Let's just go down memory lane and look at some random photos from my collection
Pennywise
This photo is from when I first got started shooting with toy cameras. I had just gotten a digital camera two years before and film photography was more or less pronounced dead. Somehow I stumbled upon the lomography.com website and got really interested in getting back to film and experimenting with it. The film cameras I had used in my childhood and up until 2004 were those automatic point-and-shoot ones that everybody had and I wasn't really aware of how many different things you could do with analogue photography, outside the field of professional analogue photography. I ordered a dirt cheap Smena 25mm camera off ebay and started shooting.
Notice that it is actually double exposed. You can see the top of a red double-decker bus in the middle of the photo. This was one of those surprises that made me really get obsessed with analogue photography. You never really know how the photo will turn out until after you get the roll developed. I was also really happy that I managed to get the photo correctly exposed and not very blurry, as the camera has no light metre or automatic focus.
I looked up Pennywise in Brighton now and see that unfortunately the shop has shut down and has been replaced by yet another estate agent...
My latest roll: fail
This is the worst roll I have ever done, all frames useless! Oh well, these are shot in the spring/summer of 2024
