Analog.

I captured some scenes of daily downtown Davao hours ago. I had the liberty of using Hipstamatic App from iPhone using different lenses, films and flashes.

I really love the feel of film photography. I'm going to explore on it some time soon :) Enjoy!

CAM-CORDING

Earlier, my cousin Cez let me borrow her (or rather Luke's) RCA Mini Camcorder. I was thinking of buying one for myself but I'm still having second thoughts about it.

RCA Camcorder
I went through the internet to check some of the latest camcorders; 2 brands got my attention. First one was The Flip Ultra HD video cam. I got attracted to it, not only cause it looked cute & colorful but it's also quite handy; then the price weren't on my range for it. The second one was the CAM4002 SNAPP® Mini Digital Camcorder from Coby; simple but I'm not sure about its quality though. I'm still deciding whether to purchase it or not. I don't even know which store has it. I might check at Kodak, Gaisano Mall Davao soon if they have Camcorders available :)

Camera Spur!

on the urge of photography these days, i wanna get to know and try different cameras on my own. I actually have one right now, Nikon D5000, have it for about 8months now. I had a lot of money sacrifices just to avail this one. Yet i bought this just for its style though i haven't really studied its features and now i can't even understand how to really use it.

Right now, I am actually thinking of selling it and I've already considered buying a new one but I'm still confused about it (below). If you are able to tell me which one's better, comments please. Thanks! :) [I'm also wondering what lens to buy for my Nikon, Help!]


Sony NEX5

I just like this one for its appearance,
 though I still haven't checked its features and some reviews about it. 
Think, think, think! :)

WHAT CAREER?

Thoughts lately got me to wonder things that were already considered significant for my age. It was about "What do you want to do when you grow up?" but it was nearly as to "What will I do after I graduate?" I came to this list of interests, though some of these are just hobbies but still I'm curious if I should give them a try probably end up with a career out of it. I'm still questioning on which of them should be prioritized cause I'm a bit stuck on the verge of wanting them all :)

The List!
1. Photography
2. Business
3. Optometry Specialization
3.a Geriatric
3.b Low Vision or
3.c Sports Vision or Vision Training

Photography. I know I may not be as good as those seen on magazines or the ones featured on TV but I really do appreciate capturing reality and preserving its beauty (pero I do prefer film photography now, I see digital photography as too much image clarity and full of editing; it is a good thing but its not as great as film that takes it time to develop). I still don't know if I should pursue this after I graduate; no idea if this will just be a hobby for me or maybe end up as my career. Who knows? Here are samples of my recent takes!

Trying on Pet Photography
I do have frustrations on my love for food. I really want to eat scrumptious delicacies 24/7 but my body doesn't seem to cooperate with it and pretty much giving me flabby bilbils and braso hahaha! but this doesn't stop me from exploring different plates of heaven out there! Here are some of my takes! [P.S. I started my love for Food Photography during my stay in Cebu 2009.]

Mild Hot Wings at Kul Kitchen, Cebu (The Best Chicken Wings  I ever had!)
Appetizer at Candy's CDO, Cheese and Spinach Dip! 

Baby Back Ribs at Candy's CDO
Medium Rare Beef Steak at Candy's CDO
Business. The only experience I have on business is what I usually see and do for my mom with our LJCE Canteen both at Mintal and Toril and with our LJCE Pharmacy at Lanang. It isn't much but I saw the advantages of having your own business and being your own boss. I have no clue yet on what business to open and when or where but I know that someday if I'm given the chance, I'll have mom to guide and direct me. Not a big worry, I assume!

Optometry Specialization. There is no problem in specializing Optometry but TIME is in demand. I'm confused to which among the three is best to pursue and if time and God's will would allow me to do it. Just hoping and praying! Fingers crossed! :)
