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 ...
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 ...
