Lunch time in Singapore: most people eat at 'hawker centres', not restaurants. Hawker centres are open air public spaces where, long ago, street food vendors were brought in from the streets. They ply their trade with better ventilation and sanitation.
Here's a peek into the hawker centre I grew up in. I ate half of my meals here (the other half at home). Hundreds of dishes at US$1-5 each, I miss eating like this.
The Tenderloin in SF is oft-maligned. People are afraid of it, and point to it as proof of many of San Francisco's problems.
To me, my neighborhood welcomes all: including immigrants and homeless people. Almost all of my neighbors are people of color. Its languages are Vietnamese, Teochew, Spanish and Yucatec Maya.
I'm deeply suspicious of anyone who shits on the TL. We also have the best farmers market

I screwed up and accidentally solarized a good portion of the first roll of #film that I shot with the Nikonos.

I feel like I’ve really nailed my color processing workflow.
I only use the Bellini C-41 kit (personal pref to have the bleach and fix separate. I’m sure other kits work well too but I like this one most).
I’m happy with the results. On 35mm, I scan at home with a Plustek scanner (tried every scanning option and hated this the least). For medium format I collect enough rolls to go to Photolaundry in SF where I can rent a Fuji Frontier for $20/h.
Ever since Polaroid announced their new I-2 camera earlier this month, I've been publishing articles about their products.
But today I'd like to tell you a story of how we got to this point. As some of you may know, the company and its machines were saved from being crushed seconds before it was all lost forever. This is the story of its incredible survival:
Usually I’m the one asking people if I can take a photo of them, but today an older man with a digital camera stopped me and asked if he could take a picture of me, coz I had a film camera he really liked
The area around Fu Lu Shou Complex in Singapore is a religious Buddhist / Hindu / Taoist hotspot. It's also where you will find many Chinese devotees of Hindu gods.
