Sun Glare

Once in a while I like to take pictures of the glaring sun. They say it's a no-no. What the hell, I'll take a picture of the sun glare if I want to and no rule can stop me. Hahaha. Besides, that strong light and circles are kinda cool.

Multiplicity

I bought my Benesse toy camera without any idea that it had an interesting built-in filter-- multiplicity. After having the negatives processed, it's fun to look at what this filter resulted to. It seems I'm seeing double, triple, quadruple! Who says only digital shots get the enjoyment of photo tweaks?

The multiplicity effect is like the vision of someone who's dizzy or about to faint. You might get lightheaded yourself looking at these photos. Sorry about that in advance. ^__^

Making Music

Music plays a big role in this world-- it unites human beings. We may be listening to the same songs as those in the other corners of the earth. There are different religions, races, nationalities but there will always be a similar song or two that we appreciate together and know by heart. At least there's this point that we have in common. It's a wondrous thing to ponder on really.

Making music is a way of channeling your thoughts and letting others hear and feel what you wish to convey. As the first note is hit and people stop to listen, you know you've made a connection. 

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together. ~Edgar Winter

...because taking pictures underwater is fun

I'm a beach bum (and pool bum at times) so when I started shooting analogue I knew I wanted to have a camera that could take underwater shots. And  a few years back, I was presented the opportunity to buy one at only PhP 300. A bunch of other lomo enthusiasts were eyeing this limited stocks camera, I didn't let that chance pass of course.

When out there at the beach/pool/ocean/river/actually any body of water enough for you and your camera to sink in, taking pictures underwater is really fun.  The best part is counting 1 to 3 for a synchronized plunge. Really. Try it yourself. *wink*

It's amusing to finally see the shots once they're processed (you'll never know which one of those 36 or 24 shots were successfully taken). Here are a few of mine using Marine XI Underwater Camera.
