Picture Short Story... and thoughts...

]Was feeling bored at home and have this sudden thought of playing with my pictures and random pick pictures from my friends profile. So at the end i edited it randomly according to my feel...

This was taken by my friend, Elaine Chin that are currently at Scotland(If im not wrong). Was kinda attracted to it so i took it from her and just mess it up and so here it is now.......=) (ABOVE)


This was her latest picture which i have crop it out and mess it again according to my mood. Beautiful flowers and currently blossom at this time of the year there.(ABOVE)


This is my beloved pet. Bobby is his name. He is a crossbreed of Rotty and GSD. This picture was taken at 14 1/2 mile training ground.  He enjoys his stay there and i liked to see him running around that big field. I do not own a very big space for him to run so im grateful that he was sent to this training centre. 
A strong boy and growing bigger each month. (ABOVE)


This Picture was taken by my friend, Ruth. They were roaming around Italy, Rome or (somewhere in between). Was kinda interested on the composition of the picture so i took it and as always i mess everything up. It's not that bad in my opinion but i agree that some part i overdo it.=) It was just my expression afterall... Looking at this picture, it reminded me of my trip there at italy few years back. Was given that chance and i enjoyed my stay there and will always remember it for the rest of my life. Sometimes when there is a chance to do something that you might not be able to do maybe in any near future, and it appeared in front of you.. Trust me, grab it and go ahead. You will not regret doing so. like me.. Had my time there and i met a bunch of italian friends that i still keep in touch today.


This picture of me was taken by my friend Gerald Allen. A talented photographer in my opinion. During this period, both me and gerald was active enough roaming around kuching taking picture. We will always have this random plan and snap-snap-snap.... It doesn't matter what is it, we will try to make it interesting. There is this one time, me and gerald was chasing for this sunset around kuching. Trust me that it is so hard to follow but we managed to capture few moments of it. Ended with a smile that day and we head home. Again i mess it up and this is what i got now. Photography days was fun for me. I believe that it is the same for all of you out there in whatever you do. 


Few years back when i freshly got my dslr camera, I snap alot with it. I learn all the technique through experience and friends. It took me maybe almost a month to really play with camera. That time, i was a newbie about cameras. i din't really care about it to be honest. To me, it was just the same camera as others, just to snap pictures. But i never knew that dslr camera... You need alot of skill to play with it. To make your picture look different.. Look cool... and unique. It was just as i thought it is.. only a camera and thats about it. After realising it's capabilities... i start to try to take a serious picture from it. I was invited to this fashion show event by my friends. So i went and somehow, became a un-official photographer. I enjoyed taking pictures there. Was trying my best to take a good picture for i do not have a very good equipment with me that time. Totally basic.... Anyways, while taking some shots here and there, i learn alot about knowing my camera setting for certain lighting. I practice on the spot to roughly know what setting that i must change that instant if i wanna get certain pictures that i want. It was hard but you know, practice makes perfect. At the end of the night, i was kinda satisfy on my artwork as a newbie. Was smiling at it and said to myself that i will get a much better shots in the future.




All of this picture here brings me back some memories that i had previous years... Some stories are not just as what you had read. There are more and maybe i might forget parts of it but again, in my point of view, i believe pictures can make you think back about almost anything at all in your life. Whatever it is, i believe that it has this power to do so. What i liked about memories is... It is the only thing that you can bring around with you. Easy to keep and maybe not that heavy. All will be in your head. Snap-Snap-Snap... I miss snapping around. Maybe i will continue to do so soon. Currently unable to do it due to it's bad condition. Anyways... I hope my camera will be back to my arms soon. And when it do, my mission will once again reset.. Find some new things to shoot.. Different... I don't know. We'll see about it when the time comes. =)

Nature Photography Contest... and Pictures... Photography... Words...



