Multiple exposure means multiple fun.

Here's some of my favourite multi exposures of mine. This roll went through 3 different cameras, at three different places, at three different times.

The first was through my Diana - even though it's a 35mm and the Diana is of course a 120 camera, I rigged up a film spool using half a paddle pop stick and some handy black electrical tape. Only issue was, after all my planning and measuring and calculations on how far to wind each time, I was a total idiot and managed to put the film in back to front. So there was (what I thought) the first go done.

The second time I decided to use the film, I put it into my Canon Autoboy II and took it to go see Tegan and Sara in Brisbane for the weekend. I managed to catch some hanging out shots, some gig shots, and stumbled upon a fireworks display, so snapped away at that too. When the fireworks were over and I'd reached the end of the film, I rewound it back, only to open the back and find the film in exactly the same position to where I put it in.

I was mad.

Like, insanely mad. Like, I didn't talk for 2.5 of the 4 hours drive home, and that was two days later.

Third time lucky, I hoped. This time I straightened out the film, made sure everything was right, and carefully loaded it into my Asahi Pentax ME, my (at the time) newly aquired slr. I used up the film, not really paying much attention to what I was doing. There was some photos of friends around town, some photos of home and family, and half a roll of photos from a Dreamworld trip a few weekends later.

This time it HAD to have worked.

I put them in to get developed, and this is what I found:


How fricking awesome !!


You can guess how happy and amazed I was. You can see the concert, you can see fireworks, you can see tigers jumping and you can see the final photos with the slr. And in all the out of date cross processed beauty :)
