Chain Reaction in term of photography

November 21, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 7 Comments
Kodak Tri-X 400, Hasselblad 500C/M

This blog post is more or less talking about gear acquisition syndrome, cross out if you don’t want to read about it. Not too long ago, I chanced upon a book ‘Goodbye, things, on minimalist living’ by Fumio Sasaki. ‘Minimalism’ is not an unfamiliar term to me. I have friend who really live the minimalist … [Read more…]

The need to play around

Kodak BW400CN

People get bored, easily. I am the same. I get bored shooting at the same place too much. I get bored using the same camera (sigh). I get bored shooting the same theme for too long a period. However, it is not an issue for visiting the same place often to shoot because things change … [Read more…]

Reflection on one year into film photography

Kodak BW400CN 400

13 September 2016, I bought my first serious film camera- Nikon FM2, with a 50mm f1.8 lens. I love it. It’s sturdy as a tank, even though it had let me down once and I had to send it for repair. My first film was an expired Fujicolor C200. The images from my first roll … [Read more…]

Happy Birthday to me!

August 31, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 2 Comments
Kodak Color Plus 200

It’s my birthday today so I deserve a blog post for myself. Since I started primary school, I never had any celebration with classmates on the day itself because it was always a holiday (Malaysia’s Independence Day). Anyway, not sure about you, Birthday has gradually become like just another day as I grow. Just to … [Read more…]

To: All the cats in the world

Tudorcolor XLX 200, Olympus mju ii

This blog post is dedicated to cats. Because I adore cats. When I was a kid, my family had a few pet dogs. At that time, I disliked cats. I loved the loyalty of a dog. Their love for their masters is incomparable to your spouse. No matter what you do to a dog, they … [Read more…]

Instagram is just another social media game

August 3, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 1 Comment
JCH Street Pan 400

At present, I am active on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and occasionally Twitter. Last time when Facebook was ‘new’, I remember being very addicted to it. Besides playing Facebook games (Pet Society and Restaurant City, etc) , I liked to post photos, stalk people, see their photos, write status and anticipate the … [Read more…]

August 1, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 2 Comments
Fujicolor C200

My nickname is Nicole. I will be turning 26 on 31st August. Yes, I have the same birthday as Malaysia. Nope, no prize for having the same birthday as my country of origin (I get asked a lot). I chanced upon film photography (again) by accident and started using analogue film in September 2016. I … [Read more…]

Camera Zen: one camera at a time

Agfa Vista 400

I was crazy about film cameras a few months back. I looked through e-bay and Carousell every day to find deals. The process was addictive but hurtful. Because superb deal is gone in split second. Although there were a few good deals coming and going, but I couldn’t commit to buy it because my gut … [Read more…]

July 11, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 2 Comments
Fujicolor Industrial 100

The final day has come: The last day of Singapore Sungei Road Thieves’ Market operation, 10th July 2017. One of the ‘symbolic’ icons of Singapore is gone, forever. Here’s my brief understanding of Thieves’ Market: Thieves’ Market wasn’t called Thieves’ Market in the first place. In the early days, it was just a place for … [Read more…]
