Botak Jones

“Eating helps to de-stress”, so they say. Going to Botak Jone might turn out differently though. It can add stress physically to you!!

I was pleasantly surprised when i tried their Fish & Chips & Black Pepper Chicken. The Fish & Chips is definite worth every dollar, easily matching up to Fish & Co standards. The Black Pepper Chicken, on the other hand, is a real surprise! The chicken breast meat as the biggest & thickest I’ve seen thus far. But the meat was really succulent. I wonder how they did it.

I got myself a massive cheese! Really really humongous stuff. I ended up not finishing the top bun! My gosh…

Photography-wise, it’s one of the few occasions that I got my lighting gear & close-up gear out for a food shoot. Nothing much to shout about, plain old stuff, i think. Shall explore more with food photography.

side note: I would avoid trying the Chinese Rojak store at the Clementi coffee shop where Botak Jones is also located. The service isnt great and the the prawn paste tasted odd.

Canonet Photos

I’ve come to dread the thoughts of carrying a heavy DSLR everyday. Without a doubt, DSLRs are great, functional cameras that gives me highest image quality. But there are days that I want a small camera that is able to meet similar expectations but in a much smaller & compact package. Derek & Gerald introduced me to Canonet QL17, since then I’ve nv regretted a single bit! Sure enough there are gives & takes… for instance the minimum focusing distance is 0.8m which is pretty far, hey, but it allows me to shoot everywhere i go.

Photos below are shoot on Fuji Superia 400. Mostly at F1.7. Developed & scanned using Fuji Frontier Machine with no digital manipulation at all.
