Ae-1 program / lomography redscale negative 100

I shot this one on the road from melbourne and in sydney when hanging with ken, lex and james the williams. I had this film developed in a little country town and they let me come behind the counter to work the c41 machine so that the prints didnt come out bright red!! simply scanned.

Canon AE-1 program / Ilford Delta 400 B&W

This film was shot in melbourne and camping along the great ocean road. all photos were shot on the one film, using cokin filters. no foto shop. no digital filters. just scanned. so stoked!

easy life

Far north coast lifestyle: check surf, cruise, surf, swim, eat, cruise, skate, bbq, hang out, storms, cruise, sleep.... pretty darn good for the soul!!!!! the last photo is an annual monument to the suburban lifestyle, there must be at least 10 thousand dollars of lights strung up around this brick veneer home just around the corner from my parents place. It is very seriously un-serious!

sydney

last night went for a skate down to bondi bowls at about midnight. it was really hot! have been wandering around the city and through surry hills and paddington being immersed in the terraced hills and ramshackle streets. loving the advantageous viewpoints of the cityscape that pop up unexpectedly! so different to most other cities. have also been making the most of the ocean baths at night.. great city sydney. melbourne is still better.




the vert wall turn is way scarier in the dark than it looks! my mate ken took these photos

Tomorrow begins the road trip north to Byron Bay.... its a long way! here are some pics from Frankie's and my last expedition north where we followed our noses through back roads, 'short cuts', dead ends and small towns..... one trip and this is what we saw.... i can't begin to fathom the multitudes of landscapes this world has conjured. 'Gerry' is a great film if you like wide open space that makes you feel incredibly small. an expansive panorama of helplessness.

camping down south

That windy Great Ocean Road, Leave the town, and ur phone. straw hats, burning sun & coconut scented sun screen. icy blue ocean all the way to antartica, nothing but waves and wind. feel it? what it was like asking someone for directions. those pale dusty roads and toilet pits. rough sand that swallows your feet. no shoes.

the virgin film

Here is the first film from my new (old) camera.. It's a fuji sensia transparency cross processed into a negative. It developed a nice rose hue which is nice to know if u ever want that sort of a feel.... really differnet to a kodak cross process though which usually have a nice tealy tinge... I am really stoked, cause when u first shoot on a new camera the shutter sounds so different on each make and model - i was convinced it was too slow!! but as it turns out it is in pristine condition..

This weekend, just scanned - no edits:
Viva Prahran Skate comp. some big moves!
