Taken a while back near Smith Street Collingwood, the plastic fantastic had a few issues with light leaks (or perhaps it was me when I unloaded the film, it could have been a ‘fat roll’ but I can’t remember now) whatever the cause I quite like the effect. Camera: Diana 151 Film: Fuji Provia 400 [...]

Under a Freeway on WTCD
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Even though I haven’t blogged about it this year due to laziness, family commitments, study, work, life, the universe & everything (and the dog ate my homework) – we have had a world toy camera day (well it was a whole weekend) this year and I did manage to take a few Holga and Polaroid [...]
Jesus in the Junk
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Well, those of Christian beliefs do say he is everywhere, which kind of freaks me out if I think about it too deeply, but this particular shining example of the saviour I found in the Dandenong Trash & Treasure sidewalk market one day. This is yet another shot taken with the cool Waist level Finder [...]

Drifting a long way away from plastic lenses with this shot. It is taken with my latest camera, a Polaroid 110A that has been converted to take 4″ x 5″ sheet film by a talented man named Dean Jones, who luckily for me I met a few years ago at a Sunwrae concert and who [...]

A Girl, a Dog & an Old Car
Monday, November 2, 2009
Recently, thanks to the example and encouragement of some friends, I have ventured into developing my own negatives at home. So far I have done a few rolls of B & W, but I also have the ingredients for some C-41 (colour negative) developing, when I feel brave enough. This particular image was shot with [...]

The Niche
Friday, August 21, 2009
Another photo from a roll that was an unintentional x-pro (cross-process – where E-6 slide film is processed as ‘ordinary’ negative C-41 film), I forgot I had slide film in the camera, dropped it off and the lab had already loaded it in the machine before we realised it was E-6. Normally they don’t X-Pro [...]