Recently i was looking at lots of picture. Really miss taking photos around my home town. My sis told me why don't i join the Green Heights Mall Nature Photography contest? Was kinda not interested at first but after looking at the photos in there, i felt happy for some reason. Not long after that i decide to dig up my old photos and just sign them up for fun. It was not the best but just for the sake of enjoying the whole process of it. 
To be honest, i kinda miss taking picture. Last time i use to walk around and bring my camera around with me. Wherever i go, my camera bad will always be with me. Enjoying snapping around town or at home.. Did some experiment on shooting technique and so on.... Usually i like my photos non edited. I enjoy viewing it just the way it is. The natural colour and texture. It's just pure beauty... What you see is what you get. It's just as simple as that... Sometimes if we edit too much, it would be fake eventually.. But again, it's not wrong... Just personal preference. 

Erm, random snapping is what i like best. It's because you will get a random results and the picture will be more natural that way. I usually did that on portrait photography. I usually will take them for a distance away. That is when they din't notice it and i'll just snap according to the mood. It doesn't matter if sometimes you don't get what you want, but every picture is priceless cause it only happen on that particular moment and guess what, you caught it... See... it's not that bad right??? You kept that memories for them and for yourself... When the time comes, you can share it with them and laugh all you want about it. I believe every picture has stories behind it. What happen during this particular time and maybe for some, that picture is when you spend time with your family and friends or it can remind you of something that you might forget. Well that is what i think and so far i believe in it and i trust yes it's true. 

Colours... Some picture i like the dramatic colours... Some i like soft.. Well it depends on your own likings right? Photography is just so subjective. In this area we barely can say everything you see is correct or wrong. Correct me if i'm wrong. I mean, how do you know that is this way and not that way? How do you know this must be side and not top or bottom? It's just a matters of personal preference. But in certain ways that i think some can be judge or to be corrected, is during sharing. They wont actually say you are wrong but they will tell you if you take this photo in a certain ways, it will stand out more. Something like that... Sharing is good cause from there, we will improve more and learn more from those who has more experience in this field. This 6 pictures here are those that i pick for this contest. It's not the "BOMB" but just for fun... I never actually join any competition before but i just wanna enjoy the whole process of it. It's okay if i don't win anything but i get the chance on viewing people's artwork and look at the beauty of it. This last picture here is one of my favourite. I took this picture using a digital camera... Was having a simple reunion with my fellow friends and we did enjoy the whole day together. It was not easy to meet all the time due to different working path and life so this is the moment where we really enjoy our presence together. That is some of the story behind it... =) Will try to be active in photography soon and will post more in near future.

"Going Home..." - Expression of my heart...

