Olympus Trip x Konica Minolta 100

I was gifted an early 1970s Olympus Trip 35 camera and a block of 10 rolls of Konica Minolta 100 film expired by a decade by my local camera shop owner, a chap in his seventies. He told me to put the camera and film to good use, and that he looked forward to seeing what I come up with… I decided to dedicate all ten rolls to one single project. A one-camera-one-film sort of project.

I wanted to try and create a body of work that has a timeless quality about it, one that could be as old as the camera itself. I felt the dated aesthetic of the expired film would lend itself to such a project.

This meant no modern cars, people, contemporary architecture or technology.
