These are basically the cameras I have been drooling over for ages. I have always wanted to collect cameras way back in college and since I didn't have enough money before, nothing happened. Now that I am part of the work force, I am slowly adopting cameras. New or old, doesn't really matter. Here's my hit list.
Lomo LC-A
Seagull TLR
Fed 5
Horizon Perfekt
Diana+ Edelweiss Edition
Lomo Smena Symbol Refurbished
Dalek Super Sampler
Action Sampler Flash
Yashica Electro GSN
That's just about it, for now.If there's anybody out there willing to give some of the stuff above as a gift, that would be great! Lol!

I was surfing the net when I had the itch to check out cameras (as always). The brand Hasselblad crossed my mind and I was tempted to check out their site. Hasselblad is a well known medium format camera manufacturer. Their cameras are often used by professionals especially in producing fine print ads or for magazines, well, if they have the budget. Hasselblad, as far as I know, is one of the most expensive camera system out there. I haven't seen one in real life.
Having a Hasselblad would be a utopian dream for me. The price is worth more than my life, figuratively speaking though.
Their H-System and V-System can produce a whopping 30++ megapixel with a really great resolution.

Hasselblad V-System
Well anyway, Hasselblad has been around for ages and with quality of their products, I think they will be around for generations to come.
Sa tuwing tumataas ang halaga ng krudo, naiisip ko ang mga kababayan
nating drayber. Yung mga namamasada sa kalsada at nalalanghap ang
polusyon. Yung mga drayber na nagbibigay lang ng boundary sa kanilang mga amo dahil hindi nila pag-aari ang dyip na kanilang minamaneho.
Sa
mga nakaraang mga buwan, walang humpay ang pag-arangkada pataas ng mga
presyo ng mga pangunahing bilihin. Sa tuwing tumataas ang presyo ng
pagkain, pamasahe, matrikula at kung anu-ano pang pangangailangan ng
mga mamamayan, napapa-isip ako, paano ang mga mahihirap. Paano nila
nagagawan ng paraan na mai-tawid ang kanilang mga araw-araw na
pangangailangan. Paano nila ginagastos ang sahod na minimum?
Kung ang mga taong sumasahod ng mas mataas sa mimimum ay umaaray na, ano pa kaya sila?
Ikaw, tama, ikaw na nagbabasa nito, kakayanin mo bang mabuhay sa minimum wage?

...but we totally wasted the opportunity to take good photographs.
Sugar, Gino and I decided to ditch the Southern Lomo Laguna Roadtrip today. I made some "paawa effect" to convince Jennie to drop by Glorieta for my films even if she cancelled our coffee session since she's got a date with her Mom. I actually have several rolls to spare for todays photo shoot.
I already packed my bag with my cameras, I was planning to bring all four analog cameras and of course, my trusty digital point and shoot. Films are locked and loaded and just waiting to be exposed. Oh well, hopefully the cancellation of the photo shoot will be a blessing in disguise that the next time we plan a photo shoot, everybody who is willing to go with us will confirm.
I think I'll just go to the mall and hopefully, somebody will text me and ask me out for a drink.

We have to make realistic decisions. This is true in every aspect of life.
We should always look back to where we came from. We must consider the opinion of our subordinates before rolling out a new directive.
Ask what your people want. Ask them what makes them work. Ask them what make them stay or what can make them stay. Don't just ask what you want from your people.
I know that change is the only thing constant in this world we live in, however, it is imperative that we, as a whole group, can flow with the changes being implied.
The service will only be as good as the salary. (You get what you pay for).
An added work without added pay is equal to slavery.
I am now half-a-body out of the door, just like everybody else.

Why do students call themselves civilian whenever they are not wearing their uniform? Students are considered as civilians, just like those people who works in a company?Everybody are considered as civilians as long as they do not work for the armed forces of the national police, right?
What the hell is the story behind the kid's game "langit lupa", "saksak puso, tulo ang dugo" and some other weird games? It's pretty weird and violent at the same time...
Is it a possibility that the root of corruption in the Philippines is the game called "nanay tatay"? You may want to sing the song.
Where the hell did the lyrics for the "teleber-teleber" game originated?
I've met Kat Ignacio online. She's amazing. For a 19 year old kid to be producing quality videos, it's really amazing. She's the director, videographer, video editor and script writer. A one-man-production-team in the making (gahaman sa sweldo 'to, joke lang Kat). I've watched her short film titled, Oras ng Buhay. It's a great short film.
She's really talented. She's also a great photographer. She can also sing. Astig ka dude, apir!
I was chatting with her when I came up with some crazy questions I posted previously.
Anyway, here's one of her videos. Well, it's actually a cover of Wake Up from Coheed and Cambria. I asked her to do more covers, I hope she won't forget. haha...

