Strolling at the park with my grandmama, I overlapped lilies onto her photo :P I don't know if she'll appreciate this so-called 'effect' very much though...

From loading the film to taking the pictures,
From waiting for the film to be developed to having the printouts in your hands...

the whole process is irritably exciting.
I was about to compare this process to that of an unborn child in a womb.
But if I'm even amused by this kind of wait,
I wonder what its like to physically wait 10 months to see the results to which no one could quite foresee the future of.

An insight I've gotten from this is that maybe taking photos, while at the superficial level, are great for provoking one's aesthetic senses, but could also, ultimately be a great way to train up patience.

Here are my first attempts, my first roll of film on my Diana F+, as expected, I'm not supposed to get anything good in the first roll. These are some of the 'better' ones nonetheless...
Oh well at least I had fun :P

Its great how everythings completely off focus = x ="
I haven't made much sense of how much the vision through the gaping hole differs what's been exposed to the film... smart me.

4 overlaps in this one above, I was playing with the bedside lamp I have in my room.

Lighting in the Golden Finch Restaurant, Causeway bay. Never expected it to turn out this way, it looks more like a cubist piece than a photograph...
