I forget and forget

It was last August 31, 2008 at Harbour Square in Manila that I decided to shoot using film once again. I’ve been itching on putting my lomo babies to good use after some months of neglect in my stash. I brought my film cameras to consume some remaining rolls of 120films and some 135 slides for some short portrait shooting after meeting with other hobbyists (I’m the one wearing the skinny jeans and striped shirt by the way ):

It was my first time to shoot portraits with my film cameras. I actually enjoyed using my Olympus XA2 since I love it’s feather-light shutter. It really has the softest touch needed to trigger the shutter. It’s my alternative camera to the expensive Lomo LC-A.

Other than the XA2, I simply brought the others:

Many of the people during the shoot were amused with the Fisheye2. That camera is my 2nd acquisition among my other toy cameras. I had lomo gas back then really because I was earning from blogging and I just shopped and shopped for cameras. Here’s one photographer who tried shooting me with my Fisheye2’s viewfinder:

I really had a good time having this connection with using film again. What I just don’t like about myself is that I always forget to allocate some time in having my rolls of film develop. I usually have rolls processed and scanned in bulk but I think I’m getting worse in neglecting more than 8 rolls of film processed. And so when the negatives and the CD are delivered to our home, I get this puzzling feeling on when and how I captured the pictures. Hahahaha :p It’s about time I have the rolls processed and scanned and see the results. So far, the count of rolls from the bubble wrap and others at home, I have 12 rolls! Hahahaha….
