A Novice, His Instax Mini 99, Polaroids & Tulipmania 2024

Today we have Wei Hang joining us for an instant photowalk at Gardens By the Bay's Flower Dome. He has been thinking of getting and Instax camera to take along with him on his travels but is still undecided. As such we lent him our Instax Mini 99 and he took it for a test drive at the Tulip exhibition as well as to take some candids at Funan.
