Jala Jala

A joy ride led us to a sleepy town in Rizal beside Laguna Lake. It's called Jala Jala. The place was so serene that it immediately placed me into daydream mode. And I don't know, Jala Jala got a Chang Chao-Tang surrealistic feel to it--or, should I say, mood. Here, I took a few snaps with my Zorki which was then loaded with a Tri-X. I should have taken more pictures but I was more absorbed in experiencing the scenery.

There is nothing extraordinary in the scene below. However, I saw in it  a special warmth that reminds me of my childhood. Everything was so simple and carefree. I thought life should really be like this. How come later in life we became so distracted with various unnecessary desires and anxieties? As adults, we have the propensity to forget the essentials – the things that really matter. However, seeking the things that matter is a conundrum. We either got lost or end up in a moral cul-de-sac.

By the way, as if it would really matter, I took this photo while wandering in Bacolod City with my Zorki 4.  It was loaded with a Lucky 200.

So, this is my first post. I guess I will be using this blog to share my photographic sojourn.Nothing really serious as photography is just something I do on my free time. By the way, the following are my main cameras - a Pentax Spotmatic, a Zorki 4, and a Ricoh GRD IV. I love the nostalgic feel of analogue but I do still believe in the convenience of digital. 

Perhaps in the next posts, I will probably write more sense. I hope.
