Bending In Japan 2012 (Part 1)

Finally I’ve got internet connection (if I excluded the one I got at the pub last night)! Was putting up at a friend’s place in Yokohama and she don’t recall her Wifi password … and thus I was ‘disabled’ for a couple of days. Now that we’ve checked in at Prince …

The ‘311 We Care’ Strap

I was eyeing this white special edition strap from Wotancraft + Annie Barton 1972 that a seller was giving away with the purchase of his Wotancraft bag. I have a Wotancraft bag and didn’t want to buy another (I’m broke!), so I decided to just forget about the strap some …

Me vs Developing Tank

After years of hesitation, I was finally convinced to give DIY film development of black & white film a go. All thanks to Jimmy who even helped me pick up a set of the developing kit when he bought his recently. I rushed over to ThirtySix during lunch to pick …

Kirameki, So Pretty

A week ago … I got a little upset when the DHL guy arrived with a package from Lomography and in the package was a Diana Mini (the Jiyu version) instead of the Kirameki Diana F+ I ordered. Damn! I could have avoided such problem had I bought it locally …

Three White Ones

Can’t Get Crazier! Meow!

Just the other day … while gulping beer with Jimmy from ThirtySix … he told me that Superheadz will be launching some new ‘toy’ digital camera and it has something to do with cats. Cats?? Not sure if he had one too many beer or he wasn’t suppose to let …

Black + White Arrived

The postman came knocking today and handed me a parcel from Japan. Yeah … I was pretty excited to receive it because in it … the white edition of the Fujifilm Natura Classica! I struggled for a short while when I heard about this white version and decided to *cough* …

Kipon Tilt Adapter

My dream of getting a tilt-shift adapter to use on my Olympus E-P1/E-PL1 went crashing out of the window when I found out that a Japanese company/shop was coming out with one that costs about US$400. That’s a lot of money for an adapter and I gave up all hopes …

LC-A+ In Tokyo : Last Roll

It sucks to not have any photos (film) to scan because that is a sign that I haven’t been having fun lately. On the other hand … it sucks even more to have some film to scan but just can’t find time to do it. Okay … let’s rule out …

Lonely No More

Ever since I found that pancake lens to use on my Nikon FA … I find myself not wanting to remove it (from the body) and thus my 50mm lens got neglected for a while. I took pity on it and managed to find a good condition black Nikon F3 …
