What can I say? I was in a self-portraity mood. Working from the cafe this afternoon because I didn’t make it to work because I hoped I might get an emergency dental appointment today. No such luck, I’m booked in for 1:30 tomorrow.

I’ve been meaning to write something with the same title, but before I got around to it, the opportunity came up to speak at Ignite Sydney 4 about it. I’ll probably do a more full writeup, perhaps even a series if I ever find the brainspace to write.

Here however, for your viewing pleasure, is my talk from Ignite Sydney. It was a lot of fun to present, despite it being part of a hectic stretch of work, culminating in an insane day. You know what, if they’ll let me, I wouldn’t mind doing another one.

For those of you who are wondering, this is what an Olympus Trip 35 looks like.

On my return to 35mm

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:43:08 +1100

I write this post with my new Olympus Trip 35 showing indicating between 34 and 36 shots taken (which I generally assume to be 35, but I’ve never been that good with counting) on my first roll of 35mm film in a long time. I’ve been shooting film on and off for 9 months, but all of that was 120 film.

35mm film photography is where I started, with my Dad’s OM-10 and a couple of rolls of FUJIFILM Superia. Since my Trip arrived on Friday night (I loaded a roll of film in it there and then, though I didn’t shoot anything because it was rather late and I was tired), I’ve gone a little crazy — shooting anything and everything, getting used to the simplicity of the trip compared to my 5D, or even my Hasselblad or my old OM-2n.

I’ll post some results when I get my film developed and scanned.
