Now that my blog is working again properly, I’m going to make an effort to post at least once a week until I have caught up a little. Right now I’m more than a year behind with posting pictures and it’s sort of disconcerting. We’ll see how long I can keep up my good intentions!

There was finally some acceptable weather this last week and I got to go out with my Rollei a bit. Of course the Rollei started a conversation, this time with a punk and his two dogs, and I ended up sitting in the sun, taking pictures of them. Definitely fun! I’m sure you’ll get to see the pictures in about 2 years at my current rate! Oh dear!

I haven’t really felt like developing any film lately. I definitely need to get back to it! I found the perfect trick to motivate me though: I shot some Ilford Pan F+ 50 which has bad image latency, so I have to develop it soon or the images will fade! Every job has annoying bits and film development / editing definitely annoys me, especially with colour. I can take pride in the fact that I can do it rather well now, but that doesn’t make it any more interesting.

I was just about getting back into the swing of things with shooting when of course it started to rain again. I don’t know what it is this year, but it feels like the longest spring ever. When is it finally time for summer?

And before I start getting cranky I better get on with some pictures, this time the penultimate post with pictures from Argentina. One more post and it’s back to Europe! I will miss having my Argentina pictures in the queue. In any case, grab a cup of tea, put your feet up 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.

They locked him in / out.

La Boca is full of street dogs.

And cats.

Kitty under the stairs.

This was in one of the tourist traps.

And another just for the photographer in the background.

And of course the street dogs hang out next to the restaurants in the hopes of getting some leftovers.

Funny way of drinking.

Rollei / Portra 400.

M6 / Biogon / Gold 200.

Taken from the bus I believe.

For some reason I really like this one.

Very martial.

Looking down into a museum.

Obligatory mirror self-portrait.

Rollei / Portra 400.

Later that night, some long exposures with the Rollei from the balcony.

Sunrise the next morning! I love the view and the mist.

My husband was also awake already.

M6 / Biogon / Gold 200.

OK, I guess I wait here.

Right outside the butchers.

Foosball.

Busy bird.

At the butchers. You simply can’t imagine the meat over there! Best meat ever!

M6 / Nokton 1.1 / Gold 200.

Up there …

… were these guys.

And then they got all excited.

Buying tickets at the Lunapark.

Very small man, very big truck.

Oh surprise, we stopped at a bookstall!

Flag in the wind.

Plastic bag in the wind.

Visiting the Casa Rosada.

Welcome to my old hunting grounds, the subway!

M6 / Biogon / Gold 200.

And on the bus. Buenos Aires is the city of endless trips on public transport.

Still got my subway chops.

Occasionally one sees people with books too, not just smart phones.

It was dark and for some weird reason I took my 2.8 lens.

I was so annoyed at myself about this picture, 2.8 lens and ISO 200 film at night. Yeah, right!

Dancing tango in front of a book shop.

Not too bad for daylight balanced ISO 200 film. Not too bad at all.

Last one!
