style

I was determined to be a cool street photographer. I had designs on my camera collection down to a simple Leica M6 or M7 35mm rangefinder and a few tasty lenses, shooting exclusively in black and white and generally taking cool shots a-la Cartier Bresson and his ilk. Well, the nearest I’ve got is my Trip 35 (which, despite being very cool and unflappable…

more Melbourne pics

Last photos from Melbourne I promise These are general shots of Melbourne people plus the cool street art of Fitzroy, just outside the CBD. Ideally, I’d like to go back there on a sunnier day with more time and just the Holga.

more Melbourne

Well, we had a good time, you should expect photos :p this episode – details Melbourne has plenty of nice things to take photos of – I wasn’t really there for that reason as it was supposed to be our honeymoon – but I did manage to get some snapshots of some the little details which give it some of its charm.

Lomo #fail

Regular readers may recall that Jay and I bought a couple of Lomo cameras last year – I got a Diana Mini and Jay got a Supersampler. Well, as I mentioned, the Diana is shocking – the film hard to load, it gets jammed, the focussing ring is too small and the film strips on rewind. I have a film stuck in there at…

more of Melbourne

It’s just as well we went there last weekend – this weekend they’ve had torrential rain, golf-ball sized hailstones, wild wind and floods in the city! *eep* The news has been full of pictures of flooded streets and hail-drifts. Bloody hellfire!! Anyways, just to rub it in for people who are visiting at the moment (and Ellie who lives there), here are some tasty…

girl on film

An homage to the missus. Taken with the Holga and (mostly awful) Diana Mini. looking good, wifey 🙂

Melbourne trip (part 2)

We had takeaway and a bottle of wine on Saturday night (well we were both tired and wanted to rest our weary backs), but ended up having a late night anyway. We were slugs on Sunday morning as it was Jay’s birthday and only made it out in time for an early lunch at The Organic Food and Wine Company Delicious coffees and vegan…

Melbourne trip (part 1)

We’re in Melbourne for a long weekend city break for our honeymoon It’s not that far from Perth, just under 4 hours by plane, which still makes it an occasional visit, rather than a regular jaunt. We arrived Friday night and went for a wander. We’re staying in Chinatown right in the middle of Melbourne, which is pretty interesting, colourful and lively. We had…

more film pics

Some more scans of the latest films that came back Perth from Kings Park – Holga + Kodak Portra 400 Perth – Murray St Mall – Holga + Kodak Portra 400 Sunset, Warnbro, WA – Holga wide angle pinhole + Portra 160 – this is really way underexposed, but I love the potential this camera has for sunsets. Busselton, Western Australia – Holga wide…

films are back

Been sat on the latest lot of films for ages and I finally posted them off last week to get developed I’ve been dreading it a bit – as I had a couple of Holga back opening incidents and the Diana Mini has frustrated me endlessly. Jay had a couple of films in there too, including from the equally brilliant and irritating Supersampler. I…
