I find blank signs quite appealing. Their random appearance on walls and billboards has an almost zen quality that invites quiet contemplation on the beauty of minimalism. (or maybe I’m just full of it!)

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 (as it taints the soup a bit apparently) but they did this roll for me. I would have had to send the film across town for E-6 processing otherwise and I really wanted to scan in something that night, so I was grateful (even though I don’t usually x-pro, I’m pretty happy with this roll)

Camera: Diana 151 Film: Fuji Provia 400 (slide film, cross processed)

A suburban wall in a suburban car park. What appealed to me about this wall is the bright white loading doors against the brick, the slowly sagging chain-link fence and the blue, blue sky above the whole scene. Using asa 100 film in a camera like the original Diana is pushing it a bit but if you open the aperture right up and have enough light around, it can really add some interest to a shot I have found.

This art installation was in place in a small laneway (Lush lane) off Flinders Lane in Melbourne’s CBD in the latter half of 2006. The bank of phones all rang with different ring tones (although the inner urban ambient noise was too loud the day I took this photo for me to hear them) *note: Originally posted on The Plastic Lens (version 1) March 24 2007

Camera: Fujipet    Film: Kodak 400 CN B&W (C-41 development)
