I bought a disposable film camera last month. I’m no professional photographer or an expert with film – my first and only experience with film was last year, when I bought the same camera to document the last few days of school.
I’m trying to make it a point to buy a camera once a month, at least in the short term. With it I hope to be able to document how I’m spending this break of mine, and also to capture the beauty of our little country. Singapore is actually quite beautiful, but we often overlook this beauty and take it for granted. Which is a pity actually, because we go to other countries and to us, these places are “the most beautiful place on Earth” but we can’t even appreciate our own home.

Everyday things
Most of these photos came out underexposed. I think it’s because I pretty much didn’t use the flash at all in this roll of film, so that’s something to take note of for May’s camera. It’s quite a pity because I took some night shots with this camera, and they came out completely dark. That being said, this camera works wonders in bright light! Hopefully the next roll of film will be better : ) It’s such an exciting journey!
