Hello, I have been rotting at home for these past few days and I think I have convinced myself enough that I am going to freaking screw up for hell alot of things in the near future. Apart from that, the money in my batman tin can is running dry. The irony is... I barely went out so I secretly suspect an imp have been stealing my stash. Oh and I'm like evolving to yet another obese pokemon but I can bet with anyone on the streets that Hasan will say, "I don't give a fuck lah, Sha." Speaking of that gundusamy, he came over yesterday when I just woke up. Shocked the hell out of me. He always does that and gives me like a mini heart attack but thanks!

Anyhoodles, I got really effing bored and I've concrete evidence so here we go. Skip if you must. I'm not forcing you anyway.

And then... I suddenly remembered about my Holga 120CFN.
Which I think the young lady who sold it to me was a cheat. Seriously, 150 and 65 (according to a reliable source).
Jesus could have just gave her a good spanking then.

Now for you people who are in Lost Episode 10000000 (means plain clueless), a Holga is an iconic medium format plastic fantastic wonder that has inspired countless lomographers (with a shoot-now-think-later mentality) to embrace the beauty of saturated colors, crazy focus, dream-like perspectives and sexy square prints.

Chsrr don't bother clicking, must read alot haha.


Just a few examples I got from flickr.com just for you to get a rough idea on how two different processings look like. The first two are of normal processing where else the following two are crossed. Okaaaaaay basically cross processing, (aka XPro) is a technique of developing one type of film in another chemical. The most common form of XPro is taking colour slide film (reversal film) and developing it in colour negative chemicals. I personally like XPro cos it usually results in wild and unpredictable results like colour shifts, high contrast and other such loveliness. It adds further level of interest to your images when it compliments your subject matter.
But with so much being said, my 1st roll of 35mm film was fucked so whoever's pictures I took the last time round... Bid sayonara to them.
I'm sure there will be a next time, right? -Cricket sound

ANYWAY, I want a freaking Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 but guess (no prize for guessing) what my mama said to me.

With much love, Sha



Ps: Kudos to those who bothered to read til here. Give a pat on your head/chest/tongue... Whatever.
AND WHOEVER WHO WANTS TO LEAVE A COMMENT OR TWO OR TEN.
