Background Music: Beach House - Norway

Day 33: The bucket list [23/08/10]

one day at a time.

Day 34: The obligatory monthly gratuitous picture of yourself: August [24/08/10]

i had a haircut.

Day 35: At last! [25/08/10]

after countless disappointing visits to various bookstores over the past one month. i sound like i don't have anything else better to do.

as a matter of fact, i don't.

365: Day 28 - 32

Background Music: Women - Eyesore

Day 28: My two pair of Chucks [18/08/10]

Day 29: Photographs of distant memories [19/08/10]

out of all the photos i've taken this year, i especially liked this set from Ipoh. so much so that i decided to vintage-ify and printed the photos i loved from that set, which was basically 80% of the album. i kinda wish i could capture that feel of carefree and spontaneity from that outing again in the near future because my recent photos feel contrived and robotic.

Day 30: Fallen leaves [20/08/10]

Day 31: Metamorphosis [21/08/10]

i thought it'll just be the two of us literary-minded folk, but in the end we dragged the entire posse. i have mixed feelings about that.

Day 32: Pornography! [22/08/10]

i survived one month through this project. not too shabby! it kinda changes everything now that i am obligated to take photos every day, but honestly you can't beat doing something you love doing every day.

365: Day 27

Background Music: Gas - Königsforst 1

Day 27: Fisheye 1.5 [17/08/10]

this little piece of metal fell off my Fisheye viewfinder and i cannot seem to put it back onto the viewfinder. and now the viewfinder cannot be slid back onto the Fisheye's hotshoe - it keeps sliding back out without that piece of metal attached to the bottom of the viewfinder. i has a sad.

--

Sunday, i finally took the last few shots on my 4th roll of film. Monday, i got the film developed. the pictures came out much better than i expected. i'm getting the hang of using a Fisheye, sans the viewfinder which i realized greatly limited the view of my surroundings. i suppose the essence of lomography is its spontaneity, and to think about your shots and how it'll turn out only makes the process laborious. i guess pointing-and-shooting is sometimes the best way to go.

now i'm looking at the Fisheye and i'm lamenting over my tiring day having to deal with the death-grip of bureaucracy and the consequences of not following them. i'm thinking about how i want to take my Fisheye and take the next flight out to somewhere far away, and letting the spontaneity of lomography take over me and make me forget all the shenanigans of work. i'm weighting out the trip to Cambodia Angeline proposed to me, and now it feels like i'd really love to follow her and her friends, even if the timing might not be suitable. i've barely gotten any work started, and here i am, thinking about taking a vacation?

why not? after all my failures to be a more responsible 24 year old and the consequences of seeing all this shit hit the fan causing a clusterfuck of faggotry?

why not?
