Film Photography with Agfa Box 50

Another photography experiment: film photography with 70 years old camera Agfa Box 50. Now the children learn that basic photography only requires light, lens & chemical process.

Been living in digital era, the children want to see the result instantly "Let me see the picture! Let me see the picture!" Sorry kids, this is not iPhone. You have to wait the film to be finished spooling then bring it to film laboratory. Kids hate waiting. But once they see the result, they keep asking "Is this magic?"

Yes kids. This is kind of magic.

Some results with Ilford B&W 120 ISO 400 film.




With Lomography Redscale 120 ISO 200 film.



With Fujifilm Color 120 ISO 400



Still need a lot to practice :D

Back Sketching

For years, mouse, stylus, multitouch & tablet successfully keep my hand away from traditional sketching tool: pencil & paper.
So I decide to start a hand exercise.
Got a sketchbook & Faber Castell Pitt graphite pure, sketching everyday in the office.





Though it's not that bad, my parents think that my strokes look stiff. "Too digital, dear."
I don't know what exactly does it mean, but I guess I have to keep exercising more & more.

Watercolor paintings back in the college days in Bandung. Though they are all in tiny size, it's still printable on postcard size. Collect them, put in white simple frames then you can decorate your wall with it.
