Here are some of my favourite snaps from my Lomolito when I was in New York, cross processed on the Fujifilm Provia. I think it’s time for me to retire this nifty plastic camera and use my bulky Holga more often!

I just finished a roll of Agfa Precisa on Lomolito from my trips to Hong Kong and Beijing. This was the same type of film I used in Shanghai but the colours looked terribly different. I think the lighting was pretty bad when I was roaming around this year. Also, I sent the film to another processor and they probably used different chemicals.

So yeah, this roll of film was quite a disaster. But I decided to consolidate some shots that I took over the past X years and pass them off as a series. It is a very raw series, so please bear with it. But appreciate your feedback too!

I developed my two rolls of film from my Italy trip and Thursday was wonderful because I finally received my pictures.

Anyway, here are some photos of the Italian peeps I spied during my vacation.

My first roll from the Holga 120GCFN is out. I used the 35mm backing and loaded a roll of Agfa Precisa into the camera.

I complained to everyone around me that the Holga was a bitch. Unlike the lomolito which shifts the film with one revolution, I had to do manual estimation on the Holga. I was told that for my 35mm film, it’s about 25 clicks. I lost count of the clicks, wasted film and it didn’t help that the camera was so bulky!

But looking at some of the shots, I think it was worth it.

Hope you love this set! The rest of the pictures are on Flickr.

I have been thinking of changing the blog layout for a while but the inspiration only struck two days ago.

All it took was one recent lomo photo that I shot and voila, a new blue layout ensues.

So the theme is blue, dreamy and free. I have added a couple of old lomo photos in my “About” page to resemble a photo diary. In addition, I’ve added a “Links” page to clean up the side bar.

I’m totally in love with my new layout. I hope you will like it too.

Sharing some of the lomo photos from my latest set:

I use a lomolito – it’s disposable but I just kept reloading it with film. You can check out my lomography set on Flickr.

By now, you should know I’m not as “glitzy” as my name. I am a slacker by default.

One Saturday, I brought my lomolito out for a walk. I was in my favourite denim shorts and Birkenstocks..

The plaid shirt deserves a mention. It is my vintage piece. I bought it as a brand new shirt dress when I was a teenager. More than 10 years later, plaid is back. I altered the dress to a shirt and it still fits like a tee.

In fact, the brand “Fornari” is not even in Singapore anymore.

I will wear my own vintage more often.
