My first day with the toy keychain camera Kodak #Charmera
I haven’t felt this excited like a kid in a long time!
It’s pure fun, and honestly, I love this lo-fi, pixelated look

#lofi

A close, almost claustrophobic view of freshly chilled fish laid out on a market counter, scattered with crushed ice. The yellow pixelated filter flattens texture and depth, turning scales, eyes, and melting ice into harsh black shapes and granular noise. What should feel fresh and tactile becomes unsettling, almost abstract — more like a damaged print or a corrupted digital file than a documentary image of food.
An old car nearly buried under a heavy layer of snow, its shape barely recognizable. The yellow-and-black palette transforms the winter scene into something surreal and hostile, stripping away any sense of natural color or warmth. The vehicle feels abandoned, frozen in time — a relic slowly disappearing into silence and weather.
A shop window with mannequins dressed in T-shirts marked by oversized percentage symbols. Human forms are reduced to flat silhouettes, their individuality erased by the aggressive contrast and the dominant yellow tone. The scene feels compressed and loud, as if advertising, bodies, and symbols collapse into a single visual shout. The image reads as a blunt, ironic statement about consumption and visual overload.
A young woman sits on a bench, absorbed in reading a book. Beside her, a large potted plant dissolves into rough pixel patterns. The harsh yellow filter drains the scene of everyday comfort, isolating the figure within an empty, muted urban space. Reading becomes an act of quiet resistance here — a moment of inward focus captured by a crude, uncompromising digital eye.

This is so much punk rock nostalgia for me, the first thing that came to mind when I saw these images.
(Sex Pistols album cover Never mind the bollock for example).
Thanks for the trip to memory lane!

@ambivalena You're welcome 😇
After your reply, I looked up what the cover looks like. It really does look similar. But I want to thank you for reminding me about the Sex Pistols. I'll definitely listen to that album again.
