Been a while since I last shoot on film so here goes. I could have blogged about it but 2 of my rolls got effed up. First one was because the shop effed' my roll by having problems with the chemicals so they replaced me with a new roll. Ok, fine. Second one, someone effed it up when he accidentally open the camera casing and the film got exposed real good under the hot sun. Not sure how it happened but yea, wasted. Now, this is my third roll, and it survived. Great.
First shot taken at college after tutorial. Was waiting for a friend so I decided to feed the camera with a new roll. Random I know, but wait there's more.
The next day before getting off the car, the clouds turned me on so I took a shot of it.
Lecturer explaining and showing some samples on how to design a character.
Basically, I wasn't paying attention.
And I wasn't the only one not paying attention.
The next day, the blue skies turned me on. It did not capture the colours really well but I think it was good enough. I actually waited for the birds to come just to make it look even more interesting but luck was not on my side and since it was a really hot afternoon, I took the shot.
I really like the clean toilets in Bangsar Village but at the same time, I really hate those who do not know how to keep it clean. BTW, thats my brother in the background, washing his hands.
Shot taken from my window at home after the rain, explaining the blur and clear layers.
This is how I normally take pics out my window.
While waiting for the traffic light, I somehow had this idea, and I wonder why don't they use the empty space for advertisements? People would actually observe the advertisements while waiting for the traffic light and I think it is a strategic place to place an ad.
Senior citizen clapping his hands while walking. Didn't get the perfect timing for this shot, I know.
I really miss high school, reason of why I drop by school often. Everytime I drop by, I see something new. Its either improved or effed!
If I were rich and successful, I would donate. Fix the roof of the scout den, the basketball court, the tennis court and obviously, the toilets.
I must say, she is the most famous teacher in school. She's very open minded too.

A worker cleaning up the mess done by the studens during recess. They had mini stalls all over the tarmac to raise funds for the canteen day.
Some people actually POINT and LAUGH at me when they saw me holding an antique film camera. Like why the hell is that person shooting in film? Cant afford to get a digital camera? Where the hell did he come from, Pluto? What a noob he is, get a real camera la wei!Well, just so you know you high-tech-self-proclaimed-modern-professional-photographer, it doesn't effing matter what type of camera I use because photography, IS PHOTOGRAPHY. Full stop. That simple. Google up the meaning of photography if you still don't get it. You are free to shoot with any form of image-capturing-device including a camera phone because in the end, it's still photography.
So what or how did I react to those high tech people? I simply smile, knowing that I have better equipments at home. I might not have the best, but whatever I have, suits me well.
And so, I was at Taylors College hanging out with my friends when they had an event on safe sex and HIV prevention thingy. Being a virgin, I think I'm still clean and safe. Unless "having sex" with your own hand is dangerous and deadly? Oh well...
I was the shortest person there so all my shots were taken without looking thru the viewfinder. Having a manual focus camera made my life even harder.
I then moved to the other side of the stage hoping for a better shot. Manual focusing, right before I hit the shutter, someone pushed me making the shot go off focus and blurry.
Shortly, it started to rain. Held the camera up as high as i could and pressed the shutter before running back to the car.
I'm getting another roll of film tomorrow. I feel like spending some money on this so called expensive hobby. It is actually, IF ur not making any from it.
