Hi guys. This time another way to make the lo-fi photography. Well, the 110/pocket microfilm is obviously the best way. But it's not that easy to buy the 110 films, and even much more hard is to find a photo-lab that will scan it. I was wondering what the solution might be. And You know what is it? The 1/4 of the standard 135 film's frame. Namely: the Lomography ActionSampler camera. 4 lenses giving You 4 slightly different lo-fi photos on one 135 film's frame. (!!!)
Not only You get a very small format (1/4 of the 135 looks like a photo from 110/pocket film) but also: You have 36 shots instead 24. AND moreover - You can chose one the best shot of the 4 variations from every photo You take.
We've got the lo-fi screen then, easy to scan for every photo-lab. And we can use the standard 135 film You can still but everywhere. The only thing You have to do is to "crop out" the best variation from the ActionSampler's quadruple shot. Nice and easy. AND STILL LO-FI!!!! :-D
So anyway. It looks like this.

Hi there.
Some new lo-fi photos from me (again: 1/4 of the standard 135 film's frame, so as small as 110/pocket film's frame, or so).
Made in Sandomierz city, in September of 2018, with ActionSampler small plastic camera and the Lomography 800 film.
It's not that easy to buy the 110 films, and even more hard is to find a photo-lab that will scan it. The solution might be the 1/4 of the standard 135 film's frame made with the Lomography ActionSampler camera. 4 lenses give You 4 slightly different lo-fi photos on one 135 film's frame.
Not only You get a very small format (like I said, 1/4 of the 135 looks like a photo from 110/pocket film) but also: You have 36 shots (or a bit more) instead of 24. AND moreover - You can chose one the best shot of the 4 variations from every photo You take.
We obtain the lo-fi screen then, easy to scan for every photo-lab. And we can use the standard 135 film, one can still buy everywhere. The only thing You have to do is to "crop out" the best variation from the ActionSampler's quadruple shot. Nice and easy. AND STILL LO-FI!!!! :-D

ꒌ СВЕТИ САВА -- домаћин Славе je породица Предрага и Александре Витковић у Ротердаму.
► ▓░█ SAINT SAVA, early on in XIII century THE FOUNDER of Serbian Orthodox Church, in its diocese parishes often venerated so much that many churches abroad bear his name, like the ones in London or Paris. Not in Rotterdam, however, where the church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. But even here, a chosen family assumes responsibility for the annual hosting of this patron saint of all the Serbs. In this case, in 2025, it was Vitković family, who passed on this title for the feast in 2026 to a new family.
֎⃣ Developed from raw and edited in Affinity Photo 2.4, slightly sharpened in IrfanView 4.62. This is one of my first photographs with an old second hand lens I could finally, after 8 long years of waiting, lay my hands on. From this copy of Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 - old, stiff and beaten, very much used, I wasn't expecting much. But it surprised me with its intrepid character and consistent delivery. A top buy! It is sharp and its colours are advanced, equaling my favourite Sigma 30 mm f1.4 prime, with an added bonus of the IOS working in conjunction with G9's body and a useful zoom range.

On a rather cold frosty morning I ventured out before dawn
It was -4 slightly warmer than the previous morning
In the shallows all the puddles were frozen over
The only thing moving was the birds
There was no colour until the pink and blue layer started
This strikes me as a real australian bush scene

And the onslaught of toy camera panoramas continues... This was shot in a back lane somewhere in the Arts District in Las Vegas. I shot one exposure, took a few steps to the side, and shot again, repeating for 4 slightly overlapping exposures in total. I absolutely LOVE the way the colours and light leaks came out in this one. ViewLarge On White
I decided to pull the frame mask out of my Holga. What a brilliant idea. Increased vignetting, light leaks galore, and overlaps that blend subtly.

This vet was handing out candy to the kids along the parade route.
I had about 30-seconds to get this shot before The Moment literally passed me by. When I saw this scene developing, I planned my composition and background, and I pre-set my exposure with AEL ahead of time. I use Av-mode set at the DLA for clarity, a fast base-Tv for stability, and I let ISO float on auto, because I find that ISO just doesn't matter anymore thanks to modern development tools.
I stepped off the curb to avoid foreground distractions, and this drew the subject’s attention. I fired 4 slightly different frames in about 5 or 6 seconds, just to have some options, and this is the final frame of the set. I then nodded a thank-you to the subject, and stepped back into the crowd.
I think that sometimes it is important to get The Shot quickly and reflexively, without any fumbling around, as a show of “professionalism”, and a sign of respect for the subject. I didn’t want this one going to stage-2.

