The Buck Stops Here

I was supposed to post about some "thing" here but it seemed totally inapproriate with the current situation of my right "foot". That original post will come out when I get better. Those who love seeing me get in trouble with the wifey better keep watching this space. Nope, nothing to do with maxing out a Citibank credit card or emptying a bank account. The wifey, though, might say "close enough".

X-Rated

Got a new toy.

Just like its predecessor the FDC01, aka SQ28M, this baby has a horrible shutter lag. (I was hoping they already worked on that.) Hence, it is not suited for drive-by snapping which is only what my time allows right now. A proper "photowalk" awaits.

I have not paid for this yet. My dear wifey would be glad to know that I did not have to break into our bank account. Yet. Think of it as a credit card purchase without the interest. (Right, 'tol? Hehe.)

Here is a sample capture using the yellow mode:

Where Is Spongebob?

Kids came, expecting to see the yellow sponge. Only The Chinese hopper showed up. I too, was disappointed.

Those Are Not Roses.

I thought I was done buying diapers.

Yes, it poops. I can smell it. Same odor as burning money.

ReBound.

Finally got this colorway. A retro, yes, from 2003. I got this since OG ones that I have encountered are not wearable. (Sapatos yan, hindi trophy.)







Joining an old friend.







My dear wife, do not worry. I am staying retired, I just could not pass this one up.

Plastic Fantastic

My flood shoes are here. They join the wifey's Melissas and Little P's Crocs.



Please, leave the Crocs to the toddlers.

Who Needs An LC-A?

I got my second film camera today, a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim. My first one I got as a gift when I was in high school more than two decades ago. Somewhere among all the junk we have in the province that camera is waiting.

The UWS is known as the "poor man's LC-A" (that really expensive plastic camera from Lomography). Like the LC-A the UWS can also produce fantastic color saturation and vignetting. I love those effects on my photos. My VQs can do the same. Sometimes though I wish for a viewfinder, hence, the UWS.

What concerns me now is the "total" cost of owning a film camera. I have checked the net, and the good films go for around 5-7 US dollars. Then we have the cost of film processing and film-to-cd service.

So the UWS remains untouched, waiting for her turn.
