Well guess what…… don’t think i’ll be getting internet at home anytime soon. The ‘phone guys’ claims that I will have to wait till the 26th of March before they can dig the ground and get the cables done.
Why 26th of March…… beats me.
Why they still need to get the cabling done when I have houses all around me – some of which has already been there for 20 years – with phone connections……. beats the hell out of me.
At work but not too busy at the moment…….
So far, I have only been shooting ISO 400 B & W films. Great for general purpose but the trade off , you get rather unpredictable results especially if the contrast of the scene is very high (which, thankfully is not very often for me).
Cambodia was sunny, Egypt was very sunny….. wasn’t too impressed with a few of the shots.
Thus, I am currently experimenting with some ISO 100 B & W films. But which ones?
I bought 2 rolls of Fuji Acros 100 and 2 rolls of Rollei Retro 100. Currently shooting my first roll of Rollei Retro 100. Can’t wait to finish the roll and see the result. I’ve heard that Rollei Retro 100 and Rodinal yields superb ‘old time’ images.
Finally done developing, scanning and indexing the pictures I took during my recent travels…. Huh.
Now I just have to go through them closely and sort the likes and dislikes. Shouldn’t take too long so stay close

Sorry for the tiny images that I have been posting over the past weeks. The updates were done using the wordpress application for my iPhone and that is just how they turned out to be. You get to view a larger image by clicking on the image itself (troublesome, i know ;p)
I took quite a bit of pictures with my iPhone throughout my travels recently. Looking back at the images, I feel that my perception of the surrounding and also the direction of my photography with my iPhone is somewhat different from when i shoot with film. Thus, I think it might be a good idea to separate and present my photography with the iPhone in a separate place.
This is where Posterous comes in. It is simple and easy to both set up and use – just like photography with the iPhone =D

Yes, i will be leaving for Egypt tonight for 6 days and then to Cambodia for a little less than 2 weeks.
This is going to be my first major trip with my rangefinders and more importantly, films.
Bringing along 3 camera bodies (MP, Zeiss Ikon and Oly XA) and about 40 rolls of film.
Will try to post updates as i go along.
However i won’t be developing my films on the journey, thus the images from my iPhone 3Gs will have to suffice (…like the picture above).
ps: That is my camera journal. I started keeping one a few weeks ago and it is going great. Helps me remember and learn………
