It’s Friday night and I’m just too tired to go out for my weekly lubricating exercise (beer!), so I sit at home, scanning a roll of expired Neopan 1600 black & white film taken recently. I’m smiling because this is probably the first roll of black & white film that …
An early taste of Death
As some of us are anxiously waiting for the worldwide launch of Metallica’s latest album ‘Death Magnetic’ since 2003’s ‘St Anger’ album, I stumbled upon some online tracks & video in their official website www.metallica.com … do check them out if you are a fan (or hater). Found out that …
Long live TRASH CAMS!
Ever wondered why the hell would someone wanna use crappy cameras like Dianas or Holgas? Just wait til you see these cameras … trash cameras! Yes, the are really made with trash and they do work! They are made by this Czech photographer, Miroslav Tichy who even used these ‘cameras’ …
Plastic goes digital
I’ve been wanting to try this for some time but after an unsuccessful attempt at using the original Diana camera’s lens, I gave up. Last night I decided to give it another go, this time using the Diana+ lens and since the Diana+ allows you to just remove the lens …
A beautiful mistake
… well at least to me. I love these! This is my accidental ‘collaboration’ with baby Fitzand. Not long ago, I loaded a roll of Provia into my Flexaret VII with the 35mm adapter installed. Trying to be clever, and wanting to expose the sprockets too, I removed the 35mm …
Ricoh AD-1 : Test roll
My first test roll on this good condition AD-1 that I picked up at a real bargain, as I tagged along a friend who was buying a pretty rare (expensive!) rangefinder from the same seller. As it’s a fully auto camera, it fits my lazy random shooting style, so I …
Pinhole test #2: A (slightly) better roll
After a major disaster with the first roll (taken indoors), I burned a roll of Optima 100 film on the Holga WPC (wide pinhole camera) earlier today before an afternoon session at the Irish pub in Boat Quay. Seems that I’m slightly better at using it outdoors eh? I forgot …
LC-A : Resurrection
Collected two rolls of test shots from the lab today and one roll turned out to be good news and the other … a total disaster. Let’s have the good news first. Picked up this old LC-A which the previous owner claimed to be producing Lensbaby-like results. Being a big …
Cat : Rewind
Bored to death on a wet Sunday night, I was clearing my harddisk when I came across these photos I took a long time ago at Tekka market which is now under renovation. This cute cool cat was slacking near the food centre and didn’t seem to mind when I …
Leftovers …
It’s been pouring since late morning and I’m stuck at home after a MRT ride with Fitzand from AMK to Orchard. Running around with him is helping me lose some weight I guess but my back and arms are aching now. Since he’s enjoying his afternoon nap, I scanned some …
