"I confess my phone has been reduced to nothing but a Hipstamatic and Oggl camera. I'm often inspired to use new combos and Oggl is my playground. Browsing through my archives, I rediscovered the fun that is the Salvador 84 lens. It's such an eye-catcher - like a toy kaleidoscope. The result is always a surprise but it does not work with every motive. So the project was born and I tried to find new Salvador-motives!
To create new surreal and graphic worlds, I found it is best to have big bright parts, lines or subjects that are not centered within the picture. Then Salvador, with its golden tones, does the rest. I love to combine it with Robusta and Sussex films. I like that Sussex is almost frameless and has this dirty surface. Big frames would be too distracting since Salvador has such a strong effect by itself. I use Robusta when I feel the photo needs a thin frame or vintage character."
