Okay, I admit that I’m dead bored. Here I am, taking photos of some of my toys again. This time, they are the Ami 66, a plastic toy camera from Poland during the communist era and the Druh Synchro camera, also from Poland around 1956. I’ve yet to use them …
If you can’t take nice photos …
… try making nice cameras! Oh well, that’s how it works … I think. Finally I’ve won a Lomo Home Of The Day at www.lomography.com with photos (digital ones!) of my dressed up Holgas! Now I’ve got 50 piggies to spend (no, they don’t air mail 50 real pigs to …
Probably the weirdest Holga in the world
After days (and nights!) of struggling, finally managed to put together my latest ‘design’ using tons of 1×1 Lego blocks. What took me so long was figuring out how to best place the blocks and components together without affecting the normal operation of the camera. Not sure if I’ll ever …
A spread of Irish cheer (on your toast?)
It’s 2007 news but I’ve just discovered that Marmite and Guinness came together and produced this limited edition Marmite Guinness, sold in Britain and Ireland for St Patrick’s Day (which falls on my birthday … ahem!). From info online, it seems that they use some by-product of the beer making …
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit
Finally a non-photo related post. Just sharing one of my favourite Fort Minor track and of course the pretty emo video. This song came to my mind when I heard from an online friend, how she’s gonna lose her unborn baby due to some reason. It’s strange how some things …
Life’s a beach
Still struggling to go though the bunch of photos I took of Fitzand during the short stay in Sentosa over the weekend. Since this is his first trip to the beach, I wanted to take more photos of him having fun at the beach but we were both too hot …
Sunny weekend
Took opportunity of the long weekend to bring baby Fitzand for some fun at Sentosa, and of course not forgetting some snapshots using my now favourite Lomo LC-A+ with it’s wide angle attachment. Loaded my last roll of Lomo slides on it and managed to get it cross-processed and scanned …
Cats? You crazy?
Playing with a friend’s LC-A+ (I sold mine off some time ago and now I’m dying to get one again!) and burned a roll of Agfa Precisa and Lomo slides on some random shots during my trip to Malaysia. I’m damn sure many will go ‘What? You wasted so many …
… and the verdict
Finally finished the 24 exposures roll of Elitechrome on the Elikon 525 and got it cross-processed. After the initial screw-up where I probably lost a couple of frames, I did a pretty fast test on it while easily burning the entire roll of film. How do I find the camera? A …
Poison on loan
A friend loaned me his Elikon 535 camera for my weekend trip to Malaysia. Upon my return next Monday, I’ll have to decide … keep it or return it. Loaded a roll of expired Elitechrome for the test and realised that the film counter wasn’t moving (after several rounds of …
