Greetings to all bloggers and visitors.

Hello, outside world!

I don't remember why I started this blog in 2007 and suspended it for such a long time. I just decided to connect to the world yesterday to share my thoughts, my works, and my personal hobby, film photography and cameras.

A bit about me My name is Thuong, and some of my friends from the West may call me Crane (because I said they could call me Crane). I found it interesting to clean, lubricate, and adjust (CLA) my own film camera. I shoot film first and develop and scan my own work too. I shoot both digital and film, but I love film more (I may make a post to tell why later, because it is worth telling but complicates things).

Why I made this blog?  recording, learning, and sharing.

Recording and learning,

I would like to write down anything I experienced so I could recall it much later. I hope someone will find something helpful while they are facing a similar difficulty when doing their own CLA for the beloved camera. Some of my posts will be useful because I faced some difficulty when I found nothing related to my need on the internet, such as how to disassemble a Voigtlander Vito III and how to adjust its rangefinder and check the correct spot. I made my camera work properly, which is why I would like to share my recording.

At the same time, I'm hoping that someone else will comment on what I do and how I do it in order to improve my approach. The most important thing is that I'm no expert on CLA cameras; it's my hobby.

Sharing, I love cameras, film cameras, mechanical things, and I love a well-taken photograph too. If it is my photo, I love it because I love what I saw in reality or in my visualization in front of a landscape, and I would like to give it the best effort to take and make a photo more like I would like it to be. And then I like to show that feeling to you all. I hope I can do it as well as I want.

I hope this hello will reach someone. Let me know if you are here.

See you next post.