          Each year, we meet new friends... Some we meet them since we were a small kid, Kindergarten. Kindergarten is always where everything start... friendship. Some might start way early than that... In family side of the story.. relatives. Some we might be close with and some might not... In all this, it depends on how our journey is with them... In short, relationship between human... Family or friends, it's all the same. God created friends and relatives for us. He send them as our companion in life, so we won't get lonely and bored. Companionship in life is important... without them, we might be lost cause no one will guide us or advice us in things that we do... In this 23 years of my life, i'm grateful and bless to have lots of wonderful family and friends around me. I love them as if they are my own sis and bro in blood. Any one of them( family or friends in any particular ), will be the one who we fool around with and never ashame to do things that might lead us to trouble.. Thats why we called that, Buddies. Close and Best friends. Eventually, we will feel like they are our another half and some... the puzzle that complete your life.
          In less than then 2 years... One going home after another. Some might take it as something so sad, thats nothing wrong.... But i'm trying to take it as they are going home... Life i see is so precious. We live once and die once. Enjoying your life is good.. But there is always a limit in enjoying it cause you wouldn't want to waste it just like that right? Enjoying in a right manner is good but it's out of hand, that's bad. Again sometimes, no matter how careful you are, when it's time for you to go home, you must go... That's what i believe. Since yesterday till today and few days ahead soon... Especially today, i come to realise that i feel that God is teaching us in ways that we don't understand. In this 2 years till today, i've attended funerals of my friends mostly and today relative. In all of them, only 1 are older than me and the rest are younger and mostly my age. To top it up, those are whom i grew up together,,, although not close but still we are all family and friends.
          One morning yesterday around almost 2am, i was about to make my way to dreamland but suddenly was interfere by my sister. I heard my door was open and my sister went in and said she wanna sleep with me tonight. I thought it was weird cause she always slept with my parent. I question her and she said my "Nenek" had just left us. I was not shock to be honest... was kinda blur... (my mom side, has another G.grandmother and "nenek" was her daughter).... I thought it was the older one but as i slowly think, then i learned that it was her daughter, mother of my uncle. I feel a little sad. The 3 of them has been together ever since before i was born into this world. So this will give you a big picture of how close they are. Since i was a small kid, i often visited them at kampung which is kinda far away from where i am now. Till 1 day as i grew older i din't make any visit anymore until today.
          My G.grandmother is about 96 years old(if im not wrong) and that makes her the only G.grandmother that i have left. She is still strong but due to his eyesight problem before and was not treated, she became blind(not fully.. can seem to see lights) and slightly deaf, ... she is now just sitting down most of the time. My nenek was the only person who took care of her all her life and her son(my uncle) is busy working sometimes so that makes it, my nenek was the only person who took care stuff at her home. To me i see her as someone that like to talk and laugh. Although most of the time i don't really understand cause she spokes in Iban. I'm half iban by the way(MOM's). Kampung friends often came and just hang around at her house early in morning and talk or do whatever they do there like always. Now that she is gone, everything seems gloomy and lost.
          After so many years, i came back to that kampung to see her for the last time and send her home. The feeling was rather calm when i was on my way there. As i arrive at that area, everything has changed. Better roads and facilities. In front of the house i took a deep breath and walk in. Everything seems normal and she was in her "bed". Took some time and i went to see her for a while. Then i looked at my G.grandmother. She was sitting alone in one corner if the wooden house, looking aimlessly at her surroundings as if she can see. She actually din't have any clue whats going on and all she thought was maybe someone was gonna Nikah. We all smile when she asked that we is going to nikah... Even if we were to tell her the truth, she will not really get the whole news into her head cause she is really old now. But sometimes at one point, she seems like she know whats going on. Mother's instinct... I felt sad everytime when i looked at her. My nenek was her only eyes, hand and legs. Now that she is not there, my G.grandmother seems lost in my eyes. Time to time she will call her daughter's name to asked her to start the fire and cook some water and prepare food cause it's morning. It gave me pain in my chest.
          My mom told me that she stay awake the whole night ever since my nenek was gone till now. Havent rest at all and she seems normal.. But again she is kinda clueless... But at one point, she seems to understand the whole situation and talk normally then burst into tears at one point. Somehow as mother, she will eventually knew it. But she is strong. Thats how she is. During the moment my nenek was about to be taken away from the house, every nenek and aunt burst into tears. I was there standing and watching them carried her bed away. My G.grandmother suddenly said, what to do if she wants to go, just let her go. Dont forget to bring her shirt for her.(in iban dialect...)... But then after a while she will forget about it and become clueless again.
