Life in purple

I like purple. Many of my friends like purple. So I naturally bought the LomoChrome Purple XR film (in 35mm) when it was launched. The premise behind LomoChrome Purple is that it is modelled after the Kodak Aerochrome -- a discontinued infrared film developed for government surveillance. LomoChrome Purple changes natural tones of your photos into something more surreal, for instance, transforming green to purple (yay!), blue to green, and pink to yellow. Mostly, the photographs take on hues of purple and cyan.

Here's what the world might look like if all the purple-loving people of the world could will it to happen.

This is what the photo looks like in natural tones.

There were unfortunately lots of misses in my first experimental roll. So here's just one more just to show the crazy results you get with this film.
