Dumaguete in film - Vivitar PN2011

This is the test roll from the toy camera i purchased in a thrift shoft (Alymae Surplus), and i wasn't even sure if it worked because the store lady told me all their cameras are no longer functioning. I bought it anyway because i had a feeling she didn't know a lot about cameras. I had a feeling she thinks that cameras need batteries to work and this one doesn't require one and that is also why it is very light.

I was very satisfied with how sharp it captures landscape. It is sort of a wide angle camera after all. By the way, it also can shoot fake panoramas. Fake because of the black plastics that show on the upper and bottom frame giving the illusion of a wide picture, a panorama.

Shot with Kodak ColorPlus 200

Liloan, Cebu - April 2009

I was browsing old photos today and found some we took last April 2009 when my friends and I went on a short trip to Liloan, Cebu as a get-together outing. I shot these using the old point and shoot camera.

getting crafty

Been doing craft work recently. Just a few mini-journals, jars and gift tags.




We also had a Christmas party last thursday, i was late because i had to finish wrapping the gift box i was giving away as my present as secret santa to marianne.


I cut myself making this box (ouch!) but i am proud to have created something that looked nice and functional after wiping away those drips of blood.

I had some gift tags done but i haven't been able to take pictures yet.

Btw, my project 365 is almost finished. I can't wait to finish!

Today's lunar eclipse. 10 December 2011, as seen in Dumaguete City, Philippines, around 10pm onwards.

A series of photos of the lunar eclipse i took today. I realize now that the first three shots appear to have more dark areas than the later ones (which should be the other way around). I modified my shutter speed to a slower one right after the third or fourth shot.

Anyway, this is a first for me. The stars were spectacular as well but i couldn't get all the stars and the moon to be visible in one frame. I don't know how... :(

Handmade notebook

I hand-made a new notebook. The stitch binding was easy but making the holes were  a bit tough since i didn't have that special tool they use. I only had something like those pins for cork boards.

The pages are cut from pattern paper. Pretty thin but i had nothing else available. I didn't want to use bond paper because it looks so ordinary.

The beautiful camera stamp on the cover is from littlemusings.net.

Next, i'll make a notebook and use staple-binding. So, i'm wondering... do you think i could sell these stuff at Etsy? Will somebody want to buy something like this? What would be a fair price to sell it for?

Here's my next work in progress.
