I got an email the other day from a reader with a link to some pretty amazing images. It seems William Mellott a.k.a Formica had found a way hack the infamous ‘Hello Kitty’ disposable camera to create eerily strange vignetted images with a very inventive process of reloading the disposable camera… I shot off an email, and Formica took a few minutes to explain just how he created these haunting images…

On the left is a Kodak Ektachrome image processed C-41, on the right is Kodak 200 Negative film, also processed C-41. While most of you are quite familiar with Cross Processing, I wanted to take a few posts and talk about it’s history. Why do we do it? What film yields the best result? What labs are willing to taint their chemistry in the name of high contrast and saturation?
Had a few minutes today to walk down to the river and run a roll through the LC-A, unfortunately the only 35mm we had at the office was tungsten.. First thoughts on the little Russian cam are that’s its well put together and feels very smooth while shooting. The focus is easy to adjust, and the auto-exposure is a nice break from worrying about ambient light. So is this still a toy cam if it has Russian optics, auto-exposure and you can actually set the ISO? More images on my Flickr here… [Added some B/W today]
