I finally picked up the elusive cross-processed Fisheye film today. I have two grievances about this - 1. They said they'd call when it was done, because I dropped it in when they were waiting on a new part for the machine so couldn't give me a date. I actually went in to see if the machine was fixed and my photos have been there for a week.
2. It cost $29.75 for one set of prints and a disc. Even with cross-processing, I'm sure that is horrendously expensive. Well, it was only $18.90 at the other camera place for prints and a disc, and you're using the same chemicals in cross-processing.
I don't know, its quite apparent from these that I'm horrendously bad at holding my hand still while taking pic-chaz. Regardless, this is my first attempt at using my fisheye!

Web love: F-Stop Magazine
The other day, trying to find my DVD of Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog (more on this later!), Levi went "Em? Why do you have three cameras in your bag?".
And I thought, INDEED. Why do I? I have the Lomo fisheye camera I bought in London (and, sadly, only just finished my first roll of film about two months later, which I was told will cost $50 to get developed! Stupid slide film), the disposable camera we bought in Windsor when we realised that someone (probably me) forgot the digital*, and my digital camera.
*This one made it safely out the back of the camera shop with minimal fuss. I shall pick it up tomorrow :D
So considering I don't really take a lot of photos, that seemed a bit illogical. But I actually do really like photography, so I found this photography magazine again last night and luckily they have a superb archive so I could find my FAVOURITEST EVER series of photos!
Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida were the featured artists in the Jul/Aug 2006 issue and I love the detail in the pictures!
More things of theirs can be found here, and F-Stop magazine is available here
