I ordered the Contax T2 on July 1st… and basically stopped sleeping properly after that. Not because of stress. Because of pure, childlike excitement.

There’s something about the imperfect that feels… perfect.

Still a Legend?

There are places that don’t just stay in your memory. They echo. Hong Kong is one of those places for me.

No screens. No preview buttons. Just 27 frames and whatever the streets had to offer.

Shoot what you love. Not what’s trending.

So, who gets to call themselves a photographer?

We cling to the old ways not just out of nostalgia, but because of how they make us feel. There’s joy in the effort. Magic in the unknown.

There’s something I love about both worlds. With digital, I get control. I can fine-tune everything until the image feels just right. With analog, there’s this beautiful unpredictability, but also the constant pressure of limited chances. Every press of the shutter costs money. It’s like walking a tightrope between freedom and risk.

A film side by side

Shooting with the Hasselblad XPan feels more like composing a scene than just taking a photo. You only get 21 shots, and every one feels like a little gamble. No preview. No second chances.

Everyone’s chasing megapixels, 8K reels, and autofocus that can track a mosquito’s heartbeat. Meanwhile, I’m manually winding film and hoping I didn’t mess up the loading. There’s something beautiful and slightly ridiculous about that.

That camera slips into my pocket, disappears in my hand, and lets me focus on what really matters.
The moment.

There’s something different about photographing at night. It’s hard to describe, but once it grabs you, it doesn’t let go.
