It’s been a while since I have my films developed in Singapore. Recently, due to the Covid-19 situation, I can neither go to Hong Kong/Thailand or send my films to Darkroom8 in KL, all of which are my alternatives outside Singapore. So I have decided to bring my films to Whampoa Colour Centre in Balestier … [Read more…]

It’s Christmas Eve and I got a half-day off work. So I will spend some time updating Film Look and tidying some photos for more blog posts.

After the first failed attempt and some trouble-shooting, I picked up Fuji Velvia 50 slide film to shoot again! You can read about my first attempt and where to … [Read more…]
