yes this ones back. don't die again okay.

so i've been on a ridiculous asian cinema tip as of late - literally have watched fuck all else the last few months.

two recs:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312932/ - You Shoot, I Shoot (2001), Ho-Cheung Pang

"Bart, a professional contract killer, is requested by his clients to film his killings. He hires aspiring film director Cheun for the filming."

dark (kind of) comedy debut from pang. interesting premise.

and

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156610/ - The Hole (1998), Tsai Ming Liang

"Seven days to the 21st century. Somewhere in Taiwan, the rain won’t stop. A mysterious disease reaches epidemic proportions… A young man uses the sizeable hole in his living room floor to spy on his downstairs neighbor, an attractive woman who stockpiles toilet paper. Meanwhile, she dreams of singing and dancing in her neighbour’s arms… A tragicomic tale of urban loneliness."

taiwanese director whos making noo money. his stuff is pretty bleak but i find it cathartic. this ones weird in that david lynch way (i hear) - haven't seen it yet tho.

edit: i just realised this is obscure hard to find shit, i can provide links tho if needed. also i don't like sufus new post editor.

as tears go by (1988)

this goes hardd

walking down alleyways in shanghai

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^ cheers! only had time to shoot two rolls so was surprised how many shots came out fine.

two more from Shanghai.

some yashica shots from Shanghai. lucked out on the metering - most shots exposed well.

oh and shit like this below is why i'm never using untested 24hr places again - on top of the dusty, scratched, fingerprint-ridden, sleeveless negs they handed me.

shot with an overexposing yashica on superia.

erratic metering is the worst, 60% of the roll ruined...

^ good stuff -Z-. i've just left Shanghai, and i wish i found more time to wander about on my own. was a good time to leave though, with that incoming tropical storm.

so i finally got to developing/scanning some rolls from a 1 day place to check for xray damage. been sitting on these rolls for like a month. shits so cheap in china.

few from HK

more vietnam stuff - market in saigon

some digital b&w randoms

from a recent trip to vietnam.

disappointed i didn't get to shoot much film while out here, was mostly digital for convenience.
