BRB, again.

Will be off to Kuching tomorrow afternoon, but not before battling biometric scanners that refuse to scan my thumb (so far it’s been a 100% fail rate due to my paper-thin skin pfft).

I went to Ruby to stock up on the cheapo b&w film that I’ve come to love and feel comfortable with last Saturday. What do you know, the boss just happened to forget to stock up the shop with it. At least I got a roll of high ISO to play with…

BUT THIS MEANS I ONLY HAVE 5 ROLLS IF I WANT TO BRING THE SLR (which I do!!!):

1) Delta 3200 (the one I bought, $7)
2) Pan 400 (my regular love)
3) Provia 100F (slide to try, $10.20 the horrors)
4) Kodak 200 (my uncle’s friend’s shop closed and he gave some film away :( )
5) Centuria 200 (same uncle’s friend, though I read bad reviews from this film)

I don’t want to shoot so many color film… I want to shoot b&w so that I can develop them by myself :( Maybe tomorrow I’ll get my lazy ass down to town to get some.

Will be back on Monday night. In the meantime, do contend with woe-faced Shortie from the color neg film that finally made it to the labs.

I miss her muchly!

Also, I found out that I have one roll of exposed b&w. Have seriously no idea what it contains.

Doggy Dog

B&W Ilford HP5 on CFN120 Holga.
Digital negative.
Van Dyke print.

For the uninitiated, what I wrote basically means:

Black and white film on toy camera.
Scanned, inverted and printed on transparency.
Printed with poisonous brown chemicals.

But hey, poison’s not new to photography. Silver nitrate anyone? Cyanide gas hmm?

Nodame Cantabile makes me want to learn the piano, Japanese, French and Korean. (Not too sure where the Korean factored in though.)

I did something very stupid last night…

Will be wearing glasses for a while because I prematurely threw away my last pair of contacts after finding out (and despairing) that I didn’t have anymore solution to store them in. Right after tossing them did I realise I still had an unopened bottle on the shelf – I was just too lazy to place it in my usual cupboard when I’d bought it and promptly forgot its existence.

Have a craving for sushi and IKEA meatballs :(
