the sea the sea It’s been a slow month photographically and I kind of miss the bustle of summer that would always provide me with some kind of photographic opportunity, but I guess it’s nice to slow down again ...
doors Even if I were trying to shoot a lot, it would be rather difficult these days. The streets seem empty most of the time and I also don’t really feel inspired. I guess we all ...
sunny days I’m glad to report that yesterday and today I finished a roll of film each. The roll count this month is still appallingly low, but at least I’m not entirely unproductive photographically. The only good ...
the best pizza After a few weeks of studying Russian I re-watched a Russian movie that I watched with English subtitles at the beginning of this endeavour. Back then I only understood a few words, but by now ...
close to the water With any long term endeavour progress sometimes seems difficult to measure. It’s definitely hard for me to see my own development clearly until I take a step back and look over the work of a ...
deep shadows One of my biggest problems is that I have many interests and I’m not very good at multitasking. I try never to do more than two projects at the same time, because only proper focus ...
football After many months of shooting almost daily I find myself in a position where I can’t seem to shoot much. I guess I need to just be patient and wait for the circumstances to improve ...
hold on After a deadline yesterday I’m now embracing a new found freedom that allows me to work more according to my own priorities rather than towards the usual necessities of the academic process. I’ve therefore used ...
vamos Lately I’ve finished two big chunks of work that have kept me busy for months. One of them was to develop and edit all the film I had shot in Argentina in April and the ...
apple I was 3 shots short of finishing a roll today, but it was a good day nevertheless, especially considering that it’s actually only the third roll this month. I also finished the last bit of ...
sniff As I mentioned the other day, I’m trying to improve my Russian at the moment. The one thing I love about learning languages is obscure tidbits of interesting information that sort of tell you something ...
oranges I’ve been struggling to finish the roll I had in my Leica, but today I finally managed on a walk through the neighbourhood. It was surprisingly warm today, rather summery in fact, so the weather ...
volatile situation Today I managed to take at least a few pictures despite the rather appalling weather. I guess it’s autumn now for real and it will be more problematic now to get good pictures with all ...
night skating The last few days I was very busy with work and my health wasn’t too cooperative either, so I didn’t spend much time on photography. I was very productive photographically over the summer, so I ...
checking for ear worms After already dealing with a few more rolls of Fomapan 400 last night I only have 2 more of them left to develop, before I start with the Argenti ARF+ 400. First I will try ...
what can you see Today I was feeling sort of under the weather, but I still decided to go out to shoot some pictures. I just didn’t want the nice weather to go to waste with the impending autumn ...
black and white sunset It’s the week of the film festival over here, so the last couple of days we saw two rather good movies. Yesterday we even braved the torrential rains and came out for the last showing ...
feed me Today was the official start of autumn and that means that it’s the time of the year when I need to start pushing my film. It gets a little colder and darker, and even a ...
strange handbag By now I’m running out of T-Max 400 shots to show you and as you might suspect, I’m rather glad about that. The curve of this film in Caffenol just doesn’t do it for me, ...
on the outside I rarely take a day off, but occasionally it happens that I neither shoot, nor develop, nor scan, nor edit. These are rare occasions, but they do happen, even if usually not by choice. This ...
