Kwento #3: Throwbacks, Flashbacks, and the signature kick of "film"

Photography began in the Age of Analog, long before all the digital thingamajigs were invented, the medium was made up of something only chemists probably understand the most: film. But the surprising thing about it is that digital has only gone mainstream recently, in fact, it's probably only a little beyond a decade.

Not dead yet. So far.
The look and feel of a photograph shot on film is still strong (like it was the force...) in people's tastes today that aside from keeping the medium alive, many digital-only applications and even camera manufacturers employ software to make images give that classic "film look." We even have a new tradition for it (sort of): Throwback Thursdays (and for the late posters, Flashback Fridays)

Unbelievable? Read on and find out :)

Lakbayin #2: Of the spokes of the sun and rays of the wheel

As the saying goes, "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", I took my first. But it was not a step, but perhaps more of a ...roll. The day was February 7, 2014.

I've been planning for the longest time to set out and go explore, even if it's just around town. It took forever to get me to do it- but somehow this time, I did. Without planning. Without hesitation.
