Lomography

I’ve realized that 2010 so far has been the most significant year in my analogue life -- and three words that best describes my 2010 analogue life are Love, Adventure and Expansion!

Half-frames are good cameras for a lot of reason! Especially when it comes with an awesome lens, accurate metering and that vintage look that will always be stylish!

Real Living, one of the Philippine’s bestselling home magazine, has just released their first issue for the New Year featuring various articles on photography and lomography!

When it’s sunny outside with scattered clouds or maybe with just a puff or two, you can never go wrong with this roll bursting with BLUE!

Now, “don’t think, just shoot” has a deeper meaning for me: As I take each shot with my toy cameras, I simultaneously let go of worrying whether I got it right. As I press and let go of the shutter button, I let go of the fear of taking a crappy shot. Read how Lomography has taught me how to breathe easy.

Laoag City is famous for its blue skies – a lomographer’s dream location! You can take a tour of heritage sites featuring Spanish colonial buildings, Philippine-baroque churches and the colorfully busy market in the heart of the city.

This exclusive resort only opens its gate to its members and their listed guests. It was a beautiful resort with white sand and clear waters but with several man-made pools to ensure everyone’s enjoyment! So make sure you know someone who's a member so you can pay Anvaya Cove a visit!

The hot sun and sand, the cool water and awesome consistent waves of San Juan, La Union is my favorite destination in the whole of Luzon! Even if it is 5 hours away from my home in Manila, Philippines, I would gladly leave at 1AM to catch waves early in the morning and then leave after dinner to get enough sleep before work the next day! (OK, so I’ll probably have someone else drive)

I never thought I would be trigger happy during this trip because I don’t particularly like taking pictures of busy streets. Little did I know that I would instantly fall in love with the city scene, the old Spanish buildings, mansions and pretty much everything that depicts this beautiful city!

Sunsets in Boracay are simply amazing! Each shot you take, regardless of what camera you use, is unique and breathtaking. This is my wonderful experience capturing Boracay sunsets and seeing them through plastic lenses.

Taking advantage of the weekend, my friends and I went on a road trip to the beaches of Luzon! We ended up drove all the way to Pangasinan and saw the various beaches including the Hundred Islands and San Juan, La Union, but we stayed here in Bolinao.

For that day, we owned one private, beautiful island. It was probably the most beautiful beach I have ever been to. Indeed, it's an island, but a really small one. It's sand was white but it wasn't the finest. It's water was clear but it wasn't the bluest.. But what made the difference was, that it was ours!!!

A 33 hectare public park located right outside the natural boundaries of the watershed and 40 meters below the reservoir the La Mesa Ecopark was opened to the public. All of its revenue is used for the continuous preservation and protection of La Mesa Watershed, which is the primary source of drinking water of about 12 million Metro Manila residents.

I rarely go to Bonifacio High Street. It’s too out of the way, it’s too hot, it’s too expensive! But because I was desperate to shoot film, me, Shabby and basterda walked the 400 meter street under the hot blazing sun!!!

Fuji Velvia wasn't my favorite film at first. In fact, I bought a bunch of expired rolls of this film, and then after a few test rolls, I wanted to sell off the rest of my stock! Now, I can't seem to get enough of it -- I'm even looking to buy more cameras to use it with!!! Let me show you what I've learned about it by sharing with you my pictures...

The deserted old town within the small town in Bryce, Utah! It could have been mistaken as a ghost town if it weren't for the live horses and the "closed" signs on the shops! :)

It was unplanned! My friends and I were headed towards Tagaytay City but someone mentioned missing going to Enchanted Kingdom (EK). Everyone looked at each other for agreement.. And so, the decision was made: Detour to Enchanted Kingdom (for what could've been the nth time)!!

Canyon Woods is this refreshing “residential resort” in the Metro Tagaytay-Taal area. Even though the subdivision is actually located in Batangas, it offers homes with a good view of the Taal Lake.

Valley of Fire was an amazing experience for me. Among all of the rock formations in Nevada, this is the most beautiful I’ve seen!

Bryce Canyon is a small national park found in Utah. Its not exactly a canyon, but it consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters with different beautiful colors and bizarre shapes such as a "hoodoo."
