freaky figure

i saw this doll (or whatever it is) in amsterdam, and had to take some shots of it. for some reason I think it looks really creepy. both are cross processed velvia 100 film, so it is strange how different the colors turned out. not really sure which one i prefer, i think they both turned out kinda interesting.

supersize me, guitar edition

i have no idea why, but there's something about oversized stuff that makes people go mental. just think of the "funny" sunglasses that are made gigantically, or the massive lighters they sell on the beaches in thailand and spain and every other vacation place. and of course, the same "humor" is what drives this dude, who I spotted close to times square in new york. the songs he played were boring, and I don't think his technical skills very anything to write home about, but hey, his guitar is fucking massive!!

picture is taken with lomo diana on fuji provia 100, cross-processed, and scanned in greyscale (scanner didn't understand the cross processed film)

beautiful strangers, nyc

new york is a city with heaps of great-looking people. i tried to do some lomo portraits of interesting people i met while i was there, but unfortunately all the portraits came out underexposed. i still think they are interesting shots, and the people look great.

awakenings festival 2010, amsterdam

it's been a little while since i uploaded anything, because a lot has been happening the past week. one of those things was the awakenings festival in the outskirts of amsterdam. awakenings is a massive techno and electronic music festival arranged every year in the end of june. this year the festival celebrated its 10 year anniversary with names like gui boratto, james holden, dave clarke, loco dice, richie hawtin, raresh, luciano, adam beyer and many may more. it was an amazing day with perfect weather, 40 000 beautiful people, and a bangin atmosphere.

here are some of the shots I took with my lomo diana during the day. they are all shot on fuji provia 100 film, and cross-processed. enjoy.

central park, nyc

here are some shots from central park in new york, all done with lubitel 166b. they were all shot on fuji velvia 100 slide film, and cross processed. because of the cross-processing, my scanner didn't "understand" the colors in two of them, so that's why they're in monochrome. the exposure on all three is f/16 aperture and 1/125 shutter.

multiple exposures, NYC

i picked up another two rolls from development yesterday, with pictures from new york. this time they were shot with lomo diana on ILFORD HP5 b&w film (iso 400), and the result was quite good! one of my favorites is this double (tripple??) exposure which I can't remember taking at all. i really have no idea how I did it, but really love the results. which is one of the best things about lomo shots ;)

manhattan in flipped, double exposures

when arriving back to manhattan on the short ride with the manhattan ferry, I took this picture with the lomo diana. i first covered the bottom half of the lens with my credit card, and took one exposure. then i covered the top part, turned the camera upside-down, and did another exposure. I am really happy with how it turned out.

luckily I gave it two tries, because when developing the film, I realized I had messed up one of them. under you gan see how the "unsuccessful" one turned out (the picture itself is not that bad i think. it works well as a panorama-shot).


i actually came up with the idea for this technique when i was shooting in vigeland sculpture park. however, when i tried to do it there, i messed it up in the way that i was covering the bottom half of the lens in both exposures. here it's how it turned out:
