Open your heart

An open hand signifies an open heart. Remember when you were a kid? And your mom would hold your hand when you were scared. Or when you hold the hand of your loved one, to assure them that you're there. Holding anothers' hand is a sign of comfort and relief.

The Philippines is in shock and grief due to Ondoy. Please help us.

If you can, please donate to the Philippine Red Cross at www.redcross.org.ph/ or via our Chipin page at lomomanila.chipin.com/lomoaid

Turning water in to wine

2008-05-04T14:24:00.007+08:00

I recently tried the method of red scaling. At first, my paranoia kicked in which made me hesitant to try it out but I thought what the heck, As far as I know, experimenting on different methods is part of lomography so I pushed on with my plan.

I came out with a few decent shots using my Holga 120fn (with Fuji Superia ISO400 film) and for starters, I should say that I did fairly well. Here are some of my photos:

"My first attempt in turning water in to wine."

"I love the shadows."

"Outdoor shots: Recommended for red scale films."

Right now, I've grown tired of using ordinary films, I'm planning to buy a couple of slides and medium formats to pop those lomo colors out, those xpro'ed saturations are what appealed to me in the first place, and so the hunt for my preferred films (Fuji Velvia, Provia and kodak Elite) continues in my journey in this Lomographic life.

it's that great

Bakit ganyan, bakit naman
Tuwing kakausapin o yayayain ka
Laging nangangatwiran na busy ka.

Naiwan sa hangin
Damdamin kong bitin na bitin

Ilang beses na itong nangyari
Daig pa ang dami ng mga daliri
Mga pagkakataon na kasama siya
Wala ng iba kundi kaming dalawa

Magpapatawag ka, pero cannot be reached ka
Mahal naman kita ngunit ano ba talaga
Sagutin mo, wag mo akong bigla na lang

O ha aah, naiwan sa hangin,
damdamin kong bitin na bitin.
Kulang na kulang, bitin na bitin.
