If you’re a tourist exploring Baguio, it's very unlikely to be gouged in this city by the locals. The cost of living and condition is reasonable. Gourmet meals you can have anytime without emptying your pocket. Short tours that are worth a taxi ride, for Baguio taxis charge cheap and drivers even give exact change - Sweet!
My stay in Baguio was a memorable series of walwal, in its very positive sense. Before I left the city, my escape mates took me to BenCab Musuem - because I've never been there. A day before, we decided it should also be our photoshoot day!
One of my mates is an extremely enthusiastic taker of pictures and has a special fondness of using film over digital photography. Most millenials would probably think its obsolete. I remember the days when the use of DSLR camera was such a hype, anyone who has it becomes an instant 'pro' photographer. And now anyone could shoot thousands of pictures using a smartphone camera and chimp over the result. A very millenial expediency.
One debatable topic though, they say one can't be a connoisseur in photography if he hasn't learned the methodical and manual approach of achieving the goal and getting it right in the camera using film. And while one cannot totally equate technical abilities with shooting film, it's unarguable that film is the cornerstone of art.
Although film is not time and cost efficient, there are Hollywood films that are still shot on motion picture film. There's no doubt that there are some, particularly in the fine arts world that still shoot film exclusively. Most of Japan's big commercials are still shot on film.
One thing I hate about film is the over exposure. A mistake or technical error would give you the sorrow of not being able to capture the moment.
BenCab would give you a Stendhal syndrome
Film's artform is entirely different. It is romantic.
The outcome is nostalgic.
We decided to reconnoiter the outside part of museum to give our lungs a break.
