you and Goodnight.

December 20 and December 23

solstices occur less

frequently than

December 21 or December 22 solstices

in the Gregorian calendar.

The last December 23 solstice occurred in 1903

and will not occur again until the year 2303.

A December 20 solstice has occurred very rarely,

with the next one occurring in the year 2080.

yashica PS

2011-12-06T08:17:00.001+08:00

Many moons ago, I started my search for

a little camera who goes by the name of

Yashica T4 (that's the T5 if you live across the pond).

A small point and shoot camera that can rival bulky slr's.

It was a little weatherproof camera that has a very

sharp Carl Zeiss lens.

Fortunately, there's a lot of it on EvilBay.

But the prices are ridiculously expensive,

way above the brand new prices if you have a

time machine.

So, I search for something similar.

Compact 35mm forums on the interweb,

suggested that the Yashica Minitec is the one.

Very close to the T4 (motor,sounds,dimensions etc)

minus the Carl Zeiss lens.

The minitec has a wider FL than the T4.

Minitec has a 33mm lens versus the 35mm of the T4.

Minitec is not waterproof though.

Fortunately again, Minitec is all over ebay.

Unfortunately, I don't have a credit card nor a

Paypal account.

Tides began to turn when I went to a bazaar at

the UP Bahay ng Alumni last Dec 4.

Analog cameras are everywhere,

Mike Rex has boxes full of films!

Large boxes!!!

Shelves full of working analog cameras!

WOW!

I began my search for a P&S cams.

They have the usual AF's focus free etc.etc.etc.

Then hiding on a little corner was a Yashica camera.

It was small...it has rangefinder windows...

and it was...wait...it looks something like...

The Minitec!...

But the name says Yashica Micro Finesse!

Hindi ko na sya binitawan mula nung

nahawakan ko...hahahahaha!!!

Forums on the interweb suggested that

the micro finesse is the same as the minitec.

Same 33mm F3.5 yashica lens.

Minus the force infinity focus.
Forums told me that the Zeiss lens was
the same as the Yashica lens.
Rumors have that Yashica was the
original manufacturer of the lenses on T4,
and other cameras with Zeiss lens.
But issues on rights may have
force yashica to put their own name on the
lenses. What? do I care?
It's not the paint brush who does the stokes,
but the painter himself.

Happy shooting to me.

The camera is already loaded...

A roll of film at the bazaar was very cheap.

Php50 per roll...36 shots and iso 400!

And how much did I paid for the Micro Finesse?

A whooping Php 250.

Take that EvilBay!

I'am not a digi hater,

fact is I have no money to buy one.

Film is sooo different from digital (nuff said).

From the grain, to the way its exposure

latitude has to offer.

Yes, it is expensive.

But I'd rather have physical proofs

of my images, as oppose to digital

images which consists of zeros

and numbers as proofs.

I will stop uploading celly pics starting now,

except of course for documentation of important

moments and/or artworks etc.

I will start shooting my weekly servings on my

nikon zoom 300.

sticker collection

2011-11-05T09:45:00.001+08:00

Some stickers I've collected many

moons ago.

Most are international exchanges.

from Australia

big slaps from THEORY PROPAGANDA

SNUB from the U.K.

One Day was the first International Street artist

invited by Pilipinastreet Plan

14 bolt's stickers are high end,

it has prints on its back that you don't want to

throw away.

Stormie Mills was the guest artist of

Royal Elastics when it held its

skate deck painting competition years ago.

The dude is awesome, we talked and said

that he would send me some stickies.

A few months later, I received a parcel from

him, a box full of caps and high end stickers,

with some photos of his artworks.

Hand writing of Stormie.

Perhaps, the most notorious of all sticker traders

around the planet. Billy the Kid.

MELT from the windy city.

VLT crew from malaysia.

Sabotage from NYC.

We traded when myspace was on its height

of popularity.

Start from Zero is a collective based in HK.

Like our very own PSP.

Biafra used Ed as his icon.

Don't know who's this.

Enik One.

The rain was heavy.

My shell kept me warm and dry though.

I remember texting you.

You said that I should have drop by

your place and have some pesto over pasta.

I should've drop by,

In that way,the next time that we've met,

I can tell you stories above.

Remember, remember,

September 7, 2010

It was our first long rides around the metro.

Its a hell hole for bike commuters.

Jzn and I basically encircled the whole NCR.

We started around Makati to Manila,

where I did some paperworks at

a university for my mum.

Then rode to Quiapo for some

bike parts window shopping.

Took the under streets of the LINE 2

to QC to pick up a flat screen monitor.

Then going back home to Makati

taking the whole stretch of EDSA

on an evening rush hour.

But now of course as a part time

bike courier for PEDALA,

it is easy for me now to circle the metro.

Especially if I have a fragile and

important packs on my back. :)

2011-08-23T16:00:00.001+08:00

Reciprocity Failure is the law by which the sensitivity of film

is lessened through overexposure.

As photography continues to explode

as the chosen medium of our time,

we are continually blasted with images on an every day basis

from billboards and magazine ads to facebook photo albums

and a friend’s cell phone camera.

It’s all to easy with this visual photographic overload

to become desensitized to what’s important to us,

remember what matters most,

and think back to the real reason we pick up a camera and take aim.
