Memories of Penang, Pearl of the Orient

LOMO LC-A+ (Splitzer) w/ Agfa CT Precisa 100 (souped, double exposed)

Hello all, this post has been way overdue. 3 years ago in fact. Life and general malaise on my part gave me enough excuses to not update this site…however I must say that during our times of AWOL, we have never stopped shooting! So rest assured we have tons of material accumulated over these years to share, haha.

So let’s get on with it. The photos above were shot w/ Agfa CT Precisa 100 which was previously souped. My go-to recipe has always been hot water mixed with some laundry detergent. The film was dunked for about 30 mins as I find that even if left overnight, the so-called emulsion tampering doesn’t change much. In fact, dunking it for too long will make the film canister rust faster (if that made any sense) and the film might snag thus causing problems to your camera winding mechanism. As always, be sure to dry your film thoroughly before popping it into your camera.

The goal of my project at the time was to photograph and mash up some of the famous street art & murals in Penang’s Heritage Zone of George Town. If you ever get the chance to come down to the Pearl of the Orient, be sure to go on a walking tour and discover the wonders of street art and savor the culinary delights Penang has to offer.
