POPping Nine

Last Saturday … on the 17 October … was the World Toy Camera Day. Despite being really busy that day, I managed to squeeze out two rolls on my toy cams and got one of them developed today. The other roll is supposed to be for a doubles collaboration with a friend.

It did took me a while to decide which camera to use that day because I wanted something compact so that I can squeeze it in my pocket while going around doing my chores. The POP9 cam ended up being picked because I’ve yet to even use it once since I received it as a prize not long ago. The other good thing about this cam is that it has a built-in flash, so I don’t have to always run outside in the sun to take photos.

I loaded a roll of long expired Konica Chrome Centuria 200 slides and got it cross-processed. If I remember correctly, I’ve used this film once before but I’ve not been able to get any decent results from this film cross-processed. They usually turn out very grainy and the colors seem to suck. Is it me or is this film not really suitable for cross-processing? Anyone has any experience with it?

You must be wondering why this image below is appearing in this POP9 set. Hahaha. I was scanning the roll of film when I saw this end of a strip (of film) that looks really cool. Look at it … does it look like there is a praying mantis in there? Huh? Don’t tell me that I am losing my mind.
