Can you believe it? My first film roll ever is a Kodak Portra 400 that I bought from B&H and shipped to Uganda by an overpriced third party shipping company. I also bought my first film camera since its prime around this time. I picked a Canon-A1 with 50mm f1.4 lens because based on the … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Kodak Portra 400
Through the Lens: Revival
I started a series a while back entitled "Through the Lens" which mainly covers the stories of my photographs using different film cameras. I experienced burn out so I stopped posting blog posts altogether.

Through the Lens: Malaria in Africa

Through the Lens: First of the Roll
This photo was taken with my very first roll of film. Literally the first frame of the roll as you can see with the frame burn. I didn't know that this is a thing until I read a post from our Facebook Film Group.

Through The Lens: Hopia, Mani, Popcorn
Uganda has a very centralized system. Majority of the malls/outlets can only be found in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. I'm currently based in Mbale. Roughly three to six hours from Kampala depending on the mode of transportation but I normally take the bus so it's six hours of travel for me. I love … Continue reading Through The Lens: Hopia, Mani, Popcorn
