So here’s my new entry: Cinestill 800T (Tungsten balanced) shot with my new film camera, the … Continue reading Testsie Roll: CineStill 800T | Nikon F3 | Japan
Hi! It’s me. Just writing this post to let you know that I’m still alive. I’ve been really busy most of the year. I know, the pandemic could’ve brought countless blog posts but can you blame me if it’s easier to watch Netflix than to write about my thoughts? So yeah, I will be continuing my Testsie Roll Series where I get to share my … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Expired Centuria 400

Maybe one of my favorite shots from my last photowalk in Harajuku for the test roll of my newly bought Contax T2. The dogs and their mom seem like looking directly at the camera. And there they are regally parked in the sidewalk. I feel intimidated just by looking at this photo. I framed the photo with only their family in the frame but when … Continue reading Through the Lens: Dog Mom
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 reviews and countless Youtube videos that I watched, it’s a … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Kodak Portra 400

I also have a secondary instagram … Continue reading Through the Lens: Revival

I documented my little excursion with a series of photos: So that’s my trip to the supermarket. And the plot twist of the day is the care package that I received from our HR. I hope I … Continue reading Got the Flu and my trip to the Supermarket
I would like to walk Oreo around the neigborhood as much as I can. And with these little walks that I get to know my dog more. From one of our walks, I realized that she loves the grass. Any kind of grass. Maybe playing with the goats back in Mbale sorta made her believe that she’s a goat too. I got to know that … Continue reading Walking with Oreo
One of the perks of my job is being able to travel to different places. Pictured below is Mount Muhabura as seen from a village in Kisoro District, Uganda. It lies along the border of Uganda and Rwanda. According to my Ugandan colleague, the name Muhabura means “The Guide” in the local language. It can be seen from different parts of the country because of … Continue reading Mount Muhabura | Uganda
I think this is my first time to stop at a sunset here in Kampala, Uganda. You see, I’m not a sunset or sunrise person. Well maybe one time when I was travelling in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I woke up at 3 or 4 AM to witness the most majestic yet crowded sunrise in my whole life. The crowd was massive. Hundreds or maybe thousands … Continue reading Kampala Sunset
