have you heard of our new schedule? 2 out of 4 days in school, we’re working and studying from 7am til 9pm at night, the two other days are from 10am to 9pm. we’ve just gone through week 1 of this monster schedule, and we’ve barely survived it YET. I brought home 2 bags (LITERALLY x.x) of papers to check and 12 problems to solve, all due by next week.

As it turns out, I still haven’t gotten the hang of using the Smena 8M, since there are so many things to consider. But from the first two rolls of our Ilocos Adventure, I did get a few lucky shots – there’s a third roll still inside the camera right now that’s in Black and White. I really don’t think so much before shooting, so maybe that’s another thing.

The following photos were taken using a Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim camera, loaded with Kodak Elite Chrome and Kodak Ekta Chrome. These are the must see sights in Pagudpud, Ilocos. This trip was really worth the wait!

This photo certifies that we were in Pagudpud. This is Patapat Bridge. That’s Jan and Karl behind me.
This is Saud Beach (Resort), it was lovely cause we were the only ones on the beach, save for a Japanese couple and a white guy who seems to have fins :p

Above is the Bojeador Lighthouse. The sight from the top is breathtaking. 🙂
I’m thinking of posting photos taken by the Smena 8M and our nifty el cheapo Snap Sights Underwater camera. I really wanna show you how much balls of fun the waves up there are, they’d take you meters away if you let them.

Tomorrow, we fly off to Laoag to enjoy an Ilocos weekend – we plan to conquer Laoag, Pagudpud and Vigan all in 2 days. Needless to say, we’ll be hauling films and several cameras on this trip so that when we get back, we’ll have new photos to revel in. So no photo upload this weekend. 😦 But to keep you company, let me introduce you to Mr. Chicken.
You see, Mr. Chicken has always wanted to be photographed. (Un)fortunately he lives in Jan’s backyard in Baguio and the presence of neighborhood dogs hinders him from achieving his dream. After all, getting out of the compound is one thing, but finding a photographer?
Last Christmas, Jan went to town and saw these nifty red vignette things. (they look like filters, but with a hole in the middle) and thought that it might fit our digicam. Unfortunately for our digicam, the vignette tool wouldn’t fit, but luckily Jan’s uncle is crafty in these things and made Jan a lens/vignette tool holder so he can use his new toy on the Holga. But most fortunate of all is Mr. Chicken:

Ok, so in a back post, I promised myself to send my sick Smena 8M to the HongKong Lomo shop where it was purchased. Turns out, it’s more complicated than I thought.
First of all, shipping! It’s gonna cost me 1200Php, which I’m not willing to shell out at this time because of our upcoming vacation.

In Baguio, it’s pretty hard to get nice lighting due to unpredictable fogging. During this trip, in addition to that, clouds were overcast – so when the sun peeked, I just kept on shooting. I love how this batch turned out!
