I was listening to " Again and Again" again and again!!! So refreshing!~
I today I developed the pinhole camera films i exposed last saturday at east coast park. Met up with the usual guys and introduced them to some awesome food in bedok, but it apparently din't awe them at all. once again, after the hong cha long yan incident, i was entrusted with the title of the untrustable gourmet... WELL!~ watever!~ i love food, food loves me. =) So we headed down to East coast park and had a intensive photo shoot session. the sun was scorching, machiam wanna reap my skin off. GREAT SUN for pinhole camera and holga camera, the two sorts we are taking that day. So, it was great luck. I was snapping with my holga camera and wanderings down the stretch of shore when i bumped into this philipino family. There's three kids, tallest one not even my hips' height, smallest one slightly above my knee height, and the three of them were ROLLING along with the tide! Imagine, being knocked down and curled into the sea by the wave, tumbling, struggling and climbing up and repeating it again, and the mum just stood there and watch~! clapz~ For a moment I really felt very nostalgic, i use to watch my laudry in the washing machine.... So I thought, gosh! wat cute things! wat a nice scene, so i talked to the mother and asked for permission to take photos of the kids frolicking and digging sand. thought i captured quite a few gd shots. But it all has to wait till i get teh films developed. So when i leave, i said thankz and bid gdbye~ and the three kids who were very camera concious and did not talk to me during the shoot, all stood up and waved to me so cutely and shouted " BYEBYE!!!" oh~ that smile! that energy~ that tiny body! I swear i felt like grabbing one and run! I love kids. But I wun wanna have my own, at least not now. I'll post my holga fruits when i dev them. So back to the pinhole~! it was a challenge, the sun at beach is very diff from the sun in sch, and so, the exposure timing was really very much a gauge. I got this bad feeling that it will all be overexposed and all that i will be seeing is black black patches. I was so worried that i really felt like going down to sch on sunday morning to dev the pics. Heard from jon that the pic kl took using my pinhole cam was totally black.. so i pretty much gave up hope. So I was in the darkroom and i dumped the rc-strips ( negative kinda thingy) into the first processing tray of chemical and agitated it, and to my surprise, some forms appeared!!! And i saw a sandcastle!~ goodness gracious!~ it was such a magical moment!!!!
This is how it looks like after i scan in and invert the colour. =) love it! And i like the one below as well, it was on the grass patch, and it has my dirty finger prints on as well, like the artist leaving her print, signing off~ =)
There is a family pitching a tent there, kids playing sand and adult standing to face the sea~ breathing and relaxing. I distorted the film to giv eit a distorted look, and yes the people moved within the 25s of exposure so the whole thing is kinda abstract and the end result felt a bit like a painting.
Above is the sihoulette of me, the tiny thing at the centre, and the beach. Below are some of the pics i took today at adm. The following pic shows me keeping a watch at time, being careful with the exposure. but my main target was actually the " MAXIMUM HEIGHT 2.8M" sign on the black signboard above me. But there wasn't enought light falling on it, o, too bad.
This is my best print. Love the way the perspective turned out the way i planned it, and the exposure was just nice, everything nice and sharp~ and the small black figure sitting on the floor beside the stairs, not very obvious here, is me again, keeping watch of the timing. i love this print!~
I love this sort of art in life. so basic~ u can make a camera out of anything. and shoot pics.
I love it.
And I'll do it again and again and again..~ =)
ok, back to study~ tml got quiz. nitex~