          I joined the convoy to the cemetery and the place was kinda muddy. It was my first time to be in that iban traditional ceremony kind of style. Mom said it was kinda a pagan style... Grave there was really old and how far it goes i dont know. After done burying her we went back. My uncle cried from yesterday i think and stopped not long after the burial. One of the uncle there was crying too. He was sort of the person that always came by and talk to my nenek. Friends... I heard that they are also a quarrel buddy... In his iban dialect, i heard whatever that has came out from his mouth. It was something like, " now that you are gone, who am i gonna quarrel with now?" I felt kinda touch at one point. Pain at the same time. If i were in their shoe.. Her son( my uncle) and that man... i think i somehow know how it felt. It felt so lost......
          To see how that relationship works.. mother, son, friend... it is something that i feel so precious and beautiful. Words cant describe it. In this one whole day there, i constantly observing my surroundings and see the beauty out of it. Some moments and experience that i will never forget. If you think this is the end of the story, here is one continuation.
          Remember that you read somewhere up there that i mention i was told about the news around almost 2am? Near that time, somewhere near jln song something had happened. After few hours i receive news about my nenek, i was woke up by my phone, beeping to let me know that there was a text for me. As i grab it and read the content... I, once again was blur for a few moment until i slowly let the text message soak into my head. I learned that my friend had just past away. Car accident.. crash into a tree and burst in flames. Now i was shock... at first i was hoping that it was not true but as i asked around, i appeared that the news was positive. Another lost for me in less than half a day.
          I was inform by my friends that they will be visiting him at night. So i said that i would like to do so too. Everything happened so fast that im still unable to fully soak all the stuff into my head yet. As night approaching, i went to visit him as planed. Arrived at the place i saw most of my friends. One of them cried... He was one of his closest friends back in primary school, secondary and still is now. I felt sad looking at him. Everyone asked my to pay my last respect to him. I was kinda reluctant to do so... I was kinda scared at first. I asked one of them how is he? Is it bad? All he do was looked at me and said just go and see him. I went but i decided to move back... i join the crowd again. Feeling slightly nervous.. i kinda knew back in my head how i will see him but again i asked the same question to my friend. This time he answered me and i took the step to see him for the last time. This time i was rather calm and did what i was told.
          I sat at the chair and kept quiet for quite a while. Looking at my friend beside me sobbing, i felt that i don't know what to do. Not a word that came out from my mouth. I only can keep quiet and be still on my own. After everything was done, i went to supper with 3 of my friends. We talk about it and i felt more relax after that.. We shared stories about our moments with him. It was all beautiful... The last time i saw him was during our reunion and that's it. Now that he went home, all we can do is to move on and keep those memories with us. Tomorrow will be his funeral burial day... Some of us are sending him but some can't due to unavoidable matters. Everything seems to happen so fast... But that's life. Some will go and some will be born today. In this case, i feel a little unhappy with how they go. Both died in a unacceptable death. My nenek was stung by a small bee that actually took out her whole life just like that. She was in deep pain... allergy to the stung. My friend.... by looking at the picture in the paper and reading it, will tell you how he died.... it was really heart breaking... It was a great pain. But all in all, maybe it's just their time in certain ways that we don't understand. All we can do is to pray for them.
          Since all this incident, i started to take life more seriously. I appreciate everything that i have although i still do want something else sometimes but most of all i learn that, make your life more meaningful all the time and spend everyday wisely. Live your life to it's fullest extent... Have no regret one day when you are going home. Tell your friends and family how much you love them... In all this events that i've been, i can see that having each other by our side is important. They will be part of our life eventually somehow helping us to build who we are today. That Relationship that God has grant it to you, is special. Family or friends... We need each other all the time. Trust me, nobody wants to be alone... In all this event happening, i would say that never think that life is very long. It sometimes can be short. I always said that " life is just to short to be sad"... Live it like there is no tomorrow. Do your best everyday and make the best out of it... More importantly, be happy with it... Thank God all the time for everything and for the life that He has grant upon you.
          Parting is sad but where there is a beginning, there will surely be an ending also... Parting with someone you love is hard but life must go on. They did theirs and you must continue yours. This is life.... It is just like a roller-coaster.. There are times that you will be up and sometimes down. To those who went home, pray for them and wish them a beautiful life ahead. They are home anyway and they will be well taken care of and there is no need to worry for them. I praise you Lord and thank you for everything you have gave me. Bless me lord and bless those who are in need of your blessings. Guide me in everything i do in my life and also help me Lord in any of my difficulties. In your name i pray, AMEN!

