My Soviet Stereo camera – Sputnik + GoPro POV landscape photography Anyone who has seen the gear page of this blog knows that I have a pretty good selection of gear that I can use on a daily basis. I have nice 35mm film cameras, very ...
Celebrating my 1000th roll of film Just before the pandemic reached us I was looking at my rather obsessive Excel spread sheet with which I keep track of the many rolls of film I have shot over the years. I kept ...
Protest photography during a general strike At the beginning of 2020 there was a general strike here in the Basque Country in Spain that addressed the high living costs and poor social welfare in the region. When I read about it ...
A hike with my Rolleicord Last year I started making point of view videos to accompany these blog posts, since I thought it would be nice to remember the context of some of the pictures I was taking. A lot ...
Lockdown self-portraits on instax and 4×5 film During the lockdown photography was really difficult for me here, because most of my photography happens outdoors, street photography, documentary photography, that sort of thing. In Spain the lockdown was really strict though, so going ...
nostalgia When the going gets tough, it feels nice to have footage from before the Coronavirus pandemic to edit. That’s what I did the last week and I think it did me some good. By now ...
Normality We’re living through very strange times indeed. For me it isn’t really anything new to be stuck inside because of some health crisis. Normally these are my own health problems though and everyone else just ...
Shooting ISO 100 film in winter Yesterday I uploaded another video to YouTube telling the story of a particularly difficult roll that I shot over the last few weeks, if not even months. I was a bit too optimistic for my ...
Leica + GoPro POV Street Photography I just bought a new GoPro Hero 7 Black for POV street photography videos and tested it for the very first time in this video while out taking pictures with my trusty Leica M6 and ...
Best of 2017 My friends, it is done! I have finally finished editing my whole backlog of a whopping 146 rolls and I now have exactly 0 rolls left to edit! Hooray! The last few days I just ...
home sweet home The last couple of days were very productive and I managed to edit 7 rolls each on both days. That’s a lot of work, so I was busy with that all day. There isn’t that ...
thumbs up I managed to edit 4 rolls today and reached another milestone: 49 rolls left to go! Two thirds of my editing marathon are over and I’m making a lot of progress now. I’m sure I ...
sad robot I always make the best progress when I start editing right after waking up. 4 rolls edited today and 71 left to go. I also shot past the halfway point now, since I have now ...
intense moment Taken with: Leica M6, Zeiss 35mm f/2.8, Neopan 400CN, HC-110. Another 3 rolls edited, 75 left to go! Every day I make a little bit of progress. It still looks like a veritable mountain of ...
photo bomb Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Yesterday I had to take an unexpected break from editing, because I wasn’t feeling too well. Even though my health is reasonably ok these ...
on top of the world Taken with: Horizon 202, T-Max 100, HC-110. Another 2 rolls edited today and 80 rolls left to go! I’m definitely putting the “pro” in “procrastination” with my photo editing, but there is progress nevertheless. There ...
Rain dance Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Today a miracle happened: I found two rolls that were already edited although my clever OCD Excel sheet said that they still need to ...
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 ...
Christmas in the Basque Country – Part 2 Yesterday I returned from a trip to Germany where I was working on 3 different projects. It was cold and uncomfortable, there was a lot of long winded and annoying travel involved, but while I ...
Christmas in the Basque Country – Part 1 I always plan on posting more and then life somehow gets in the way. This time the problem was that I’ve been having way too much fun with the courses I’m taking on coursera and ...
