a year

A year ago, I left home to go to Bangkok for 10 months. Today, I'm going back for a full year.

april 7

Lately I've been getting a lot of spam comments. Most get deleted by the Blogger before I can even see them on my blog, but it's still painful to know that your blog gets spammed. So, I've decided to deactivate the comments. Just letting you know, that's all.

doubts

I'm starting to have doubts about my photographs. A lot of the pictures shot/developed during my time in Thailand turned out either horribly white washed, like the ones above. I used 100 ISO film for the first time which is probably the reason why it's so white washed, but the overall experience of shooting and developing film isn't the same anymore.

It doesn't mean I'm going to stop shooting in film. But I don't know what to do either.

There are few things I've missed while I was in Bangkok.

2. Pringles that actually taste like Pringles
3. Mom's kitchen (I didn't have one in Bangkok!)
4. Snow
5. My comfy mattress
6. My cello, Molly
7. Being able to order water (still can't do it in Thai!)