The inside was just as cool as the outside. The Hallgrímskirkja stands as an icon in downtown Reykjavik.
Stitched together using 4 slightly wide frames, giving the fisheye effect.
One of the items I found in Grimsby, Ontario's Forks Road Pottery was an antique mirror in a room holding a number of the antiques for sale. The glass had a severely irregular surface and all the items reflect were consequently very distorted. This is a photo I went back to after initially ignoring it some six months ago, so it goes to show that you should not be too quick in dismissing an image right after taking it. I never delete any image for just that reason. Storage space in computers as well as memory cards are so cheap that it is worth keeping it all (with some method of organizing things, of course), if only as a form of digital negative. - JW

I found 4 slightly marbled Lego bricks in Denmark.
Middle row are new dark grey and old light gray to compare colours. Also two sand blue 1x2 bricks on the right.
All the bricks have a "3" and then either "15", "11" or "09" on the underside.
Is this a known test mold? Or are these just random marbled bricks?
Very hard to make the marble show so I added a picture where the contrast is very high. They look great in real life, but you have get up really close. The blue brick has a rainbow at the end (not pictured). :D
- served with a thyme-stuffed baked apple, red cabbage and mashed potatoes.
Although this dish is called "Normandie" (because of the apple I presume) I would say that goose, red cabbage and mashed potatoes is a typical German dish, preferably eaten in late autumn and winter. (Additional information for GermanFoodCulture and Friday Food Fiesta - Regional Cuisine)
Recipe (serves 4):
- 4 haunches of goose (ca. 400 g each)
- salt
- pepper
- 2 small onions (eg. shallots)
- 400 ml sweet cider or apple juice
- 4 slightly sour apples (ca. 150 g each)
- 8 stems thyme
- 6 to 8 juniper berries
- 2 tsp sugar
Preparation:
Season haunches with salt and pepper. Heat a roasting tin and sear haunches on the side of the skin for about 8 - 10 mins. at lower heat to allow the fat to dissolve from the meat.
Turn haunches around and sear for another 8 mins.
Peel onions and cut into quarters lengthwise. Add to the haunches and fry for another minute. Decant the fat. Pour 200 ml cidre/apple juice and put into the preheated oven and roast at 200 °C (no fan!) for about 50 mins.
Meanwhile remove the apple cores and put thyme stems into the apples. Crush juniper berries. After 50 mins. of cooking time put apples into the roasting tin, sprinkle with sugar, add another 200 ml of cider/apple juice as well as the juniper berries and roast for another 20 - 25 mins.
(According to your oven it could be necessary to remove heat at this point.)