Looking Back...

          A minute ago, i was about to get myself ready to dream land... While i was doing that i saw this small box filled with papers and letters... I took it and opened it... I took everything out and read it one by one... guess what.... It was all letters from my childhood days... from primary school till i ended my secondary school days. As i go through everything slowly, i smile and laugh a little about what had been written in that letters... It was so funny and cute. Things that we all did when we are a kid are really priceless. Do you remember writing love letters or create some conversation through letters and pass it around to anyone in between so you will get their attention??? It is somehow... a THING that we kids do... Most of its content really make me misses all of my friends... Most of them are missing somewhere and cant seem to get hold of them. But IT is here nowadays to connect everyone so chances of finding them might be high.. hehe.. From that letter.. friends that once we regard them as best friend, now seem to be just a friend.. But the truth is, we actually still somewhere deep in our heart sees them as one of our dear close friend. Funny thing is, we choose to ignore it... Those letters really brings back lots of wonderful memories.. I really miss them dearly and hope to meet them and talk... It will be fun laughing around while sharing our childhood memories... isn't it??? I saw some of my medals hanging on my bedroom wall... from primary to secondary years... was gazing at them and reflect back all the events that i joined. It was a special moment to me for receiving all those medals. All those events that i work so hard, pays me back with a price... I am very happy about what gain from there. 
          All this letters, papers, medals, certificates and stuffs.... really brings back joy to me, and also at the same time makes me realise that how much that i have grown ever since then... When i was a kid, i used to say that i wanna grow up faster and worked and so i could enjoy lots of benefits as a grown up person.. But as we grew older, we start to realise that being a young adult is not as fun as we used to think how it really is. As we grow, we will definately have more responsibilities and something else behind us that we must carry.... funny thing is that as we grow, we wish that we were a small kid again so that we could care less and just focus to have fun and enjoy our life to the fullest. We never actually have to worry so much about alot of things... All we have to do is, HAVE FUN. Time really past by so fast that most of it, we dont even realise it ourself. Life is great... We got the chance to live in it and to enjoy it and to receive all the benefits it it. How the outcome will be?, that will depend on how we manage it and how we live and want it to be... God gave us life.. We should be thankful and live life to its fullest extent. Just remember this, Living here in this world is just one chance in our life time... So make it sweet and meaningful to yourself. After we go "home" soon, all we left here is just our memories and prints somewhere and our generation will continue it for us and it goes on so and so... So dont make a big fuss about small and unimportant matters.. Just TRY to move on and smile... Life is just too short to be in a bad mood all the time. Right? To all my friends and readers,... I wish you guys all the happiness in this world and may God bless you guys always. Have fun while you have the chance and be thankful for it. Thank our God for this give of life... ***HUGS***

Things that you, me and we want... once again from me randomly...

   All of us here wanted everything for ourself. Anything that gets our attention, THATS what we will get... I used to think like that and sometimes get what i want in any ways that i'm capable off... We never actually think what is the consequences or anything at all. We will usually desire it so much that we day dream about it... Thats us.. We human are so weak... I was thinking lately... Why should i buy this? What's the benefits of doing so? Is it worth it? If i use this money to buy this stuff, will i regret, for it will cause myself low in pocket money? Will i have enough after that? Something like that... We will never get satisfy in most of the stuff that we have. We will wanting to want more of it... Sometimes i was thinking if im grateful enough for everything that i have and owned. Recently i got myself a temporary work at some bookstore. I earn my own pocket money and experience paying bills and spending right amount of cash everyday for me to survive throughout the whole month. For the 1st few month i fail to do so... By the 1st or 2nd week, im already out of cash... SIGH!!! But then i'm getting better now.. at least i manage to hold on till the 3rd week before the salary is out again.. I have to admit that i am a BIG money spender... Not in things or stuff BUT in FOOD!!! I am a big food lover myself... i eat alot and spend most of my time eating. I know it's not healthy but i really love food. Anyways, recently i was reading this book about those who are poor in some other side of the world and this line struck me.. "We don't want a house but we want a HOME". People there want something that they need so badly and most of them cant even own it till now. I saw some interesting pictures there.. Their food and lifestyle is just so simple, clothing, not so old but slightly dirty, no shoes or sandals... Schools, outdoor.... a house that they call HOME, is just made from mud or straw... They are so thankful and this makes me think alot... You know, we all should be thankful for all the things that we had and given to us. Nowadays we  want all the advance cellphone, computers, and etc... But then again do we really need them in the first place?? hmmm??? I mean is it necessary? I would have to say that, im not a goodie and yeah, i do have those bad habits myself... i WANT!!!! and thats the problem... It's not wrong to want a thing or two but as long as we do it in a control manner and tone down here and there, i think we should be doing alright at the moment.. Just as long as we practice it, we wont stray away too far i HOPE! You know, by earning our own pocket money... i think it helps to make us realise that money is not so easy to earn and every cents of it counts. Spending wisely is advice and by learning to save some, we will gain alot from there. All those experience will make us see how hard our parent have worked in order to feed us and to give us good education. They try their best to give us what we want and most  of the time we never think that by asking alot from them, wont they feel burden cause... i mean they can use that cash to pay alot of bills or buy food supply for us. Instead of spending it on unnecessary items, might as well they save it for us... Nahh.. not all of us will think that way but then again also not most of us will want to see it that way. In this case, there are so many point of views about it and everyone can debate on it and bla... bla... bla... There is no right or wrong on how you see it but of course there will come to a point that there is something wrong in somewhere, somehow. But no harm in trying to understand it and do something about it. Thats what i feel and think.. It might be random but thats the truth about how i felt... All this, we can start by changing ourself first and adjust our own attitude then slowly to the other steps that will come in the process... 


