The dreaded day has come: The last pictures from Argentina! It makes me a little sad, because having these pictures in my Quick Collection in Lightroom was somewhat reassuring. But well, don’t worry, there are still many pictures to be posted and it will be a long time before I run out, even though I’m not shooting much these days. After all, these Argentina pictures are already a year old and I have shot a lot more stuff since then.

Yes, it’s true, right now I’m not really in the mood. Shooting on the same 5 street corners simply becomes boring, especially when neither weather nor health are cooperating. And once I’m out of my daily photography routine it’s always a bit tough to get back in again. That said, it’s not the first time I have taken a break and it won’t be the last time either, so it’s simply a matter of time before I’ll be out there again shooting one roll after another. What’s reassuring to me is that I’m actually not an exception in this. Many other photographers go through similar phases and some photographers only shoot in summer or when they travel. I simply haven’t yet adapted to the ups and downs that seem to be connected to shooting in a place that is so seasonal. This is a tourist town after all! There are many dead periods here and even when something is happening, it actually repeats every year in the same fashion. There are only so many ways one can photograph a city that is so small and I simply get frustrated at times.

I won’t bore you with the typical existential crises connected to artistic work though. Let’s just get on with the fun part: The pictures! One last time we have pictures from Argentina and this time there are some special ones in the mix, not just street stuff. Get yourself a funky coloured fizzy drink and enjoy!

Pictures taken with: Leica M6, Zeiss ZM C-Biogon 35mm f/2.8 and Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1. Rolleicord V, Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f/3.5.

Starting with: M6 / Biogon / Kodak Gold 200.

Exhibition of film posters in a cultural centre. We were there for something else and only took a quick look. Nothing special, but I liked that mad grin at the end of the corridor.

Who says ISO 200 and a f/2.8 lens can’t be used for night shots?

They were actually watching a football documentary, so I’m glad the screen blew out!

Now let’s get to the fun bit: We went there to see the show Fuerza Bruta. Very impressive, very visceral, very cool. And one would think not a place for ISO 200 and an f/2.8 lens.
