• When Subject Meets Photographer: Self-Portraits!

  
  Sometimes when there's nothing interesting going on and nobody else is around, it's hard to find a subject to shoot. But don’t be put down; there is always you! A self-portrait can be made anytime and anywhere. You don’t need to be super vain--no, I think everybody can use some self-portrait time every now and then. What you get is a very interesting collection of “selfies” which is a nice way to look back and capture the most intimate moments of your own life. Nowadays, it’s even easier with everybody carrying smartphones and digital cameras, but nothing beats a good analogue self-portrait.

• LC-Wide After Effect: OSSD (Obsessive-Selfshot-Disorder)

  
  Shooting with LC-A+ for more than 4 years, I've always been behind the viewfinder and get my source of inspiration by looking forward. Shooting friends, landscape, the mundane, abstract, etc. Last year I get myself a LC-Wide. From then on I noticed there is a new face keep appearing in my photo collection. Eh? That's me!

• Self-Portraits as a State of Mind

  
  In order to snap a natural-looking, candid shot, it helps if your subject is either: (a) unaware you are taking a picture, or (b) very comfortable with you as a photographer. Well, both of these criteria are non-existent when you're taking self-portraits and realize you feel: self-conscious, awkward, and a little too narcissistic or self-indulgent taking pictures of yourself. Here are my quick tips to avoiding stiff, overly-posed pictures.

• Film Development

  
  I've started developing my own black & white film lately and am still getting the hang of loading it onto the reels correctly. The first few rolls were disastrous but I've gotten better since and have even gotten some cool effects from my mistakes.