Ano na nga ba ang estado ng ating bansa? Ano na nga ba ang narating ng ating lipunan mula noong nakaraang SONA ni Gloria? Natupad ba ang mga pangako at programa? Gumanda nga ba talaga ang ekonomiya? Ano nga ba ang sinabi nya sa kanyang SONA ngayong 2008?
Sa mga nakikita ko ngayon, lalong lumalala ang lagay ng ating bansa. Ang mga tiwaling gawain ng mga tao sa gobyerno ay hindi parin nawawala. Mas naging talamak pa nga. Ang unang pamilya na mismo ang nadadawit sa mga katiwalian. Mga naglalakihang pangalan ng tao ang mga kasali sa mga ganitong gawain. Nakasawa na. Nakainis dahil nagbabayad ako ng buwis.
Para sakin walang pinagkaiba ang bansa natin mula noong SONA 2007. Kahit anong gimik pa ang gawin ni Gloria. Walang epekto. Puro kabulastugan lang ang mga nangyayari. Puro kalokohan sa pamamalakad ng gobyerno. Simula sa opisina ni Gloria, hanggang sa mga tanod sa barangay, kadalasan, tiwali. Hindi ko nilalahat dahil may mga kaibigan din akong nasa pulitika. Alam ko na kahit paano, may mga hokus pokus na nangyayari pero hindi lantaran at hindi talamak. Wala na nga yatang pag-asa na tumino ang pamamalakad ng ating gobyerno. Isang malabong panaginip na nga lang siguro.
Gumanda nga ba ang ekonomiya ng ating bansa katulad ng pinagpipilitan ng ating gobyerno? Tanga nalang siguro ang magsasabi ng "Oo, gumanda ang ekonomiya". Anak ng tipaklong, kung gumanda ang ekonomiya sana bumaba ang mga presyo ng bilihin. Ang totoo nito, bumagsak ang pandaigdigang merkado. May recession sa Amerika. At yun lang ang dahilan kung bakit lumakas ang piso laban sa dolyar. Bukod dun, walang pinagbago. Hindi tanga ang mga Pilipino para maniwala sa mga sinasabi na umaangat at maganda ang takbo ng Pilipinas pag-dating sa ating ekonomiya. Buti pa nga ang mga bilihin sa Pilipinas, nagmamahalan, ako nalang yata ang hindi minamahal. (Pasensya na, kelangan kong ihirit yan eh... pumasok lang sa isip ko.).
Ano nga ba ang sinabi nitong pandak na pangulo ng Pilipinas na si Gloria sa SONA 2008? Sa totoo lang, wala akong pakialam. Wala akong panahon upang makinig sa mga sasabihin nya. Alam ng bawat tao sa Pilipinas kung ano ang tunay na estado ng ating bansa. Sana, sa darating na eleksyon, isipin na natin ng mabuti kung sino ang ipapalit natin sa bruhang pandak na iyon. Sana, makita ko na kung saan napupunta ang buwis na binabayaran ko tuwing akinse at atrenta. Sa kagustuhan kong magamit ang aking buwis, gusto ko na sana magpahuli sa pulis (nasabi ko lang kasi magkatugma ang tunog).
Pero ito ang seryoso, hindi tayo aangat hangga't si pandak ang nasa palasyo.
Keith Rosales po, tunay na Pilipino at kasalukuyang nakikinig sa kantang retro at ang titulo, tama ka! State of the Nation.
Good mornings are rare for me. It's usually a bummer to wake up at 5:30 in the morning knowing that you have a day's work ahead of you but today, it's entirely different. Since last night, I keep catching myself smiling. The reason, I don't want to ellaborate on it just yet. But I am just plain happy.
Having a really good conversation with a person you really admire is really cool. It feels good to hear her ranting about what happened that day. Even the old school cartoons from way back seems like a very interesting topic. Photography is of course, a main stay in our conversation. The are some stories that I don't have any idea but the hell with it, I am so darn interested about it.
I'm waiting for the video though, she'll cover Paramore's "Let this go" for me which is one of my favorite songs. Hopefully she'll be able my ultimate mushy song as well, Bic Runga's "Sway".
Oh well, I'll see her on Saturday.
