Hometown blues

Took a trip back to my hometown back in Malaysia and as usual, bored to death there. So I took a slow drive to this little fishing village named ‘Segenting’ which was about 30 minutes away from my home in Batu Pahat, Johor, and took some shots there. Well the …

Collaboration with F from Lomomanila

Despite my hectic life, I participated in a collaboration project organized by LomotionSG and LomoManila . Teamed up with a LomoManila forum member by the nick ‘F’ using a lucky Super 200 color negative. Frankly, this is my first collaboration (if you don’t count the pretty messed up collaboration I …

Holga + 35mm fun

The Holga camera has always been big fun but the cost of 120 film and developing is always a pain. Put a roll of Ilford XP2 on it, using the Superheadz 35mm adapter which makes shooting 35mm film on a Holga be piece of cake … and I’m very happy …

Kodak Ultra Color 400UC … is poison!

To be frank, I’ve never heard of this film until someone gave me roll not long ago. Like what Kodak claims … ‘color that leaps off the page’, I really love the colors it produces. These are some randoms from that roll. I promise not to buy any of these …

Pen EE-2 : The test roll

Finishing 72 frames on a half frame camera ain’t as easy as it seems. Struggled for quite long and finally this test roll on my Olympus Pen EE-2 was done, developed but not that done yet with the scanning work. Before I start cursing about the scanning, let’s just say …

A lil bit of history …

Dug out these old scans from maybe 3 years ago when I first ventured into film photography. Well … maybe toy camera photography to be precise. I still remember buying my first Diana camera from a Yahoo! auction without even thinking if I got ripped off for the price I …

FP-14 | The outdoor test

It was a crazy thing to do, I know. Bringing my giant (and weird looking) Fujifilm FP-14, an old passport photo taking camera for a stroll in Clarke Quay attracted way too much attention. There were some who walked past, stopped and turned back to stare. Thank God the police …

Ill

On sick leave today. Some bloody headache made me thought my head’ll explode and my brain’ll scatter all over my cameras. Eeew! Took the opportunity to take a bit of rest and also to scan this roll of expired Provia from a couple of weeks back.

Black & white : The real thing

A roll of Ilford HP5 was loaded into the GA645wi for my very first encounter with black & white film. I’ve previously tried C41 black & white (eg. Ilford XP2) but I was told there’s nothing like the real thing. Real thing? Do they mean the C41 ones are fake? …
