There is never a day that passes that I’m still in bed at six. Ugh.

Not now, go away

Today was one of those days when it seemed that I nearly couldn’t deal with all the crap around me.

Love how this turned out. It’s a single frame that was double (or quadruple) exposed to show all the elements that matter at the work place. Ambiance, pastries and good food. 

Cafe Mary Grace, shot on film.

The office space. A bit dark (and messy) which is just the way I like it. 

Shot with film.

This is how it looks like when I leave FROM the office.

I woke up one day and I could not bear with the idea of taking yet another digital photograph.  Don’t get me wrong, I still appreciate and is obsess over photographs made in the digital format (such as those found in the awesome food blogs I follow) but there was just something so carelessly easy about shooting digital that practically turned me into a shutter happy freak with a camera who gave no thought whatsoever to the process and perhaps art of photography.  I’m no artist but what I guess I am trying to say is that I began to look for a deeper connection towards taking photos and the process behind me which became my general thrust in returning to film! Despite the current mindset of the practicability and ease that digital photography tends to highlight, there are, I feel greater advantages with shooting film based on my experience at least.

1. The process and the anticipation of the results thereof.

2. Old cameras, though still gems, aren’t as fragile as it’s digital counterparts and therefore does tend to make me less concerned about the actual camera. I mean it’s old, we get that, but being such, the worry of wrecking it is not a worry at all.

3. It is film so yes, it may be more edgy ergo I’ll shoot whatever, whenever so what?

4. NO NEED FOR PHOTOSHOP!!!!! The photos, compared to the raw, unedited formats from digital cameras are in itself quite nice. Though I do have to say that I am using expired film.

5. Double exposure.

6. The full-frame feel.

So anyway, enough with the yapping and here are some of things I encounter day to day which became the habitat for my return to film. Naturally, I’m not giving up on digital photography but I’m hoping that my current foray into film will teach me a thing or two with the intentions of becoming a more meaningful photographer. J

I shot these for work in preparation for Mother’s day. :)

Have a good start of the week! 

I love walking into a bakery and having first dibs on fresh-out-of-the-oven baked breads! Nothing is more pleasant or honest about newly baked breads plucked from it’s cooling trays and eaten right then and there that never fails to put a smile on my face. 

takeshootwhatever asked: Wow. You take very nice photos. I especially like the ones with the cat. (: If you do have the time, please check out my photos as well. Thank you!

thank you! :)
