Photolog: The Olympus 35 RC

My Very First Frame

These photos were shot with an Olympus 35 RC, on Superia 200 film. Feels weird to be taking DSLR-equivalent pictures with a camera that's about the size of my palm.

SBS Bus, Singapore 2010Taken on the bus, on my way to church.

Clementi Bus Stop, Singapore 2010Here's an interesting question to ask: why is she tapau-ing for so many people? Consider the fact that this is an early Sunday morning, and it's rather safe to assume that she's buying breakfast for the whole family. But why her? Why not someone else? Could it be possible that she's the only one who goes to church? Or maybe they attend a later service? I didn't have time to ask (was late for church!) and so I shot this and hurried away.

I enjoyed the last one. More thoughts on rangefinders and film in a bit, got an exam to study for, first. Till then.

you scanned the film pictures into computer?

No, the camera grew a usb port and transferred the files over to my macbook by itself! =3

Seriously - when you develop today, photolabs don't give you finished pictures. They give you a CD of scanned, developed images.
