I like this roll.. but I think I could be more comfortable with my camera. I also think the aunty’s scanning skills are letting me down.. shall go down and try to scan some hi-res for myself.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Mathew 11:28-30

Things are not easy all the time. When they are hard, sometimes its not our fault but most of the time it is. “Taking on his yoke”, his commands and his path and “learning from him” are not burdensome and in fact should be “easy and light”. When we do that we will find rest. So.. bottom line is follow instruction and “your souls will be at rest”.

Thought of a funny thing to do with each roll of film I shoot.

Sick but getting over it. Its so quiet to be alone at home all day… Fixed up 2 cupboards then all tired again.

Voigtlander Bessa R3a w 40mm Nokton f1.4 lens @ $950

After seeing this guy I was hit by a bout of Gear Acquisition Syndrome last night and thankfully it was only temporary (I think). I went to peninsular plaza today to just looksee looksee and I saw a few things that were on my (unofficial) list.

1. Epson RD1 (MY GOODNESS ITS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL AWESOME LA! YOU SHOULD SEE THE DIALS MOVE.. ahem.. *regains composure*)
2. Lotsa leicas (in particular the M6 caught my eye..) – too expensive
3. The Olympus OM1 (That I’ve been eyeing for cheap over ebay because its so pretty and small) – too small.. can’t even fit in my hand. haha..
4. A beastly 55mm f1.2 nikkor lens – $500..
5. Contax G1 – What? another type of mount??
6. Hassy – too expensive

So after the walkabout, I didn’t even feel like buying anything anymore la. hahaha.. was just happy with the Minolta I already have. Then I also thought to myself that I should be taking more photos instead of looking for new and pretty gear to play with. Managed to move the counter to 26. About 12 more shots to finishing this roll of velvia!

Headed to Plazasing and managed to walk an entire round of the shopping center before my mom appeared. Thought I’d rather buy a soprano sax compared to getting a camera. Took the car home, now waiting to go Yixuan’s bday dinner at east coast. I’m tired! and stomach’s weird. Shall go shower.

I kinda like this photo. Doesn’t matter that its blur, grainy and colorless.

14 rolls down, 30 to go

The pneumatic drill woke me up just now and its still going at it.. sounds like a machinegun.. brings back memories.

Beautiful day to read some papers, go out scope out stuff for buck, fix/sell 3 cameras and also win an olympus OM10 camera on Ebay. Wish me luck.
