Health screening 2005

I was just reviewing some old photos - and ive decided to convert some of the better ones into proper b/ws.

It works really well here due to the simplicity of the scene, plenty of contrast to work with too.

lomo. spot on!

now the real question exists: should i get one!?!

digital can be manipulated to look exactly like a lomo shot - but its not even half as fun. hmm...

More lens experiments


DSC_2468, originally uploaded by oyclubsnap2.

Shot with a reversed 50mm f1.8 prime.
increased image saturation and contrast.

Some incredibly annoying questions:

Here we go:

1) How do you prove that you're sane? Is there possibly any objective way to conclude that a person is absolutely and consistently sane?

2) How do you know that i see colours the same way as you? maybe my purple is your yellow and vice versa but you've been brought out to think its the same colour (it would be internally consistant wouldn't it?)

3)What do descriptive words mean? How can we be talking about the same thing when we have different mental pictures associated with the same words.
what does this imply about symbolic language?

submit your futile answers! mwuahahahaha *evil grin*

Revival of the psychedelic movement :)

Tired.

another contrasty shot manipulated to look lomo-fied.

Faux Lomo!

Hmm its been preoccupying my mind - should i get a lomo for my upcoming trip to the Euros?

on one hand i know i can get achingly beautiful/arty/nostalgic photos from the amazingly contrasty and vignetted lomo minotar lens.. but is it worth the cost?

available 2nd hand in singapore for about 300 sgd. i guess i could buy and sell (rent) one for the short term. other considerations include experience with the concept and cost of film/processing.

i guess the experience bit shouldn't be too hard to overcome - search lomography for their manifesto!


still... a return to film will take some effort to pry myself away from my spoilt-rotten "instant view" flexibilities of my present photog equipment.

follow the link to a REAL lomo album. cross processing looks so enticing!
