My Mamiya RB67 Pro SD

Finally, I got my very own Mamiya RB67 Pro SD. I got it from Hidalgo for around 10,000 pesos. It came with a 645 back and a 180mm f/4.5 K/L lens. The seller, bossing Allan, said that it was around 80mm in the 35mm format. Anyway, I bought one Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film to use for a test roll. We went to Manila bay to take some shots. It was really an experience.

Thanks to Nat(pangantot) and Edward for coming along to Hidalgo. MF Day woohoo!

Here are a few shots. Click to see the image in its original size.

With Age comes Wisdom..

Many a times, he has given me useful advice. Well, most of the time, it's about preparing one's self so that I would not get mugged or robbed at night. But still, this man of 84 years is still alive, drinking kicking, and oozing out with invaluable know-how that can only come from years and years of life experiences. Peace Lo. :)

The Meaning of Christmas

I took this last friday, in UP diliman's lantern parade. Maybe this is what Christmas is all about -isolating the important things and letting go of the not so important things. Maybe?
