Protests against the Zubieta garbage incinerator I often complain that the little Basque beach resort where we live is photographically boring. You can see everything there is to see in a few days, it’s invariably a little too glossy, a little ...
breaking the lines Lately I’ve been in the mood for some more focused learning and I’ve been following some online courses, some photography related, some not, and it has been an enjoyable experience. Every few years I make ...
Joy Sometimes life gets in the way of updating my blog and I certainly had a couple of busy and exciting months. My health has been improving a lot thanks to the new treatment and this ...
levitation for beginners Not so long ago I switched back to my Zeiss lens and zone focussing for the summer. I didn’t realise how much I missed it to just be walking without looking through the viewfinder and ...
goal This last week was filled with developing some odds and ends left over after my film development marathon. Some Double-X, Orwo UN54 and some Retro 400s in 120, all developed at a leisurely pace. The last tank ...
nice ride The last two weeks I have only shot low ISO film. This included some RPX 100 in the Leica, as well as Rollei Retro 80s – with and without an orange filter -, Ilford Pan F+ ...
surf culture Today we returned from a short trip to Bilbao. The weather was surprisingly good, so we used our time to take pictures, explore the city a bit more and go to a couple of museums. ...
from above These days I’m testing my new lens thoroughly and making a good effort to get used to it. It’s a bit strange to have to point this big lens directly at people and actually focus, ...
beach bar at night You might have noticed that in most of my posts these days I talk of technical details more than anything else. The reason is that most of my other summer adventures apart from the development ...
playing catch This month was a rather productive one. I not only managed to develop, scan and edit a significant portion of my rolls from Argentina but also managed to keep up with the development of the ...
hair After waiting for such a long time to see the pictures from the many rolls I shot in Argentina I’m rather pleasantly surprised by the results. I developed a few rolls already before, but I’m ...
good boy I almost didn’t take any of the shots I’m posting today, because I wasn’t planning on taking a camera to the Nick Cave concert. I only changed my mind last minute and if you’ve seen the concert pictures you ...
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 ...
Nick Cave in Barcelona It was almost a little funny how badly my newest incarnation of Robo the robotic agitator failed today. I had changed something in the design just prior to testing and rushed the coding a bit. ...
animals I must say that I’m having a really great time on our trip. Yesterday we actually went to the Nick Cave concert that was the main reason for coming here and it was really great! ...
transit This last month was such a wonderful adventure! I’ve finally been to another continent, I have seen the moon from the southern hemisphere and danced tango in Buenos Aires of all places! Could it get ...
water After a walk in Palermo and getting a wonderful book of Annemarie Heinrich’s work yesterday, we decided to go to the enchanting little bar in Barracas again to dance a few tangos and listen to ...
smiling costs very little In the list of things that aren’t what they seem to be we added one more item today: After the “tree” that is a bush, the “ocean” that is a river and the “rabbit” that ...
hold on Bus journeys over here can be a bit of a drag. Yesterday we made sure to get on the bus before the rush hour and still spent an hour on it. It’s a very big ...
getting caught Today we went to Recoleta to visit the cemetery. However, we didn’t only see magnificent sculptures and mausoleums, but also quite a number of cats living on the cemetery and a 200 year old rubber ...
