Being in a lockdown with an elbow injury can be plain torture when you have all the time in the world to play guitar and experiment and make music and yet not be allowed to do so until your elbow is healed. So I just did the next best thing, which is to do a […]
It’s been a while since I last used my Rolleiflex 2.8FE2. It’s a camera that is older than me (manufactured between 1959-1960) but it’s still functioning like it should which is a great testament to the German build quality and workmanship.

This was part of their DiMarzio Collection where in they installed DiMarzio Vintage pickups in it. I didn’t like the way the DiMarzio sounded so I […]

Today the northern part of the Philippines is under severe storm warning due to Typhoon Rosita (international name: Yutu) making land fall. Metro Manila experienced some gusty winds and occasional torrential rains… seems like a good day to get reacquainted with the Fuji X100F, which I admit to have neglected for a while ever since getting […]
