sifting through my library

I was sifting through some of my old lomo photos and realized that I never posted some of them.

My friend Linsy gave me a roll of 35mm Fuji slide film a while back, but I never got around to using it. So when I sent the roll in to Digiprint, I was excited to see what came back.

Here are a few samples…

As I normally do, I post my favorite shot that comes back from a roll of film. Since I only used a few shots from the roll, I’ll let Kan post her pics from the selection of her shots.

Another roll came back from Digiprint, and here are five of my fave pics from the set.

Hongkong Lomo

For some reason (and for the second time in a row), I have had one roll of unexposed film sent back to me. I have no idea if I’m doing something wrong, if I’m leaving the film in the camera too long (hence the opening of the camera by accident), or if I’m just plain unlucky.

Out of the new roll that came back from Digiprint, this turned out to be my fave take. Ironic, as I took the least time composing or actually thinking about the shot… and it’s not a typically great photo. but I enjoy the cloud formation and weird building tops.

wedding in lomo

I haven’t really been posting a lot this month — partially because I’ve been busy with a lot of other stuff, and also partly because I have been bitten by the “lazy bug”. I have a few Drafts waiting in the wing, but most of them are written half-assed, so I probably won’t even bother editing (much less) publishing them.

However, as a bit of a “get-up-and-go” post, here are a few photos from a lovely wedding I attended last Saturday with a bunch of friends. The bride is Francesca [Babits to friends] Guadarrama and the groom is Graham Russell.

So I had another roll developed from my Lomo. Here are a few picks of the litter:

Yes, the second photo is a bit OOF (out of focus), but I love the expression on Sean’s face.

boracay bagyo

Last week, a few Yehey! employees and myself took a business trip to Boracay to cover The Tides. Yes, it was for work. But everyone that hops over to the paradise island of pleasure knows that there is always time to squeeze in a few hours of fun — grab a Jonas shake, munch on a few longga burgers, bask in the sun, and check out the sights of Boracay.

But as luck would have it, the sun refused to shine and the clouds were aplenty. And of course, with the clouds, came the rain. Three days of it. What is commonly believed to be one of the hottest spots in our fair country turned out to be a drenched and soggy island of unlucky travelers.

[cooped in our room, avoiding the rain]

I try to find consolation by reminding myself that it was, in fact, a business trip. But even that got spoiled by the rain, as I wasn’t able to take many photos of our residence, due to the constant precipitation. Still, we made do with what we were given.

Being that we had a Boracay first timer with us on our trip, we decided to show her around the island and get her acquainted with some of the “usual suspects”. We had our shakes at Jonas, we had our longga burgers along the shore and we would have had a few Jam Jars by the beach, if Cocamangas was still standing… We also took her around D’Mall and various spots within the island, as weather permitted.

Of course, we also did what we came to do — interview some people from The Tides, sample some of their food, and of course, try out their comfy quarters (which we spent a lot of time confined in, because of the rain). But that is a a different story… which should be coming out within the next few days in the pages of Yehey.

All in all, it still was a pleasant trip. After all, anytime you can get away from the office is still a special treat. And I was able to take a few snaps during our stay, albeit limited.

Special thanks to the wonderful staff at The Tides for graciously accepting us as their guests, especially General Manager Pete Gonzales, Admin Manager Norman Tamayo and Food and Beverage Manager Natasha Ricafort.
