From expired films and plastic cameras to new films and a proper manual camera, I am now able to capture still motions in a different way. The difference in quality is astonishing, something you realise when you compare your photos with your previous albums. The down side? The manual cameras, at least for mine, is heavy. The light plastic cameras allows you to bring it out at all times, allowing for more spontaneous shots! It's a give and take!
On a Saturday morning, I embarked on an adventure with my like-minded pal, Cindy, whom I met through the restaurant I used to work in this year. Travelling with people of like minds make trying out fresh ideas a lot easier! Imagine exploring weird camera angles and asking a friend who is not comfortable with posing to give an indignant or fearful expression behind your lens. All I can be certain is that they will present you a puzzled face which screams, "HUH??"
Beneath is my video take on Istana Woodneuk. It is not a sorrowful one. Happiness is not just characterised by confetti, loud music and ecstatic faces. Witnessing infrastructure that has passed the test of time in its most vulnerable state is beauty.
