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.
