As promised, here are some selfies, shot with the Lomo LC-A on LomoChrome Metropolis. I took these during Ramadan 2020, late April to late May. There’s not much else to say, really, so let’s get to it!

LomoChrome Metropolis – First Roll Fun
When Lomography announced their new Metropolis film, I jumped on it. But when it arrived, I wasn’t feeling too into shooting much, so I stuck it all in the refrigerator. Then, when I finally built the piece of garbage known as the LomoMod no.1 and loaded some 120 Metropolis into it, I decided I should …
Konica SRG-3200 – one roll “review”
Konica hasn’t made film (or branded it) in a decade. The 100′ of Konica Pro 160 I shot through a couple of years ago expired in 2009, and from what I’ve gathered, they stopped producing SRG-3200 a decade before that. There was no date on the single roll of 120 that came in an Ollie’s …

Rollei RPX 100 – a review in 3 parts
Back in October 2017, I was blessed to take part in one of Dan K’s generous giveaways over on Twitter. It consisted of a gift certificate to Camera Film Photo and shipping, and I picked up a bunch of black & white film that I hadn’t tried before, including 5 rolls of Rollei RPX 100 in …
Kosmo Foto Mono at the Neighborhood Picnic
The weekend before Ramadan, the neighborhood got together for a picnic. Fun! About 5 minutes after it was supposed to start, I received a frantic call from brother Riyaz, one of the organizers. He was breathless. “Brother James… we need a photographer here… hurry.” I was happy to oblige, and, interestingly, I had just received …
