I have a ton to say about HBO series, Girls, the seeming T.V. underdog turned sensation. What is it about this show that has drawn the attention of so many people, even those that are outside of its ...
Courtesy of my LC-A+, Kodak Elitechrome 400, and Art East Island, HK. We went all the way to Chai Wan to see my stuff up in Lightbombs Contemporary’s pop-up showroom. Art East Island happened p...
Self-portrait, aka motivation to get rid of those calves. Maybe when I’m not busy. Lately, most of my ventures into film photography involve just finding enough light and clicking. The LC-A+ ha...
Sometimes I think of little bits of things to write about, that have nothing to do with each other, or are only vaguely connected by places and things like that. Sometimes, they die their sad idea de...
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting “The New iPad” for a while now (retina display!), to use for work, and planned on getting one when I was in Hong Kong. Funnily enough, Glob...
My brother, at an exhibit around Art East Island. Me & Jeff Koons. I’ve been going around Hong Kong, so I haven’t had a real chance to sit down and write about the art fair. The last...
I’ve been thinking a lot about sadness lately, but only because it seems to have elected itself as a permanent sheen on my otherwise pretty good life. I have found myself getting sad over the l...
I haven’t been taking loads of pictures, so imagine how gravely disappointed I was when I found out that the black-and-white roll I tried came out of the developers as a long, black strip. Appa...
I’ve gotten really cool stuff in the mail the past few days! First up is a 7″ and a postcard from one of my favorite friends from far away, Zet! It’s really sweet of her to do this,...
Quarterly Co. launched a few months ago, gripping my attention immediately with its solid branding and clean design. The idea behind it is interesting, too. They select contributors—well-known and re...
Romeo Lee & the empty table of refreshments. The roster of artists currently on display at West Gallery is infinitely interesting. Veering away from the typical four-show format, there were five...
Heima’s paper display during Southern Stories. LC-A+ (wide lens attachment), Fuji Provia 100. A few snapshots from April. I have lost all focus-knowledge of my LC-A+. I don’t know what ha...
The past few weeks have been busy and even though sometimes I feel like I haven’t been doing enough, a review of events—I’d like to think—proves otherwise. So far, April has seen two art-...
There has been an influx of babies in my family for the last year or so. I’ve had only one nephew, Jaime Alfonso, for five years before the other babies started pouring in. There was Iniko Matt...
A week ago, I noticed a large number of traffic to my portfolio, http://carina-santos.com, coming from one James Templeton. At that point, he had only a splash page and a banner announcing that his s...
I tried to keep them small things this time. Read 7 books. Cut down the amount drastically, because I never reach the original reading goals I’ve set anyway. Clean out closet or my side of the ...
Photo by Don Vytiaco March closed with a screenwriting workshop, led by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas, who’s now a supervising producer for CSI:NY. I’ve never watched an episode of CSI:NY and I te...
Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100. We waited and waited and waited for the plane to get to where we were. It rained in between. I was particularly antsy and worried because Zest Air is notorious for delays...
On the last day, all of us (sans my brother) woke up extra early to walk the 299 steps up the hill to catch the sunrise. 299 steps doesn’t sound like much, but I was winded about two-thirds up....
Kodak Portra 400NC. Bellarocca, for its lack of a nice beach to lounge on (there is a narrow strip of rocky sand surrounding the perimeter of the island), compensates with two nice pools. Although no...
My sister & me on the airport ramp. Fuji Reala 100, cam ASA set to 400 by mistake. This vacation was planned a long time ago by my awesome mom! We didn’t even know where Marinduque was (no...
I was gifted with an Olympus Pen EE and, along with my Sprocket Rocket and LC-A+, it came with me on a recent trip to Buenavista, Marinduque, home to the (pretty) famed Bellarocca Resort and Spa. We ...
The trouble with shooting with film is that it has enormous room for error. I haven’t touched a digital camera in months (I’m looking to buy a Canon S100 in May, though) so I’ve bee...
Lunch at Jatujak, Lomography CN 800 March whizzed by so fast, I haven’t even had a chance to get grounded and settled in before April decides to slam into my face. I mean, tomorrow is already t...
Film used: Kodak Gold 400 and Lomography CN 800. Finally, I get to somewhat write about Death Cab for Cutie. Being generally unemployed as we are, Sarie and I lined up at around 1:30 p.m. for an 8 o&...
Lomography LC-A+, Solaris Ferrania 400 For the April 2012 issue of Rogue magazine, I wrote about artist, Arturo Sanchez. On a drizzly day last February, Joseph and I went to Art’s studio in Ang...
LC-A+, Lomography CN 800 Happy birthday to my mom, who was born on the 22nd. And also to my papa, who was born on the 17th (but I don’t have photos from his birthday). For ze birthday dinner, w...
Sprocket Rocket, Fuji Provia 100 I’m no photographer; I just do it for fun. Frankly, at this point, I would not trust myself with a commercial or editorial shoot. Thankfully, my friend Bia (a p...
The Hunger Games (2012) Director: Gary Ross Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth There isn’t much to say about the film adaptation of the first of Suzanne Collins’...
I rarely ever write about television anymore—or any form of popular culture, for that matter—and I don’t necessarily engage in fandom as much either, but I’ve been faithfully watching som...
