Posted April 16th, 2008 by minicloud

I was trying out the shutter cable the other day.

I wasted film again dammit.

Some turned out interesting though….

yes the very unoriginal light streaks and expectedly long shutter photo.
I love the greenish tint.

Travel Log: Tokyo 5. Epic spending.

Posted March 30th, 2008 by minicloud

I missed out Day 4 cos all i did was walked around, got hit by a sudden headache and slpt almost the whole day away.

Anyway,It was really cold today cos it was raining.

Free Mc Donald’s coffee made my day.

It was off to Harajuku ~~agaiTn~~.

And was greeted by Hangry and Angry~!!

Naoto is having an event today~Cute sales people are cute~!!

My mission for the day is to find a polaroid back for my Holga~!
And the destination~!

an obscure store with a tiny sign.

An awesome amount of old cameras and toy cameras make my day~!

The polaroid back was out of stock and I ended up having to buy the Holga champion kit.
it consists of:

Holga 120GCFN
Polaroid back
35mm film back
Fisheye for Holga
Fisheye holder attachment
Holga effect kit which includes 11 filters
35mm 120 and polaroid films
Holga phone strap

Awesome amount of nonsense which costs me a grand total of 39,900yen T___T
I am so broke.

But yes you are the King indeed.

The other toy camera at the bottom is the Golden Half by SuperHeadz.
and i also bought the flash for it.

It’s supposed to take photos like this.

And I phailz epic at taking polaroids.
I’m totally not used to the fact that I have to use flash.

Dinner is Okonomiyaki~!!!

Travel Log: Tokyo Day 2. Epic sakura.

Posted March 27th, 2008 by minicloud

Teaser shots for the day.taken by zemotion

I retired really early on day 1 cos I didn’t sleep on the plane the day before.

Anyway, woke up early to prepare for the an epic photoshoot. I think my hair took 1.5hrs to do.

I feel like a genius.

I applied for my leave last Sept and I was just guessing the dates when the sakuras would bloom in Tokyo. And guess wad? The day before I arrived, they started blooming.

My timing is impeccable.
And i heard it’s going to rain tomorrow and all the flowers would fall off. Isn’t the timing just awesome??????
Kami-sama watches over me~!!! *w*

And zer0 and I really have to thank Chris for helping us with everything. From taking us around, to carrying stuff for us and translating.

At one point of time when I was dressing up with the kimono, we had to ask for help and these 2 middle-aged women came and help us with the kimono. I was basically dressed in 5mins, obi and all.
;_; They are so kind.

And along the way there were other middle-aged BFFs who adjusted my obi and kimono. it’s like changing stylists every 15mins. Awesome shit.

We headed to Nippori in hope of finding awesome Japanese parasols for another shoot but no avail… so we headed to Asakusa instead.

That place is like Kyoto in Tokyo.
*w*
okay maybe not… cos I’ve never been there. But it is what I wld’ve imagined it to be. Huge temple. Big red lantern and rows of shops selling traditional japanese wares.

Anyway, I was being dumb by bringing out only my cash and forgot all about my credit card cos I thought I was just going out for a photoshoot. -_-;;;

But I spent a great deal of moolah at Asakusa.
