it all started back when i was a 1st yr. engineering student. I always find myself roaming in the humanities section of the library. Maybe beacause it is the only part of the library with large drawing tables for our plates, of being surrounded by the people from the college of architecture and fine arts whom we raced with our mechanical drawings, or the people from artes bacallaureate whom we find always liberating.
.
But one thing's for sure, it's the time that i got my first camera, a point and shoot one. I can only rely on its auto-focusing and those custom settings which i now call "idiot modes" hehehe. And consider that the humanities section have a myriad books on art and photography.
.
I guess it runs in the family, i became aware about films since i was 9, that is because my uncle always brought his "slides" and portfolio each and everytime we meet. And most of the time, we are the subjects, be it portrait, candids and even landscape.
.
now i have my very trusted friend, though he is much older than me, my mamiya camera is very reliable even without flash. I find it amusing to combine the tradition with new technology; just like a painter, only that my canvass is film, my brush is the camera and my paint is light.
