This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know. What can I say, it's an expensive hobby. I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event.

They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.

Jadi semacem workshop tenunan Lombok. Aku sempet nenun lho. Dengan harapan nggak merusak tenunan si ibu, akhirnya aku cobain nenun. Sambil nenun sambil mikir juga ini bikin motifnya gimana, kok bisa rapi begini. Benangnya dimasuk-masukin pokoknya sama si ibu terus 2 kali h...
