Stop asking "Why?" and instead ask yourself "Why not?"
It’s the Christmas season in Edinburgh and with it comes many gorgeous displays of light. The photos for this week are selected from some of the photos I had taken in the past few weeks as I had been unable to have them developed until now. I had recently obtained a large spool of Kodak…

The theme for this week is “Reflections”. Reflections can be found in many scenes, from lights reflecting off windows to the reflections in puddles on the ground. I thoroughly enjoy the images of reflections that can be captured after or during the rain. The reflections in puddles that are left over from the rain are…
While I try to incorporate some kind of “story” in my images, sometimes it is nice to photograph something that is simple and visually-pleasing. The sun is the primary source of light that is found in many of the photos in this selection. When used as the main source of light for backlighting, the sun…
This post is a continuation of the series of photos from my trip to Manchester [Part 1 and Part 2]. Instead of photographs of people as in the previous two posts, this post focuses on the patterns and shapes that I noticed through my brief exploration of the streets of Manchester. In addition to the…
Doors Open Days is an annual Scottish event where many venues offer free entry to the public. While I have been in Edinburgh for two years, I did not have the chance to visit many of the older buildings and heritage sites. I decided that this event would be the perfect opportunity to visit these…
This post is a continuation from the previous post about my black and white photos from my short trip to Manchester [Part 1 here]. The previous part showcased the images that I had taken with a telephoto lens with a focal length of 85mm. For lenses with longer focal lengths, I can take similar photos…
I had recently travelled to Manchester as a break and also to do some street photography. I had never been to Manchester before and I thought it would be a good experience to broaden my horizons and improve my photography. For the first few days of the trip, I explored the downtown and surrounding areas…
Hey there, Mr. Green Sky Lomochrome Purple is a colour negative film stock produced by Lomography, a Viennese-based company focusing on analogue cameras and photography. This film promises weird and wacky colour shifts while still maintaining fine grains and sharp contrasts. After seeing the results from many other analogue photographers, I knew I had to…
Although I chose to slightly overexpose the shots with an intent to adjust the images in post, the expired film was still quite versatile and handled a few stops of under or overexposure with ease. Having previously shot fresh FP4+, the expired film yielded a comparatively softer level of contrast while maintaining a similar level…
I had heard about the bleach bypass process before and was interested in trying it for myself with street photography. The result was high contrast and colour shifts, perfect for the unpredictability of the street. Under standard C-41 (Colour negative) development, the film undergoes a C-41 developer step, a bleach and fixer step (or sometimes…
