wet Today I was rather glad that I had my Canon Sureshot WP-1, since the waves were quite turbulent. I still haven’t taken the plunge and tried whether this toy is truly waterproof, but it definitely ...
the godfather It’s pretty much official now: T-Max 400 and I don’t particularly like each other. It has been refusing to cooperate with some of the worst negatives I’ve had in ages. I especially struggled with lots ...
creativity I’ve been meaning to get out with my Rolleicord for a while, but then I’ve been playing with my Canon Sureshot WP-1 and I got somewhat distracted. Today I took the Rollei for a walk ...
shade Today I shot my 277th roll of 35mm film. This number might sound a little random, but in fact it means that I have now shot 10,000 frames of 35mm. As HCB said: “Your first ...
goodbye With summer in full swing I don’t really have any excuses and try to shoot every day. I’m also developing colour film and it’s much faster to heat up the chemicals, in part because the water ...
exercise Last night there was a particularly pagan festival around here where kids jump over fires down at the beach. Last year I shot some pictures with my Zorki 4K and it was difficult, because the ...
bed time It is summer! I can’t quite believe it myself yet, but these days we have been having great weather and I have been making a point of either going for a walk along the beach ...
tango of course The other day I must have mentioned how many rolls I still had to develop. Well, I forgot to figure in the 120, so there are 10 rolls more than I thought! This means I ...
quiet, I’m on the phone I do like to experiment at times and usually those experiments kinda work, even if the first attempt might go a bit wrong. For example the first roll where I tried cold Caffenol had more ...
fruit These last few days I’ve been extremely tired and needed a break. This year I have been travelling a lot, Düsseldorf in February, Argentina in April, Barcelona in May and just a week afterwards this ...
impressions from the exhibition opening Shooting film means that sometimes one has to be patient. After a week of waiting I was curious to see how the pictures from the vernissage last week turned out. Normally I don’t develop a single roll ...
ice cream Although this trip was really good and successful, I’m definitely looking forward to getting home now. The problem with travelling is that one spends most of the time waiting in crowded places surrounded by people ...
donkeys Last night I was walking home late and started taking mental Cinestill pictures. After 4 shots that I thought would have worked I realised that I might be able to shoot a whole roll even ...
girl power Yesterday a family heirloom has found its way into my hands: the Lubitel 2 that belonged to my grandma! My mum even told me that my grandma used to develop and print the pictures herself! ...
obsession with round objects I had a great time at the exhibition opening last night and was really quite pleased how the room looked when it was finished. And very appropriately the band that was playing was actually a ...
friends When preparing an exhibition usually things go wrong. For me this time it took quite a bit of effort to locate my prints after the package disappeared somewhere. I managed to find them in the ...
tree huggers I was very disappointed yesterday to find out that my favourite drugstore colour film was discontinued. I obviously was trying to stock up on the stuff, but only found some relatively cheap Kodak Gold 3pack ...
tree climbers The most adventurous part of today was to hunt down packages containing prints, foamboard for mounting those prints and of course film! What a difficult undertaking, but after a lot of waiting and running around ...
