film photographs


Cats of Baguio, Wright Park
Olympus mju zoom, Kodak 200 film

My love affair with film photography started in 2003.

I've always been interested in photographs of everyday life, and I wanted to try things out myself. I began using a Canon FTQL SLR that belonged to my grandfather. My first film was a Kodak Max 400 that I found in a cupboard, untouched for months (probably years?). Before that I was just an ordinary photo-taker, snapping away using a Kodak Advantix camera my parents gave me for Christmas a few years earlier.

It's an expensive hobby, but when you get your scans back and 3 out of 36 shots look great to you, it feels like you've won a million pesos. Which isn't much really, but somehow worth it.

I take snapshots of everyday things and scenes I find interesting. You can see more of my recent film shots on my Flickr page.
