i got 2 cheapo mini-flashes a couple of weeks back and i gave one to my good friend bliss for christmas. we got to play w/ it last friday when we decided to go saguijo for some drinks and good music.  bliss offered to be my voice activated lightstand for the night! i can’t wait till i get my radio trigger (got stuck in the post-office thanks to the loong holiday).

anyway here are some images we got from that night!

i got this yesterday, christmas afternoon from my uncle. it was gritty and dirty (not that a little tlc couldnt help). but i noticed some fungus growth inside the viewfinder window and inside the lens :( im gonna get it cleaned soon and hope to find batteries for this baby. cant wait to use it!

ive been wanting to have a working rangefinder and i couldnt believe my uncle got this in storage.. good thing i got to bring up a conversation about film cameras during our traditional christmas eve dinner w/ the clan.

here’s some info on the camera.

christmas card

happy holidays everyone! here’s my christmas card for everyone who never got it in their mailboxes.

christmas card

a little info on the photo:

this was taken early march this year in the bodega… the little tree was in storage already. even though it wasnt christmas that time i just had to take a picture of it. the sun was hitting it perfectly, the shadows, the glint of the glitters and the dust on those balls was just screaming for attention.
