My passion for camera

             I was starting to give up on taking pictures because I felt like I've lost my passion in camera. Something about the feeling of not being in the picture bothered me a lot. It took me awhile to gain my missing passion. Last semester I think the pictures I took didn't reach the amount of pictures I would have took. Maybe this is a little exaggerating but it was a pain my chest when I realized that I wasn't as eager as before.
             The mid-year holiday was a great-escape from study and everything that has been blocking me from  being what I want. At home my sister was the one who used the camera a lot. I wanted to be really free at home. Last week of the holiday, I helped my sister to get her picture processed in the shop. My eyes captured the blue and green small boxes containing film in it. Suddenly I remembered my purple camera at home. I posted about it when I first got it. Click here to see it :)

            So I decided to get one of it. I purchased the the one with 36 film. I wanted the one with only 12 but since they ran out of stock I guess that one will do. The funny thing is I didn't set it up in the camera until the next day when I'm in the airport. I watched the video on how to load and unload the camera like thousand times. To think it back once will do but that's just me. When I really like what I'm doing, I'll try to make it the best. That wasn't the first time actually. I did used the camera before but it was late in the afternoon and the camera don't work well with gloomy exposure, so the picture didn't turned out to be good. That's a problem working with totally manual camera. But that also make working with it interesting. That was when I know that I'm gaining my passion again.

           Turned out that I'm not the only one in here that have that much interest in this kind of camera. I will be searching for more information on Lomography. I'll bet I can spend hours googling about it. This Saturday I'm actually going to have the film processed and I hope it will turned out well. fingercrossed! Next week our class will be having a trip and wow that is a opportunity for me to use the camera again. Not that the timing to use the camera is limited, I don't want to waste my film taking random pictures. I think it's better to use the digital camera for something random and everyday-ish that way you can delete it in case it looks ugly >.< ngehe

So these are the pictures I found in google image

This one is already mine, you know the story of it if you have read the post I've linked ;)

            You can see that one of the attraction of lomo camera is the look. But the main thing is the effect of this camera on the pictures. There are very beautiful if you already mastered the skills, which I am learning right now. I'm thinking of looking for the simplest lomo camera for now since getting the other is quite impossible, I'm just a student. Moreover, if you want a better picture it's good if you have the accessories which will require more money. I'll be getting them later, maybe in he future? Hhe, in this entry I focused on the camera only so if you want to see pictures taken by lomo camera just google it.  

I can finally say...

 I've gained my passion back

Strangers in my life

I've always think about strangers in my life and I only realized it a year ago

I was having my pre test for my driving licence

I was not lucky because for the first test the car slide down from the hill

But I weren't alone

A guy who seems familiar 

He must have been my schoolmate before

Maybe he was that guy who sang the lovely kids song during children's day

Anyway, we were given second chance

My turn was after him

I felt the nervousness when he did the test

And when he made it 

He parked the car, went out with a big smile

His face redden .

I proceed with the test and that time I pressed down the accelerator all I can 

To my surprise I passed the test

It was a very relieving moment

I see the guy passed the other two tests 

I did too.

I thought a lot about strangers after that day

And to be honest, I was exposed to people's behaviour only when I started my driving lessons

Which might be the main reason for all of this.

There is someone that I still call stranger though I've been talking to him online through a site 

It's fun talking to him

We agree and argue on things

I still have no idea on his real name and his real look

But I'm comfortable that way

At least for now

He cheered my boring time after I finished SPM

He is still a stranger 

Yet I like talking to him

I will never forget a stranger like him.

Sometimes the one that leaves impression was the person I only see for few seconds

Maybe the ones who smiled at me

The one who helped me when I was lost in town

The one who offered a helping hand when I carried too much things with me.

It comes too me that we leave impression in everywhere we go

Some impressions might be lovely

Some impressions might not be good at all

But they inspire me to see how people are

Without getting too attached on them

And let the thought of them ruin my feeling.

I believe that I will meet more strangers in my life

And those strangers might even stay for some times or forever in my life.

Dear strangers,

Thank you because you made my day

Even when what happen wasn't pleasing 

I still appreciate because God had decided to let me experience those events and things.