Hi guys. This time another way to make the lo-fi photography. Well, the 110/pocket microfilm is obviously the best way. But it's not that easy to buy the 110 films, and even much more hard is to find a photo-lab that will scan it. I was wondering what the solution might be. And You know what is it? The 1/4 of the standard 135 film's frame. Namely: the Lomography ActionSampler camera. 4 lenses giving You 4 slightly different lo-fi photos on one 135 film's frame. (!!!)
Not only You get a very small format (1/4 of the 135 looks like a photo from 110/pocket film) but also: You have 36 shots instead 24. AND moreover - You can chose one the best shot of the 4 variations from every photo You take.
We've got the lo-fi screen then, easy to scan for every photo-lab. And we can use the standard 135 film You can still but everywhere. The only thing You have to do is to "crop out" the best variation from the ActionSampler's quadruple shot. Nice and easy. AND STILL LO-FI!!!! :-D
So anyway. It looks like this.
PS: Location - Tuchola Pinewoods. Time - April 2017.
Anyhow paste kena fine [=anyhow, i'm gonna get fined if i paste]
Almost two months after the arrest of SKLO, known in Singapore as The Sticker Lady, some of her stickers remain, like this one, that i shot four days ago, near Dhoby Ghaut station.
For those who are not very familiar with Singapore's news, the Sticker Lady Case is somehow quite interesting and could reflect the contradictions in Singapore's process towards an open society. It's also a controversial topic, which, as a foreigner, i have to consider with a distance, since my westerner, quite liberal and art-educated culture is apparently different than the majority of the Lion-City, despite its increasing cosmopolitism.
Ok, here's the story about The Sticker Lady. Difficult to tell it in brief.
I don't know exactly when SKLO started to paste her stickers on the traffic lights buttons, but i started to notice them one year ago, mostly near my own neighborhood, in the relatively arty area of Bras Basah-City Hall. The average passerby, perhaps too busy, was not noticing them but some people were smiling or ranting when they paid attention to the messages pasted.
These messages had in common a use of the efficient local singlish and a certain sense of humor.
The first and most common one was pasted on the buttons for setting the green light for pedestrians, where lots of very impatient people tend to press many times, possibly hoping it would quicken the process : "press once can already", which could be translated by "to press once is enough". This was followed by a more clearly english one : "no need to press so many times".
Then there have been a lot of other messages on these stickers, like "press until shiok ["press until you feel good"], "press to time travel" (arguably the most imaginative one), "press to teleport", "press for money", then the one that will later trigger another series leading to SKLO's arrest : "press to cross my grandfather road" (a pun with the singlish expression "your grandfuder road, is it?", said when people behave as if the street belongs to them, which, well, technically is the case, right?).
Finally, the more recent and last stickers were about the risk of being caught, in a country where repression is still sometimes surprisingly tough, with this prophetic "anyhow press kena fine".
Indeed, graffitis (including obviously pasting stickers) are a serious offence in Singapore, where the concept of street art is still pretty much inexistant. That's when SKLO started a blog called "my grandfather road" and did start to do stencils with this slogan that the police caught her, tracking her ip address.
SKLO is not a gangster, nor a kid or an art student, she is a 28 years old arts executive, who was working as a curator for the upcoming national art gallery.
The Sticker Lady was arrested, sued by the Land & Transport Authority and charged with vandalism. But she did not simply get a fine. Actually, she faced almost 2 years in prison for having pasted some stickers on poles.
The charges against SKLO triggered a huge buzz in the medias and the internet forums. Basically, there were 3 sides : the pro-Sticker Lady vs the anti-Sticker Lady, and the 3rd side, with mostly embarrassed foreigners and diplomats who could not dare to take side, since it was a sensitive issue - some european and western embassies have been quite hesitant to risk a diplomatic crisis by commenting about the Singapore government rather harsh decision.
Basically, again, the pro-Sticker Lady were pointing out the fact that the girl was not a criminal, that she has wits and would have been considered as an artist and her works exhibited in galleries and museums if she was living in Europe. A lot of the pro-Sticker Lady launched internet campaigns to freed her and some spoofs for showing their support. On the other hand, the anti-Sticker Lady were saying that she was irresponsible and was wasting the taxpayers money (although it's doubtful that removing a few stickers could cost that much to the taxpayers money). Except at rare exceptions, though, almost everybody involved in these discussions agreed that sending her to jail was a bit harsh.
There have been smart points, but also amazingly stupid ones, like those pro-Sticker Lady awkwardly demeaning her work by trying to say she was just a kid having fun (er... she's a 28 years old art professional and she's got a message), or those anti-Sticker Lady saying that she was a shame for the country and a criminal (er... is humor a crime?). And there have been the conspiracy maniacs, pretending this case was set up by the government for testing the public reaction, and other doubtful assertions. And there also have been some copycats...
But what was at stake was rather the status of Singapore, officially yearning to become a more open and modern society, and suddenly getting entangled with what pretty much looks like an excess in authority.
Then, after so much fuss, the story got quieter and now, a few weeks after the case, the medias seem to have forgotten the Sticker Lady. Is she free now, or still on the way to be jailed?
Anyhow, some of her stickers remain, and the purpose of this photo is to inform about it.

