INSTANTANEOUS REWARD
Posted by Hub Pacheco (Pasay, Philippines) on 2 December 2006 in Miscellaneous.
Our student publication did a story on our university's security personnel's hanups with management - delayed wages, etc. I feel for them because given our country's economic situation, it's relatively difficult to land a job, keep it, and support yourself with it. Money is hard to come by these days. And in my case, with me shooting with good ol' 35mm film, money is always a concern for me. I hesitate at times to bring my camera around because at the back of my mind, I'm thinking, "I have to process this roll, scan it, and everything." I count my film rolls because I have a budget for them. I bet most of the people here in Aminus3 don't have that same problem. Doesn't that suck? Not being able to do what you love to do because of financial constraints? And even with my discount at my local photo lab, the cost is still a burden to me. But that's life, and until my Fuji Superia 400s are replaced by 2GB Sandisk CFs, I'll be conservatively doing what I love to do.
