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 ...
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 ...
underground The last few months have been rather difficult and strange for me. It’s been a bit of a battle with my health, and technology has not been kind to me lately either. But then there ...
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 ...
Happy New Year 2017 First of all I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year 2017! It has become a little new year tradition for me to share with you a selection of my best pictures of ...
bubbles Last week I told you that I experimented with a little pinhole camera I built myself with still rather unpredictable results. This week my experimentation took me to another strange beast which is similarly unusual ...
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 ...
carnival 2016 It took me about a month, but I have finally finished my last development marathon to catch up with the 115 rolls of undeveloped rolls I had lying around at the beginning of autumn. I ...
shared attention After finishing my long development marathon I’m itching to get back into shooting again. For now the weather has been rather uncooperative though and it has been raining all the time. When my new lens (Voigtländer Nokton ...
imaginary tunes In the last few weeks I have developed and scanned roughly 80 rolls of film. I only have 5 more rolls to go until I will have managed to catch up. It was quite a development marathon, which ...
strange traditions It has been a busy week full of developing, scanning and – surprisingly – shooting. I know, I know, I should be in the business of reducing my rolls now, but I just couldn’t resist ...
winter journey – part 2 Last week I decided to finally tackle my big box of undeveloped rolls of film. The problem with being a prolific shooter is that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with my development, especially when I’m shooting ...
winter journey It’s been a while, don’t you think? Well, don’t worry, I think I’m finally getting back into the swing of things after having a well-deserved break, so you should see more posts soon. The last ...
all new and shiny After my most recent trip I’ve been feeling somewhat tired. The reason is probably that I filled every day of the trip to the brim with shooting, museum visits and catching up on my social ...
unfinished business You might have noticed that it has become a little quiet around here. I vowed to catch up on my humungous backlog and instead I just stopped posting altogether. The reason is quickly summed up: ...
thirsty The day before yesterday ended a month of shooting exclusively low ISO film. Unsurprisingly the low speeds were encouraging me to shoot a lot of medium format, including 4 rolls in the Mamiya, 3 rolls ...
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+ ...