Anyhow paste kena fine [=bref, j'vais choper une amende si je colle ça]
Presque deux mois après l'arrestation de SKLO, connue à Singapour sous le sobriquet de The Sticker Lady, quelques-uns de ses autocollants subsistent, comme celui-ci, que j'ai pris en photo il y a quatre jours, près de la station Dhoby Ghaut.
Pour ceux qui ne sont pas vraiment familiers avec les nouvelles de Singapour (et ils sont nombreux), l'affaire de la Sticker Lady est quelque part intéressante et édifiante et peut refléter les contradictions du processus vers une société plus ouverte dans lequel s'est engagé Singapour. C'est aussi un sujet controversé qu'en tant qu'étranger je me dois de considérer avec distance, puisque ma culture occidentale, progressiste et artistique est visiblement différente de celle de la majorité régnant sur la Cité-État, malgré son cosmopolitisme croissant.
Ok, voilà l'histoire de The Sticker Lady. Difficile de la raconter brièvement.
Je ne sais pas quand exactement SKLO a commencé à coller ses stickers sur les boutons des feux de circulation mais je les ai remarqués pour la première fois il y a environ un an, surtout autour de mon quartier, dans le coin relativement arty de Bras Basah-City Hall. Dans leur majorité les passants, trop occupés, semblaient les ignorer, mais quelques gens souriaient ou grommelaient quand ils prêtaient attention aux messages collés. Ces messages avaient en commun un usage de l'efficace singlish local et un certain sens de l'humour, voire un sens de l'humour certain - que les dadaistes et situationnistes apprécieraient.
Le premier et le plus fréquent d'entre-eux était collé sur les boutons d'appel des feux pour les piétons, où beaucoup de gens impatients ont tendance à appuyer plein de fois, espérant peut-être que cela accélérerait le processus : "press once can already", qui peut être traduit par "appuyer une fois ça suffit". Ce message fut suivi par un autre, en anglais plus clair : "no need to press so many times ["pas besoin d'appuyer tant de fois"].
Ensuite, il y a eu beaucoup d'autres messages sur ces autocollants, comme "press until shiok" [="appuie jusqu'à kiffer"], "press to time travel" [="appuyer pour voyager dans le temps"] (peut-être le plus imaginatif de tous), "press to teleport" [="appuyer pour se téléporter"], "press for money" [="appuyer pour de l'argent"], puis celui qui allait déclencher plus tard une autre série qui ménerait à l'arrestation de SKLO : "press to cross my grandfather road" ("appuyer pour travrser la route de mon grand-père", un jeu de mot sur l'expression singlish "your grandfuder road, is it?", "c'est la route de ton grand-père ou quoi?", qu'on dit quand les gens se comportent comme si la route leur appartenait, ce qui, techniquemqnt, est le cas, de toute façon, non?).
Finalement, les autocollants les plus récents (et les derniers) étaient sur le risque de se faire attraper, dans un pays où la répression est encore parfois étonnamment dure, avec ce prophétique "anyhow press kena fine".
Effectivement, les graffitis (y compris les autocollants, manifestement) sont un délit sérieux à Singapour, où le concept de street art est encore quasi inexistant. C'est lorsque SKLO a initié un blog intitulé "my grandfather road" et a commencé à faire des pochoirs avec ce slogan que la police lui a mis les menottes, après avoir remonté son adresse IP.
SKLO n'est pas une gangster, ni une gamine ou une étudiante en arts, c'est une spécialiste de l'art de 28 ans, qui travaillait comme conservatrice pour la galerie nationale d'art qui va bientôt ouvrir ses portes.
La Sticker Lady a donc été arrêtée, gardée à vue, sous le coup d'une plainte de la Land & Transport Authority, et inculpée de vandalisme. Mais elle n'a pas simplement reçu une amende. En fait, elle risque près de 2 ans de prison pour avoir collé des stickers sur des poteaux.
Les poursuites contre SKLO ont déclenché un énorme bourdonnement dans les médias et sur les forums internets. Schématiquement, il y avait trois camps : les pro-Sticker Lady contre les anti-Sticker Lady et au milieu le 3ème camp, celui des étrangers et diplomates qui n'osaient pas prendre parti, puisque il s'agit d'un sujet délicat - des ambassades européennes et occidentales ont été très heesitantes à prendre le risque d'une crise diplomatique en commentant une décision (plutôt sévère, pour rester diplomate) du gouvernement singapourien.
Schématiquement, encore, les pro-Sticker Lady pointaient le fait que cette femme n'était pas une criminelle, qu'elle avait de l'esprit et aurait été considérée comme une artiste, avec ses oeuvres exposées dans des galeries et musées, si cela s'était passé en Europe. Bon nombre de pro-Sticker Lady ont lancé des campagnes sur internet pour sa libération et des parodies pour lui montrer leur soutien. De l'autre côté, les anti-Sticker Lady disaient que c'était une irresponsable et qu'elle dilapidait l'argent des contribuables (bien que ce soit douteux que décoller quelques stickers puisse coûter tant que ça aux contribuables). Cependant, à de rares exceptions près, presque tout le monde engagé dans ces discussions s'accordait que l'envoyer en prison était un peu sévère.
Il y a eu des points de vues intelligents, mais aussi d'autres incroyablement stupides, comme certains pro-Sticker Lady qui s'entêtaient maladroitement à avilir son action en disant que c'était juste une gamine qui voulait s'amuser (euh... c'est une professionnelle de l'art de 28 ans et elle a un message), ou ceux qui, au contraire, disaient qu'elle était la honte du pays et une criminelle (euh... l'humour est-il un crime?). Il y a eu les obsédés du complot, qui prétendaient que tout avait été monté de toutes pièces par le gouvernement juste pour tester les réactions de l'opinion publique, et autres assertions douteuses. Et il y a eu aussi les petits copieurs et les émules...
Mais ce qui était en jeu, c'était plutôt le statut de Singapour, aspirant officiellement à devenir une société moderne et ouverte, et soudain s'empêtrant dans ce qui ressemble à s'y méprendre à un excès d'autoritarisme.
Finalement, après tant de remue-ménage, l'histoire est devenue plus discrète et maintenant, à peine quelques semaines après la révélation de l'affaire, les médias semblent avoir oublié la Sticker Lady. Est-elle libre désormais ou doit-elle toujours faire face à un séjour en prison?
Bref, quelques stickers demeurent, et le principe de cette photo est d'informer.

