thoughts escaping my mind
This is a long overdue post. And I’m only getting to it now because I’ve been cleaning up my hard disk. (Three days on, I’m still cleaning it away.)
You might remember the wet market at Block 628 because it burned up on 16th October 2007.

Today, I received an SMS that made my blood boil:
This writer I hire for my film is not sure of highlighting changes in his drafts. Any key functions tat he can press?
😉
I’ve been struggling with this decision for the last 4 months. My friend insisted I get a Leica, then later tried to push the Zeiss Ikon, but the Voigtlander Bessa R4A is what I finally got.
Okay, so I’ve got the first two rolls of film from my Yashica GSN.
I am pleased. The GSN was fixed nicely. No light leaks. And I notice from the shots during sunset it tends to make the light look redder than it actually was. Sweet.
Spent the weekend at a kelong run by three Singaporeans. The website address is kelongfishing.com but when I checked out the website, I found it was called Hot Boys fishing.
Well, it was hot. But I don’t know who the boys are. Unless you were talking about the old uncles fishing off the kelong.
The kelong is just off Pulau Sibu which is accessed via Tanjung Leman jetty.
It’s not a real kelong and it’s run only for tourists.
It’s a long time since I’ve been excited about pictures. Sure, it’s nice to copy pictures from the memory card to the computer and see what you have.
But the surprise from a roll of film inside a camera so long that you forgot what you took in the first place?
It can’t compare.
So I found a roll of Fuji Sensia slide film. The use by date on the box is November 2001. It has been stored in normal room temperature.
I’ve not used film in ages, but I still have my trusty Yashica T5 (T4 Super), a camera that I love a lot. Against my old Canon 55 (50E) with a 28-200mm lens, the Yashica T5 churned out better, sharper, more saturated pictures. Continue reading “Expired”
