Camera Rescue

Post 1

This story begins in May. I was in Lipa with my mother and the De Guzman clan, trading the hectic madness of post-election Metro Manila for the smoldering calm of post-election Batangas. The Robinsons mall was closing for the day, and I was rushing to meet up with them all for dinner (Jollibee, of course), so I only had a fleeting look at the camera in the Photoline display window. Boxy build, brushed chrome finish, manual film advance lever, and an unremarkable kit zoom lens. Two things stuck: "NIKON FM3A" and the "PHP 6,xxx.xx" price tag. By the time I had ordered my Yumburger meal, I had decided to rescue that SLR from a neglected and unfulfilled existence in a film lab in a provincial mall.