2 weekends ago we went away to Eagle View Escape at Rydal in the Blue Mountains for our 10th wedding anniversary. This was the view from our private courtyard while sitting back in the sun enjoying a BBQ lunch.
This is my first attempt at stitching a panorama from multiple shots with my SLR. For this photo I set my camera to 28mm, f/11, 1/400s on the tripod and took 4 slightly overlapping photos from left to right. I then used the Photomerge option in Photoshop, removing distortion and vignetting. After this I cropped it to remove the blank space around the edges. In Lightroom I increased the contrast and brought up the shadows. Next time I need to zoom out a little as I had to crop out some of the bottom that I wanted to keep.

If you have leftover roast chicken breast/meat, this is something delicious that you can consider.
Just mince the boneless chicken breast, dice 1 or 2 tomatoes with seeds removed, peel and slice an onion and chop 2 stalks of green onions/spring onions and add them to 3 or 4 slightly beaten eggs. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and vetsin and cook this mixture using a non-stick wok~

Hi there.
Some new lo-fi photos from me (again: 1/4 of the standard 135 film's frame, so as small as 110/pocket film's frame, or so).
Made in Sandomierz city, in September of 2018, with ActionSampler small plastic camera and the Lomography 800 film.
It's not that easy to buy the 110 films, and even more hard is to find a photo-lab that will scan it. The solution might be the 1/4 of the standard 135 film's frame made with the Lomography ActionSampler camera. 4 lenses give You 4 slightly different lo-fi photos on one 135 film's frame.
Not only You get a very small format (like I said, 1/4 of the 135 looks like a photo from 110/pocket film) but also: You have 36 shots (or a bit more) instead of 24. AND moreover - You can chose one the best shot of the 4 variations from every photo You take.
We obtain the lo-fi screen then, easy to scan for every photo-lab. And we can use the standard 135 film, one can still buy everywhere. The only thing You have to do is to "crop out" the best variation from the ActionSampler's quadruple shot. Nice and easy. AND STILL LO-FI!!!! :-D

Here's an in-progress shot of the Billy DIY dollhouse project. This photo shows how one increases the height of a wooden dollhouse in order to bring it in-scale with larger figures, in this case going from 1:20/1:24 scale to 1:18.
Clockwise from the top:
1) Main building: The 3/4" basswood strips can be seen on the outside. On the inside, the booster strips had already been covered-up with a wide baseboard, which is a textured paper strip. The outside will eventually be covered up with siding.
2) Doors: Since the building height is being increased, the doors also need to be taller. There's a 1/2" basswood strip on the bottom of the door. Once the door is painted, the booster will not be visible.
3) "L" shaped counter: The instructions called for cutting the countertop from foamboard and the cabinet from cardboard. I completely replaced all of it with a hand-cut basswood countertop and very thin MDF from a picture frame backing board.
4) Small counter: Also has a 1/2" basswood strip to boost the height. The outside is covered with a strip of bamboo mat.
5) The original stools actually fit Rement Pose skeletons pretty well. I decided to designate them as "kid's stools". Then I made 4 slightly larger ones from scratch (same style) for the "grownups". I found some excellent "textured cloth" origami paper at Daiso, so I used that to replace the original paper chair covering.
6) The yatai (street food stall) cabinet also needed a height boost to make it proportional to the new height of the building and furniture. I added a 1/2" basswood strip, and replaced the intended cardboard counter with thin MDF. All of the changes will be invisible once the cabinet is painted.
The Billy dollhouse kit includes 3 small bottles of paint. After trying them out, I'll say that the paint is definitely unlike the craft and hobby paints that we have in the US. The Billy paints are water based, but they are semi-transparent, semi-gloss, really quick-drying and have a lot more "stick" to them. They adhere to the surfaces very well- almost too well, because it was difficult to wash the dried paint off of my hands! I had to use a pot scrubbing sponge..
