A cartoon bunny on a Danhai LRT tram, one of the many art installations as part of the LRT’s collaboration with the popular local illustrator Jimmy Liao. While I like the concept, it takes up valuable space that could help reduce congestion during rush hour.

Using some camera trickery to make a light fixture move. Given that this was the first time I did this, I'm a bit surprised I got the result I wanted.

I think my results have been uniformly atrocious and washed out because I haven't been using slide film, or at least low ISO film. Having seen your results, I think I'll splurge on some slide film and try again.
I've been doing this, but not with slide film. First time I did this was with Kodak 500T, since I figured I could use the second exposure to clear off the remjet. After that I tried with Harman Phoenix a few times, since I figured it has a clear base.
At the ferry wharf in Guandu, which no longer has any scheduled ferry services, but still has open-air food stalls on the waterfront that become very busy on weekend afternoons.

So, reversal but using b&w and C41 devs instead of the standard E6 chems?

The family dog, now in good girl heaven. The camera had a light leak when I shot this roll (later fixed), but this seems only to add to the atmosphere of this picture now that I'm looking back.

When you do, you might want to take a look at The Caffenol Cookbook:

The one I picked up is an early first-gen model with a 45mm lens, which is quite a bit larger and heavier than the GIII. There was a GIII available at the secondhand market I went to, but unfortunately the lens was not as pristine as this one, otherwise I would have gone for the GIII.
Speaking of which, I'm assuming you're using an older camera and not the revival model? I've been waiting to get my hands on one ever since I heard about it.
Those are some really steady hands for a 1/15 sec. exposure

A few snapshots around the ferry pier at Dadaocheng and the market along Dihua St. in Taipei, taken earlier this evening and developed immediately at home—definitely a benefit of developing and scanning your own film!

Since I couldn't sleep, I thought I'd test my limits shooting handheld on a newly acquired leaf shutter rangefinder. Looks like I can get away with 1/8 sec. which is pretty remarkable for a camera with no image stabilization!

Yeah, that's what I like about the FE as well, since the meter still works before frame 1, I don't understand why they added the limitation on the FE2. Although, it's possible to modify the FE2 so that the meter always works.

Also, I shot this one unmetered: I loaded the camera in a changing bag so I could squeeze two more frames off of what would have been the leader, but the FE2's meter only kicks in when the frame counter reaches 1, so for the first two frames of the roll I had to guesstimate my settings.
Crumbling away.
