The Blog
My main blog used to be built from the ground-up with a rather-spaghetti-coded CMS/parser I wrote way back in my second year in college. It used to break a lot which resulted to some quirks which, thankfully, no one seemed to notice. At it’s current iteration (this is the fourth!), this blog is powered by WordPress.
The Photographs
I started taking an interest to photography when I was in my senior year of high school. The camera I had access to then was a Polaroid izone300. It’s not a very good camera—I believe it falls into that category called “toy cameras”—but, at least, it taught me that flash is bad and you should strive for natural lighting whenever possible. I had some good shots with it nonetheless, including one which made it to the front cover of our high school paper’s year-end issue. Disclosure: I was the lay-out artist of our school paper then.
At the later part of my freshman year, I got my hands on a Kodak EasyShare C913. Not the best of its line but a long jump from the Polaroid. I had lots of fun with it during UP’s Lantern Parades.
On my senior year, I finally decided to invest in an SLR. I got Sony’s SLT-A35 (which, ironically, isn’t actually an SLR). I had a lot of good times with it—a lot of fond photos and memories created with it—and it should still be working but nowadays I’m shooting with a Sony A6000.
