Open Your Eyes! Smile!

Was out with my family to Clarke Quay area for late lunch and thought maybe we should slack there until dinner time so that Fitzand can have some outdoor fun there … watching the boats and running around. We had some yummy Japanese food (ramen!) there and then while wifey …

Poorer After Lunch

Sometimes I think I should just bring bread to work and stay in the office for lunch. 🙁 Made a short trip to ThirtySix and ended up with more damages to my (already badly torn) wallet. What’s the loot this time? Finally the elusive Tolne camera is on their shelves! …

A New Home!

It was only last month that wifey told me that she’s got the contractor to come fix up a new cabinet to replace the ‘display wall’ I had in my study room. I used to like the display wall but I’ve got lazy and those photos there has been hanging …

Don’t Be Naked!

After seeing how more people are putting some effort to ‘dress up’ their cameras, I decided to start a page in Facebook to house images of the many wonderful, cool, crazy, weird, funky, cute or sometimes bizarre looking cameras … for everyone to enjoy. Was pretty surprised to find that …

Red Hot In Pink?

After the Diana F+ got a pink coat of paint and a weird name like ‘Mr. Pink’, next in line is the Fisheye 2. Lomography decided that it is time to turn this cool fisheye camera into a ‘Miss Pinky’ (not the name they call it though) … just in …

Blackbird, Fly + Manga?

Just got to know this from CircleRectangle.com … a special(?) edition of the Blackbird, Fly camera … the ‘Sundome Version’. I ain’t into these manga stuffs (not even a bit) but those colors on the white BBF looks pretty neat. Perhaps it will look even hotter if they use the …

Happy Birthday, Fitzand

How time flies! Fitzand has just turned 3 years old today and I took leave to spend the day with him … starting the day with a short birthday party at the childcare he attends. We ordered a Thomas & Friends cake (he personally picked the cake!) and he was …

LB Soft Focus Optic : Analogue Test

After some initial test with my DSLR, I decided to try out the Lensbaby Soft Focus Optic (SFO) on my cheap old film SLR. I know that the Lensbaby lenses can work very well on that SLR but I was a little worried about the metering when using the SFO. …

Photographiques customises?

It wasn’t long ago that I did this interview with Catherine who runs a photography website (in French) … mostly about those ‘dressed up’/customized Holga cameras I used to do. Looking back … it has been a long long while since I’ve worked on any new design for the Holga …

Gakkenflex : Fun!

Finally got my Gakkenflex assembled and ready to go. It was really fun putting the little parts together but not being able to read Japanese (in the instructions) did make me pause a couple of times to look hard before proceeding. Some of the parts/steps were a little confusing (for …
