CanadInns Winter Wonderland
26
Dec
So. I told my friend Daphne that we should visit the CanadInns Winter Wonderland located at the RRX grounds. I don’t know what to expect except for the possible pretty holiday lights that will welcome us there.
Together with the rest of people (our combination that night was a rare one — we know each other, but we haven’t hang out together before, so it was fun), we went there, dared the cold winds that enveloped us. It’s colder in that part of the city, that’s for sure.
But the lights presentation were pretty, so the hard work paid off. Didn’t upload the rest of the stuff because they were too many. I hope these photos provided justice to the place.

Studio with Raoul

Dec
Went out to shoot with Raoul at the studio yesterday. Sybil wasn’t feeling well so I was unable to take her photos.
Anyway, so my sensor’s clean already, I think. It’s hard to tell considering that I only see the dust when I’m shooting blank spaces like skies. But I paid a hefty sum to clean this up, so it should be good. I think. Ha ha.
Raoul reminds me of a Japanese D-Boy talent, Endo Yuuya. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Dec
If only weather’s milder. But other than that I won’t complain. No more exams until next year! Destressing with Phoebi on a -35 degree Monday night.
I’ve been trying to catch up with my photography, which is pretty much non-existent lately. I had my Canon AE-1′s battery door fixed last Friday. There’s nothing wrong with it except that the battery door lock is broken and it’s been bothering me for a while. So last Friday I went to this repair shop to have my Nikon D40 sensor cleaned and the AE-1′s camera door fixed. The repair shop took my D40 but told me that they cannot have the AE-1 fixed because they have to change the whole door. What a bummer, I thought.
Luckily another camera store is just around the corner and decided to go there and take my chances. The lady there was really nice, and in no time my AE-1′s camera door was fixed! They only had to change the lock. The front desk lady also said that most of the time the AE-1′s problem is the battery door getting cracks, so mine was different. Well, so that was good.
Anyway Phoebi accompanied me to pick up my D40 this afternoon. Well, the test shot showed that there’s no more sensor dust. Good. I paid them a lot to do it.
