Oh film.

I'll be getting a film scanner soon! Yay, my dad finally said yes to the V700. I could've gotten a scanner earlier - the Canoscan 8800f - but after seeing that PRA has the V700 for sale, my heart was set on that one!

I am so tempted to buy either a Pentax 67 or the Zenza Bronica. They're no Hasselblads but they're still pretty good. There's a Pentax 67 that's going on eBay for $290 right now but it comes without a lens. I've looked through eBay for them but they're either expensive or very hard to find cheap. Even the ones on KEH were expensive. Maybe I should try to bid on the Bronica. But the image format is not the same. I'm starting to fall in love with the 6 x 7 format that the Pentax takes.

Argh. Decisions decisions. The Bronica is pretty tempting though. It comes with only 1 lens but the accessories that the person is auctioning is quite a lot. Hmm. But. I would be better off with a Hassy right? Ehehe. Heh, I hope I find a good deal on Photographic Trader when May comes. Would be an awesome birthday present :D

In Aussieland.

I've been back in Perth for a week now.

Life's been pretty slow. Classes are not starting till next week so I've been glued to the computer pretty much half of the day. I'm browsing around for photography blogs. I've been trying to find ones that do photojournalism or street photography and so far the ones that I've seen are the artsy ones.

Central TAFE has a short course on B/W darkroom printing. I'm so tempted to enrol as it's only 10 weeks and classes are held once a week.

I've also been trying to come up with a topic that I can work on for my honours project. My mind has been a big blank for now. Urgh. I hope I can find something. I'm itching to do something that's related to film photography. Wanted to do something that was related to animation at first but I'm leaning more and more towards photography right now.

The family's gonna be arriving today. I can finally get the film scanner :D That means I'll be using my film cameras more as it will be cheaper for me to get the films processed and scan the negs myself.

Whee scanner :D

:(

I miss my boyfriend.

Back in KK

I'm finally back in KK. Have been back for about a week now. I think.

Life here has been pretty average. I have my usual lunches with my mum. The only thing that I don't have to do now is send and pick up my mum. Which is good cause that means I don't have to wake up early.

One thing that's been pretty annoying here is the Internet. Streamyx has been sucky. It's really slow. It's so slow that I haven't been unable to watch any videos. Also, whenever I download anything, my MSN gets disconnected.

I am also missing my cacat terribly. I'm so used to waking up next to him every morning. I miss our morning coffee together. And next year, there will be no more of that.

Sigh.

Ah well.

I'll be going to KL on Friday! Yay! I'll be going to Klang first on Thursday cause my sister has a meeting there on Friday. And on Sunday, I'll meet my awesome awesome cacat! I'll also be going to Singapore with his family on the 18th. So more yays. I haven't been there for the longest time.

Sydney.

I've been here since Wednesday and I've taken so little photos. Most of the time I'm lazy to use my DSLR cause it's so big and heavy. I wished I had a smaller camera (like the G11 or the LX3) instead.

The other day I brought my 430 with me and I managed to almost finish the pack that was in there. There's one more shot left in the camera. Most of the shots were so fail (cause I took the fail ones in not-so-bright situations). Urgh. I wished the ISO on the pack films were higher.

Shall be posting photos soon, probably on Thursday.
