1st Litratong Pinoy EB: Kodakan Para Sa Kalayaan
Litratong Pinoy had it’s first EB last Monday, June 9, 2008, and it was called Kodakan para sa Kalayaan. This is in time for the Philippines’ 110th Indpependence Day and also perfect for LP’s theme for this week which is Kalayaan. There were three of us from LP, Pete, Lino and me, and we were joined by a couple of Pete’s friends, Julius and Mike. We met at the UP Oblation, introduced ourselves, shared stories, and then photo op for about 30 minutes. Then we had lunch at the UP Coop (thanks to Pete and Julius for the lunch) and decided to go to Binondo with Julius.
We took a jeep to Quiapo (we encountered a very masungit na mamang jeep) and took photos of Quiapo Church. We also dropped by FANS Digital Imaging to inquire about the planned LP coffee table book. After that we walked going to Ongpin, then Binondo, then Manila Post Office, and then the Bonifacio Shrine near Manila City Hall. It was a long and tiring day but it was fun and very informative! Thanks to Mike also who acted as our tour guide and explained the history of the places we passed by.
This is my first time to try out Lomography and I used my very first toy camera, Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. I underestimated actually it’s capacity of being ultra wide. If you look at the photos below, the first photo is what I saw when I looked in the cam’s viewfinder and the second photo is what I came out when I had the film processed and scanned. Can you see the big difference
Here is the complete set of photos that I took, I posted it in my multiply account. Comments, suggestions and constructive criticisms are welcome.
