Happy Film Photography Day! ♥
I'm grabbing the opportunity of this celebratory mood in film photography to announce that I'm giving away film stuff :) It has been two years since I officially started wonderfully documenting life with film, and I don't see myself putting a halt to it anytime soon despite how financially-challenging this hobby is at times. In spite of limited availability of film and processing labs, I'm glad that there is still an active underground community of film photographers and online shops here in the Philippines. In two years, I have been able to get my hands with five film cameras and a number of films that can suffice me for a year.
Two months ago, I have luckily acquired a Ricoh GR1S that I have been waiting for months! At first, I thought of selling three of my cameras so I could somehow get even with my "savings" (quotations, because who am I kidding here I don't have savings) because the Ricoh bored a deep hole in my pocket (I don't regret it though!). But then I thought, why not just give away one, instead of putting myself in such a tedious process of selling stuff online (answering inquiries and meeting up with the buyer) when I really don't expect any profit from it?
So... (such a long introduction, no?) in line with my birth month, I have decided that I'm giving away my very first film camera: a Holga 120N plastic film camera, and some 35mm color negative films! Since these are in different formats, there will be two winners (one for the camera, and one for the films). To join, simply comment your answer to the question: What is your favorite subject to photograph, AND why?
And to save myself from the challenge of subjectively picking my favorite answers, I will be using a randomizer to choose the winners :)
