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 …

I’m a horrible dad!

While Fitzand’s mommy wasn’t watching, I let him enjoy the ‘real deal’ by letting him hold and eat his ice cream cone. Well, a mess is pretty expected and I was there laughing with him and taking few shots (and wiping ice cream off the floor) today. Sometimes I ask …

Beauty : Chinese style

The Beijing Olympics didn’t get me any excited at all but at the same time, a Chinese style beauty did! Oh, I ain’t referring to the pretty girl holding the camera in the photo below, but the specially designed Diana F+ camera done by Dorophy Tang, a talented China/Hong Kong …

What bird???

Blackbird, Fly. What a funny name for a camera huh? This company in Japan, Superheadz will be releasing these ultra cool TLR cameras in Summer 2008. They use 35mm film instead of the medium format ones commonly used in old TLRs. How I wish I could lay my dirty paws …

A kind of magic

Almost sold this Rollei Magic II TLR away some time ago after owning it for some time. As it’s the only TLR I own that has a meter built-in, and also a cool ‘auto’ setting mode, I decided to give it a try before reconsidering the sale. Using TLRs has …
