A good friend of mine borrowed me his Canon AE-1... just for the sake of it. Luckily enough I also got a deal on expired :'( Lucky film . 10 rolls at a mere 2 dollars price, any way you look at it it's a good deal, regarding that it only have a couple of months expired, and film is scarce this days in this country. Anyways I'm taking this as an opportunity to try new stuff, and to see if the BelOMO Vilia I received as a gift 5 months ago is working properly. At first glance it looks pretty functional, but you'll never know with FSU cameras, especially with crappy compacts like a Vilia. I still can't believe Lomography were selling it at around 100 bucks. But you can't help to be awe with Lomography's convincing advertising campaigns. Sadly, I almost fall for it.

I'm also cleaning up my gallery, deleting some of my first shots when I started photography almost a year ago. I have become a little picky over time. I remember when I used to go out to photograph, I shot almost everything that caught my attention. Now it's up to three of four shots, 6 tops if I'm lucky. And I still have so many areas to improve. With this "all or nothing" batch of expired films I'm gonna try to develop a few needed habits, try to overcome my impatience, learn to wait and anticipate, improve my light estimation skills (I still have trouble estimating the correct exposure in low light situations, specially indoors), try more hipshots and hiperfocal distance shots.

Well, take good care all of you. Cheers!
