Some frames from a recent roll of film. These have been scanned from negatives with my newly acquired Conon CS9000F scanner which I am so far immensely pleased with. It should eventually mean a saving on my film processing costs and allow me more freedom with some other projects I have in the works.

These shots were taken on the same day as the fuji instaxs I’ve previously posted. The building is long abandoned White Bay powerstation in Rozelle. It was a scorchingly sunny day causing plentiful overexposure but I don’t mind it in these shots. The prints have a blue tone which I greatly dislike and in future I will desaturate my digital copies of these prints.
There is a lot of difference from my last roll shot on a lomo super sampler, it is a new replacement camera, 100 speed fuji film instead of 400 speed ilford and the processing was done at a different photolab. The camera is a massive improvement on the original the film and lab I am not so sure about.

After shooting two rolls of film my lomo super sampler died, it uses a rip cord to advance the film and it would no longer retract into the camera body. Lomo’s lovely customer service however have sent me a replacement, pictured above. Below are photos from the last roll I shot on my first lomo. Taken with no viewfinder, no controls and a camera that could barely advance the film, to say I am pleased with the results would only scratch the surface. Repetition has always appealed to me, the minute variations across a printed edition or the series of stills that make a film so these are perfectly attuned to my sensibilities. I do hope this second camera lasts longer and produces equally good shots.

I am making a purposeful photographic regression switching my lovely nikon dslr for a lomo camera. It is called a super sampler and takes four shots from four separate lenses over two seconds. It is a cheap piece of rubberised black plastic and makes horrifying creaking noises as you wind the film. There is no real view finder and no settings to adjust. The only control I have is what film I use and where I point it. I desire a little unpredictability and this roll of film was very unpredictable as it came free with the camera.
