Here are a few photos from the end of October 2015.

A restaurant worker came out while I was making this photo, lit up a fag, and gruffly asked “What are you taking a photo of?” I pointed at the vents. While he was sucking on his cigarette and looking at the vents to see what I could possibly be pointing at, I bid him good day and left.

A few months ago I saw a tourist pointing his camera at these ladies and making photos. “Rather rude,” I thought, and then remembered I had made more or less the same photos in 2015.

You might notice that there is a black bar at the top of each film scan in this post. This is a result of my local lab not much caring about the quality of film scans. Stick the machine on auto, zip zip zip. Lined up correctly? Close enough, what? It happened a number of times and it’s the reason I started sending film away to Seoul for development and scans. The Seoul lab is faster as well.
I like the composition of the bus station photo, but the front of the bus is overexposed and there are some very black areas. I wonder if sending the film to Seoul could get me better results. I like these three film photos enough to pay a bit of money for good scans.
Ah – can comment on this one – my fave is the vents – the colours are rather nice.Not being a fan of fish, I can't comment on the others ';0)

I can't stand fish, either. But I liked how the ladies are framed by them.I thought Hipstamatic was a kind of gimmick when I first started using it. Something for the Instagram crowd, but I came to appreciate the interesting colours and effects. And no two photos are the same. Every time you press the shutter button the program renders the scene a bit differently.

I love the fish shots Marcus especially the first one where you can see the lady’s face. And I love fish, too – we’re mostly pescatarian in our house, truth be told. I’d have a field day in that market!

Thanks for having a look. I can't stand fish. Came to the wrong country . . . . 🙂
