Name?
Adrian

We can call you…..
I guess Adrian works..

Location?
Singapore. The western half of it and mighty proud of it!

Describe yourself in a tweet!
Jaded but hopeful. Logical but completely random. Damn sure of myself but still figuring things out. OH! And massive Taylor Swift fan. There, I said it. (Is this still within the limit?) (Woops)

What’s always in your bag that you can’t live without?
Recently? I would say any gaming or audio device to tide through bus rides. This iPhone for one has been handy! (Was editing this on it)

What got you started with this mess?
(Dang Nabbit.. I have to retype this cause my original draft got lost)

Long story.. I once met a friend who was into the whole toy camera thing. She would whip out what I thought was a Vivitar and just point and shoot without looking through the viewfinder. And this made NO SENSE to me. No sense at all. I was thinking, if its film, shouldn’t you be making the effort to make every shot count? Her response to that was ‘not knowing what you get is half the fun’.

Some time later, I got to see some of @luc_sohow’s earlier works and I thought.. hey.. this looks pretty good. And @luc_sohow being the salesperson that he is introduced me to all this.What can I say? Not knowing really IS half the fun..

What’s your shooting style?
Hurm.. I guess I’m a little bit more pedantic here. I STILL prefer to frame shots. I just think it’s important to make each shot count. That’s why I’ve been using a TLR more recently which brings us to…

Cameras owned & which are you shooting most right now?
In order of acquisition: Holga, GakkenFlex TLR, GoldenHalf (shout out to all the friends who contributed to it! Thanks!) and Seagull 4 TLR. As you can see, the Seagull is the only one with a decent viewfinder.. hence my recent attachment to it.

Surely you must have a fave film to use too?
Can’t say I have a strong preference at the moment. I started with slide film and I really enjoyed using Velvia and EPP. With the Seagull now I’ve been looking to shoot more negatives.

You’re a philosopher. People have come from far and wide to hear you speak. You stand on a footstool/soapbox and are only allowed to deliver one line. What is the line that will impact millions of peoples lives?
Eh? Eh? Nani? Naze koko ni iru?

Fave photo you have taken SO FAR?

Holga 120N, Velvia 200

One lazy afternoon, @chaton and I took a 1-hour walkabout during our lunch break. I saw the flower first and I thought the red tones would emphasise it nicely, so I decided to give it a shot. Turned out very nicely, I think.
