I really enjoy bringing my film cameras to outdoor events, especially my manual SLR film cameras with defunct light meters. I've got this weird liking for taking night shots on my SLRs without a light meter and a flash and then wait and see if I did it right with the settings based on the photos that come out after that. So for this time around at the Good Vibes Festival, I brought along a point-and-shoot (this one can never go wrong) and the Canon AE-1, both equipped with Agfa Vista 200 rolls.

My Spotmatic usually follows me around so bringing the Canon AE-1 instead this time had me feeling slightly insecure on how my photos would turn out. Fortunately, I loved every shot, no matter if it was out-of-focus, blurred, or totally nonsense.

So I've picked some of my favourite film photos from both rolls shot on the Canon SXL and Canon AE-1 and placed it chronologically to sum up my Good Vibes Festival. Don't mind my imperfect photos and spot Joji, Jess Connelly, and some strange shot of Stranger Things!

Never knew that the first quarter of 2019 would be so eventful for me, especially in the month of March. I attended a music festival, visited a new city, when for a concert, and feasting with friends.

Tried to salvage some of the receipts I got from Jakarta but wasn't really satisfied with the outcome here. But I gotta admit that I got some good materials from the trip! Also, thank you Koonie for surprising me with some super cute shiba inu and cat stickers.

I attended the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival, which has been on my to-go list for a few years now. As I never considered Jakarta as a city that I would travel to, this was the best opportunity for me to do so as well as catch up with my friends in the city. It was a great experience overall, both Jakarta and the jazz festival. I actually enjoyed my time so much that I didn't want to come back. I also took tons of film photos when I was there and documented it at:

Before my trip, I couldn't find any English articles talking about the Java Jazz Festival and how the festival goes about. So I wrote a mini guide HERE with some information about what to expect and what to prepare at the Java Jazz Festival for first-timers. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND especially if you love chilling out and jazz music.

Feel free to drop any questions at the comment box if you need more information on other things that I have missed out and I will try my best to answer them.

And yes, these photos were taken with my film cameras. You can have cameras inside but don't go overboard with the size of the lenses and you'll be fine!
