Purple Haze

Once again, the lure of the Lomo hits…

It’s funny, I have such a love/hate relationship with this idea. My practise totally encompasses mad experimentation, but the obsessive commercialisation of it from the Lomography movement is somehow distatseful.

Nonetheless, when I happened across some Lomochrome Purple in Fred Aldous I jumped at it. This is a C41 film, inspired by (abuse of) the old Kodak Aerochrome – a colour IR film that produced whacky colours especially when cross-processed. In the Lomochrome this is basically just produced so the dyes produce different colours to the light they are sensitive to – but it is fun all the same.

These were taken on a TL-5B with the Vivitar 28mm at various places.
