Redo

My old blog had been exported to www.Jimmim.blogspot.com

Here is one done for my photography archives, interesting articles and some of my hobby product.

Enjoy.

I am allured by the purple/reddish rendition of the Fuji Superia film. Tried editing with an old picture taken somewhere in July last year.

Going to get 10 Fuji Superia 200 very very soon and shoot it wide open! :)

Going back..

Film is a lot younger than newspapers.
Newspapers were supposed to go away when radio was invented.
Black-and-white film was supposed to go away when color was invented.
Radio, and movies, were supposed to go away when TV was invented.
Cable TV, Blockbuster and Netflix were supposed to go away back when the Internet got popular in the late 1990s.
When we lose the others, maybe I’ll start worrying about film going away.
New media may replace some parts of older media, but never replaces all of it. The older media always sticks around doing what it did best.

Before 2011





Picture courtesy of 27147 on Flickr.

Getting this lens with the ND4 filter and a Red filter to go with it. I think I am choosing this over the 'Cron 50mm because of the aperture cutting and over the Summilux because of the price constraint. I am very please with the dreamy bokeh that this lens can produce!

Total cost - $1,400





An artisan&artist strap for my current R3A. Definitely not a need but will get to withstand the weight of the Nokton 50mm.

Price - $90


Hopefully I will get those before 2011. Next year it will be a Leica M6.