*Another random thought from me...=)

Thought Of The Day...

  Now is more important than tomorrow.. What happen now determine what will happen tomorrow. You cant always wanna hope for tomorrow when now is neglected by your own thinking.. Sometimes, you cant always hope for what you want, but you can always build it slowly to get it.. As human, we have lots of weakness.. With prayers and His guidance, AMEN we can do it.. We will never know when we will be gone.. Like i always said, "Life Is Just Too Short"... It is better to think about now and give your best out of it like there is no tomorrow rather than always looking too far ahead all the time. It is nothing wrong to do so but focusing on it too much might take away most of your precious moment with your friends and love ones now.. We can always think about future and etc ahead but how sure are we that we might still be here in this world to see it? I'm not trying to say that you wont get to see it but looking at my friends around me that has gone to somewhere better and i was not there for them makes me feel regret and it somehow taught me that every moment in your life is just priceless and it also shows me that we also can just go HOME anytime..., i think the moment now is much more important than future... It is more or less the same, what you do now will determine a better tomorrow.. So sometimes why think so much ahead till you feel so hard, unhappy and worried.. If you can't even handle what is happening now, then what more to say about tomorrow and the other day ahead... So guys, those who read this.. I just wanna say that i'm happy that in this life, God has given me this opportunity to meet with all of you and i'm very thankful for everything that i receive and have.. I love you all like my own family... Good or bad, we are all just human after all.. So, live your life to the fullest and don't worry too much ahead.. We can slowly build it... Just remember, prayers is always important. Daddy god is always there for us. Seek him and he will guide you. HUGS!!!! -Every Moment Counts- Jim's thought of the day...=)

Phone Photography...

Ever since my camera went into the "hospital" for some checkup, i do not own any more other camera to take picture. But then... i just realise that i never tried to take picture with my phone. By the way, fyi... my phone is a nokia phone, Nokia 6120c. 2 mega pixel. Was wondering around my house this whole day to search for my little hamster that is currently gone missing. Kinda miss her... But still hope to be able to find her soon.. Was searching till i bump into this birdy that is currently in a mouse cage! I think my dad caught it and keep it there. FYI, my house exactly on the top of my room, at the roof... It's their nesting ground. I'm kinda wondering among all the house here in my neighbourhood, why did they choose my house. My dad and i are trying to clear them out but they keep coming back for more! hahaha.. i think at  last we kinda gave up and just let them be. Anyway, i was looking at the bird at its eye and notice that it looks kinda sad... I snap it with my phone and keep it. That birdy must be lonely. Looking at it makes me feel sad thinking of my little lost hamster. But i really hope that she will appear suddenly soon. Phone nowadays are kinda hi-tech... Can do almost everything with it. Girls like it very much. Something that learn about my phone today, it is not that bad actually. The photos that i took using it are not small... maybe around medium range... So i snap one picture of the wall... Quality, erm... if you are not the choosy type, well i have to say it is not bad. For now i only have this two.. Will try to snap some more with my phone. Although i have my phone with me for a long time already but it seems that im not so good at it yet. More to explore...

