not allowed inside Finally I managed to take my Rollei out today and promptly a guy started talking to us on the beach, because he noticed that we were shooting with analog cameras. We started talking shop a ...
tea Despite the weather forecast it rained today and I didn’t get the opportunity to go out with my Rollei. I miss it though, so I decided to scan some older Rollei pictures. Tomorrow I might ...
that big bear Last year in January I was facing a huge backlog of pictures to post-process after not editing anything for about 2 or 3 months. I thought that I needed to catch up to be able ...
canal television Flying with film can be a bit difficult, especially if you’re flying with high ISO film and the police officers don’t know how to use the machine for hand-checking the film. Since I was travelling ...
trains After 11 hours of cars, planes and bus rides I was really really tired today. Do you think though that this kept me from scanning my first roll of Leica pictures to see how they ...
Happy New Year 2015 First of all, I wish you all a Happy New Year! At the beginning of each year I always like to take stock of the previous year. Since I have started blogging in 2011 it has ...
pointers This morning it was snowing and snowing and snowing. So much that we even considered building a snowman! However, it was just too cold and we didn’t have any good gloves for that sort of ...
pray With -8°C out there we actually decided to have a warm day in today. There isn’t much to report apart from the fact that I have shot 21 rolls of film with my Leica so ...
big eyes Back when I started my first photography blog I had a digital SLR that I used to take everywhere. I was still undecided what I would shoot, but I was drawn to little details, urban ...

waiting is playing Today we went to Leipzig for an afternoon and I managed to shoot 5 rolls of film! It was particularly easy today, because we were walking around a packed Christmas market with lots of good ...
consumerism With the usual miserable weather these days I’m surprised that I managed to fill up 3 more rolls today, despite spending most of the day indoors in the museum and the cinema. We went to ...

getting it out of the system Today was a very long day. It started way too early in the morning and was a seemingly endless succession of buses, planes, trains and in the end a cab ride. If I have calculated ...
like a good friend The last few days I’ve been scanning a lot, and still, I have about 14 developed rolls lying around here waiting to be scanned and another 10 rolls to be developed. I have given up ...
film water battery After weeks and weeks of rain and grey ISO 800-1600 weather I’m very much looking forward to travelling a bit. The place where I live isn’t exactly great for street photography even when the weather ...
unusual perspectives Yesterday was the last tango lesson of the year for us and for once the weather wasn’t too miserable. I loaded my XA with some rather hastily rolled XP2 and off we went. We were actually ...

cat on a leash After a few days of colour film I now come back to a roll of black and white, because I really wanted to post some pictures from my Rollei. At the moment my Rollei is ...
