Tales From The Darkroom

META batch 14

The perfect way to have a graduation dinner is to have it done on the most resourceful way. Dinner with candlelights (forced by Meralco), balcony set-up, chillax music (my small boombox playing Bossa N' Marley), red wine (and some punch with a punch), great food (lengua!) and having to spend it with passion-driven artists who were with me for the past two weeks. It was a great experience. New friends and new self-discovery.

LUAU WOW! That's how we want our end result to be for our VMOKraPi, a long awaited vacation!

The week's almost over. The weather was bad. And I'm missing my brothers.

I decided to go home tonight since it's blackout everywhere and I've to read a case we're tackling for our last day at META. I'm goin' to miss my classmates. Oh and Ver's goin' to miss me! Bwahaha.

Debut? B?

Erika, the debutant, with my fuma-fashion shoot. :)

I don't know what I did during my long hiatus in shooting events, all I know is that my absence in the scene makes me want to explore more.

Headache sky-rocketing

The title says it all. Stress level up north. So help me God...

I'm having the itch again. It has to wait though. Two weeks should be fast.

I'm quoting meme from her LJ:

"You don't have to buy from anyone.
You don't have to work at any particular job.
You don't have to participate in any given relationship.
You can choose.
You alone steer the course you choose
in the direction of where you want to be today,
tomorrow or in any distant time to come.
You hold the tiller.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You can decide what you want and go after it.
It's always your next move."

Very apt.

Drippin' LomoLove

So the rain poured, but that didn't stop us from spreadin' the love. It was a fantastic night, frustrating at first but nevertheless it was all good. We unveiled the wall at around 8 and the room was jampacked since. The bands started playin' right after the rain and we definitely danced the night away!

Sa lahat ng pumunta, maraming salamat! Masayang mabasa sa ulan!

The LoveWall will be there 'til October 9. Punta kayo! :)

The darkroom, the making, the viewer and drip trip

After cleaning the darkroom the other day I finally get to see it with an enlarger on it. Thanks to Ickay for trusting me with her stuff. Now where to buy chemicals...

Embracing the moment

"I take everyday-life pictures because I think life is important." - Nana Yamamoto, Japanese ACC student

I just got back from a small gathering of photojourns. It was a despedida party for Nana, who explored Manila for a week and got culture shock with Baseco.

Boy oh boy, I am so inspired with what I saw and what I heard tonight. All straight from the heart. I felt passion in their craft, they may not have noticed but it gave me goosebumps. There was a moment when Kat asked for my opinion and I felt blank. I was spaced out. I felt I wasn't worthy for an opinion, just yet. Their presence made me feel that I'm doing it right this time...

LomoLove making

Selecting pictures wasn't a problem at all... Hello?! Lomo!

I heart Lomo!

Ah, labor of love!

Don't forget to bring your camera this Saturday! This is going to be fun fun fun!

15 minutes of grin

He went online. How timely. I was just browsing some old files last night when I saw his pictures. I missed him. He's more mature, more focused and better built. Good for him. Bad for me. Why do they have to be mature after me? Or is it the other way around?
