{Analog adventure} Cibi Café, Collingwood

Anh — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:55:15 +0000

These days I often get my film processed in bundles, which mean it might took several months from shooting to actually seeing the final pictures. It is as though memories are locked away, waiting to be re-discovered at later time. This process is really long for me, since I do not use my camera as frequently.… Continue Reading ...

{Eat & Analogue} Visits to Pope Joan, Brunswick East, Melbourne

Anh — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:28:30 +0000

A few things I have learned lately: sometimes less is more & film photography is something amazing and magical.

Around a month ago, as I picked up the vintage film camera for a test shoot, my phone died suddenly. At that point, I was so used to snap a lot of things, perhaps far too many things, with my phone.… Continue Reading ...

Summer & black sticky rice dessert with fresh mangoes

Oh summer, summer. While I cannot say I am in love with the intense heat on certain days, what summer is offering has just been a pure pleasure. We have spent a lot more time outside. Some days we cycle around our neighbourhood, discovering a lot of rabbits, a few cows and friendly sheep on the way.… Continue Reading ...
