Just more snaps from the Lumix LX3. This is now my everyday Lomo and B&W camera of sorts. A big cheat, I know. I like it because I can make it do almost anything I want when I’d rather not lug around a digital SLR and would rather snap and blog photos without any post–process work. Not that post–processing is a sin, because it’s not.

You know you want this too, Jayvee. 😉

Shooting from the hip

Lazy Barbie.

I could tell you now how I endured my 9–day nightmare without internet and how I fixed the problem all by myself (no thanks to Smart Bro), but that would be unfair to all (yes, all five of you) of my readers who visit this site wanting to know what I’ve really been doing these days. So I’ll keep it simple: I bought a new camera.

As if I didn’t have enough cameras to play with, no matter how hard I tried to fight the force, I failed. I am now a proud owner of a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. The only time I was this excited over a camera was when I got to buy my first digital SLR. Seriously, this camera is tons of fun.

Narcissism in black & white.

More from my LX3 in the coming days. 😉

Luck and the Nokia 2680

Nokia 2680.

Luck strikes, sometimes. It was supposed to be a lazy day, but since I was invited to Nokia’s “Who Do You Think Are?” launch to introduce the 7210 Supernova and the 2680 slide, I had to move my butt quite earlier than usual to get there on time. I felt it was going to be a lucky day, so I went despite the rain.

Here’s a secret about Nokia events: you’re never supposed to miss them. They give away great prices, and that includes their latest phones! I was lucky enough to win one of two phones that day, the Nokia 2680 slide. It’s basically the same as the super–thin 2630 and the classic–looking 2600, but in a slider phone configuration. More importantly, it does not suffer from the reboot issues that plagued some of the earlier 2630 units. Overall, the Nokia 2680 is a basic phone in an attractive package. It was visually appealing that every time I showed it to someone, they couldn’t guess it retails for less than 5,000 pesos.

Too bad I’m not a two–phones–in–my–pocket kind of guy.
