I ran out of B&W rolls and fixer so I wen to the fellas at Câmaras & Companhia and bought some Foma Fixer and a roll of APX100. The film is indeed contrasty, as I read online, but I didn't felt an excessive amount of grain. In fact, I enjoyed this film very much (I've bought 2 more rolls already).

I also received a package with the the Olympus XA2 that I won in an auction for a very low price. Turns out that the low price was due to the camera being broken. Maybe because the shutter seems to be bit by a furious dog. I managed to fix it (for how long? that I don't know), and in the process of realizing that the camera had a problem, I created real photographic art, a mixture of realities, a two-sided capture. That, or I double-exposed the entire roll.

Let's open with the crap, I mean, art (so good I don't even put it on my flickr. and I put everything on my flickr…)
