Hello! My name is
Pauline Yu and I've been breathing earth air since September 2, 1990. I'm a Filipina who is a Bicolano and a Visayan. How? You figure it out. I'm currently on my 3rd year studying
Nursing in FEU,
batang recto. I have this thing for pictures with crazy color saturations, film photography, analog cameras, indie music, bands, mixtapes and road trips. I don't know what's it called, that "thing", maybe it's
LOVE. I'm a
retro-baby and I love the 90's. It brings back a lot of childhood memories. From Eraserheads and Parokya ni Edgar to Coke Pogs and Mcdonald's happy meals.
You usually see me armed with my K660i and
ETHAN. pointing at the the sky and taking pictures of clouds. Maybe you will see me on the street with my IC100 pretending to tie my shoelaces when in fact I'm taking a worm's-eye view shot. I am just a person who happens to come across a wonderful hobby, photography. No, I'm no photographer. I don't consider myself one, it's a very complex thing to label yourself as one. It doesn't mean you own an expensive DSLR, you're already a photographer. It takes a lot of hard work.
I started with my mother's Canon point and shoot and from there on, she let me explore it until I reached it's capacity for manual functioning. She then gave me
ETHAN., for my 18th birthday. A D40 which I never dreamt of owning. Until now I'm still exploring my D40. Too many functions and crazy combinations, which makes experimenting more exciting. Then I heared about
lomography, and I hailed film photography superior than digital photography. I was lucky I was able to experience using film in analog cameras when I was a kid. Its a wonderful thing once you hone your skills in this field. I'm a starter and I'm still learning.
So that's it, more film tales, happy/sad accidents and change will happen. It's inevitable, we just have to adapt. For now, I'm enjoying the things I have a thing for... at least I'm happy.
