For the first time I visited Chinese Garden at Darling Harbour, Sydney. It's a kinda unusual place in my opinion. Although Darling Harbour is very close to the China town, its unanticipated appearance at there doesn't seem to be mixing well with the atmosphere of Darling Harbour. However, I have to say the garden itself is very well maintained and a nice place to spend some time.

On the day I was acquainted with the fellow photographers and this might be the last photo shooting of 2012. Have a great new year guys!

All the images were taken with Olympus OM10 with Kodak Tri-x 400.

My shooting with Tri-x continues. Unfortunately, there was a dreadful news about film this week. Film is dying apparently and no one can deny that. Since Eastman Kodak marketed the first flexible photographic roll film in 1885, I joined the party 127 yrs after, maybe it's a bit late.

More hopeful response to the newsweek article written by Bellamy, also well known as Japanese Camera Hunter, is a very good read. (as a side note, my camera bag was also featured on the site).

Maybe I'm just opening a bottle of champagne for film on the deck of sinking Titanic. If so, there is no better reason to shoot more as much as I can :)

Thanks for visiting.
