Photo Vault
This page was made because
Saint Images suggested I make a
photography shrine. Go check their photos out too! They are
much better at photography than me. I take photos mostly
with a point-and-shoot film camera (a Nikon ZOOM 600 AF i
found at one of the then last non-gentrified thrift stores
of Thessaloniki for 20 euros, major steal). I take photos
mostly with film because I like its imperfections, the grain,
the noise, the washed out colors, the low sharpness, the blur.
Usually shoot with B&W film, I like the way it puts the focus
of every photo on the lighting and the shadows. I like to
photograph grimy shit. I also take a lot of photos of my friends,
but do not feel comfortable sharing their faces online, sorry!
The winter of 2023-2024 I took
a lot of photos with my DSi camera because I couldn't afford
to buy film. I plan to include these here someday.

DSi photography
Inspired by 7nonsense's photography using Game Boy
cameras, Sony Mavicas and many more. I did not realize how much of
a challenge taking photos with a DSi camera would be. Setting aside
the obvious problem of really low resolution, the lack of zoom
and especially the lack of flash is really limiting to the types of
photos one can take with the DSi. No flash + really low resolution
also makes night photography a nightmare, it is so noisy and dark
that you can't really make out what's going unless there is a light
source in the photo itself. On the other hand, day photos can look
from too clean and crisp to just perfect, they have a distinct 2000s
quality about them that makes them nostalgic to me. Photos taken
from autumn and winter 2023.

Uncategorized / Various Photos
Self-explanatory, Thessaloniki various. Most of
these were shot with Ilford HP5, 400 ISO. Click image to see
it enlarged in a new tab (def did not steal this idea from
Saint Images ).

Burnt car out of AuTH campus. This isn't Ilford HP5, it's a B&W film that is developed
like a color film, I really like its stark contrasting colors.
Same car. Can't seem to remember what that film's name is, though... I'll find it eventually!
Lost at AuTH main library building.

DIY-produced film
One of my friends had the necessary chemicals
to produce a film negative at home. Since I found that out
I've been going to his house to develop DIY film negatives.
It saves me a bit of money, is an excuse to hang out and
makes the films filthier and grimier (this is good!). The following photos
were from said films.

Abandoned (?) house at home village. Dirt due to careless cleaning after DIY
developing is obvious on the right side.

Color Film
While I prefer B&W film, color film is also
very pretty. I've only shot two canisters, one with 24
and another with 36 photos, but I only have the first in
digital form and not looking to convert the other one anytime
soon. Enjoy the limited stuff I have here. Do not remember what
film this is.

Berlin vacation trip with friends. Half of these are shot
with a B&W film that is developed like color films and has ultra-high
contrast. I do not remember its name but it's gorgeous.

Trip to UK. It's tough to understand the

is the food.

South Korea trip film
Never in my life could I have imagined that I would be
able to travel so far from home. I am so grateful that it happened.
Naturally, my favorite part of the trip was the food, Korean cuisine
is awesome. This was summer 2023, but I postponed developing the
Ilford HP5s until February 2024, partly due to boredom and disinterest,
but mostly due to my strenuous financial situation. You can imagine
my surprise when the photos I don't remember shooting at all came
out looking awesome. Enjoy!
