Mother’s Day

After the past few days, this is the best weather day we have had in a bit! Perfect time for Mother’s Day to celebrate your mom, grandma, great-grandma (I can think of at least one) and share the day with her if you are so blessed. I am getting ready to head out to see mine, so this will not be a long post. Wishing all the mothers reading this post a Happy Mother’s Day!

By all means, I am privileged to have known so many amazing mothers. My mom emigrated from the Philippines. Since she arrived here, she has been motherly to many of her patients. Given that I am an only child, she had plenty of time to keep her eye on me!

Additionally, I see other examples of caring, involved mothers from my cousins and other family members. In like fashion, my cousins have similar stories of their mothers guiding them as we grow up. Even though I did not grow up with them every day, I still have the same reverence and respect for what they do. Undoubtedly raising our generation could not have been easy!

Winter Coming!

It was a pleasant summer in Northern VA this year. However, the change of seasons reminds us that winter is coming. For my uncle, he has had another amazing year for flowers! He takes a lot of time and effort to plant, feed, water, and maintain many roses, lillies, pansies, and other flowers in front of my mother’s house.

They always give me great opportunities to work out my macro lenses! These are film scans of Fujifilm Velvia 50 that I had left over from school (the sloppy border is added for fun). It’s amazing the amount of color and saturation this film provides.

Looking through slides is very old-school these days, but my eyes have a vastly different reaction when looking through transparent chromes. I don’t know if it really is a more analog/organic process, or if my eyes are just “used” to looking at pictures through a computer monitor. However, I really enjoy viewing pictures this way!

Unfortunately, it is just getting harder and harder to find good labs that will process E-6 films locally. Not to mention the up-front costs of film, the time to develop, the time to scan into the computer, etc. But I do have a collection of slides that I’m proud of. Additionally, I have some black-and-white negatives that I processed myself. I’ll see if any others are worth posting!