Fujica ax-1


this camera as stated above, Fujica ax-1... I just receive this from my uncle i think few days ago. It looks interesting to me. It's old but i love it somehow.. Film operated, and it still look kinda new. By the way, this camera belongs to my grandpa, so i guess we all can roughly guess that this camera is too mature! Have been trying to clean it this few days and search some information about it on the net but still i'm kinda blur about this camera. So far everything seems to work well but the view finder is all blank! I'm not so sure where should i fix or clean so i dare not do any detail cleaning on this camera yet. Maybe i'll try to get it repair soon.. and hopefully this time this camera can be repair and i can use it! Can't wait.. Film photography... Have been doing some snapping with film camera nowadays but din't get the time to get it develop. Kinda curious of what will the outcome be.. If you see my previous blog, i'm using that olympus camera for my experiment. So far so good to me. I try my best to compose my picture in any ways that i can but i have this feeling that the outcome of it later will be something that i won't expect. Good or bad it's up to the results later... But again, if it is not good, i will try again. Will keep the photo updated after i finish developing it soon(i hope)... Anyways, i'll try to get this baby fix and we'll see how it works. For now, browse around guys and see if you might know anything that you might wanna share with me.. God Bless!

Canon, Canonet QL19( Found it at my aunt hz...)



                 Found this old baby at my aunt house recently... i never know it was there even before i was born... but then when i flash back, i think and if i'm not wrong, i did played with this camera 12 years back... hahahaha... so daaammm long... i know right???? Now it looks so rusty but still clicking. I try to clean what i can here but none seems to work. So have been contacting friends and ask where can i repair this camera and at last i found the place.. Empress Studio(if i'm not wrong)... somewhere at india street in front of little lebanon. Was very happy when i first found out that this place can repair it... BUT... hmmm... he told me that better to keep it, cause if really-really wanna repair it, it will cost me alot. But at least i tried... I love that shop. Full of old camera and i love the atmosphere in there,,, it feels so old school. Anyways, the good news of my whole outing today was, at least i know where i can find expired films now, and repair my camera. Still, i feel very unfortunate that this camera cannot put into good use but to sit at the shelves and to be displayed. I'm gonna work hard and maybe when time comes, will go back there again and try to get it repaired. And oh ya, if you wanna know more about this camera, maybe can try to visit this website: http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?CanonCanonetQL19.html~mainFrame

Olympus SUPERZOOM 800- Part 1

Lately was thinking about black and white photos. Was kinda wondering if nowadays people still want to use it or not. That kind of picture that will set you thinking about the past or the story behind that picture was taken.. A black and white photos.. Especially when it has this dirty look on it.. Very antique in my opinion.. That dirty look that i mention, in other words.. it is called noise. Kinda like there are multiple of small dots around... hahaha... some people, i notice never like that thing we called noise. Well, everyone has their own liking. Anyways, i found my father's old camera.. Olympus SUPERZOOM 800. It was in the cabinet for quite a long time. So i took it out and take a look at it.. and have this thought of experimenting it with a expired black and white film.. i feel kinda excited when i'm wondering what will the outcome be... For your info, this camera is not that very old.. It is still old but not as old as the really heavy type from the past. hahaha... Can still consider average la... For now i'm not sure what i'm really gonna do yet.. how to start with it and so on.. Since its setting is just like that so i'm really gonna have to full use if my experience in photography to handle it... So in part 2, i will try 2 post out the picture that i take... Hopefully it works... Well, no harm in trying.... Till then....=)
