up there Out there it’s ISO 1600 weather, grey, cold and rainy, so I didn’t even bother taking a camera with me when we went out to run errands. And just as I suspected I only saw ...
waiting, watching Today I wanted to develop some film and found a monster sitting on the inner tube of my developing tank. It had wings and it looked rather unfriendly, so I decided to wait with the ...
pow pow The last few weeks I have focussed on scanning and editing my film shots and haven’t even touched my digital camera since I came back from my last trip. I am completely hooked on film ...
on sale On some days I can really understand why Vivian Maier never showed her work to anyone. Although I generally get very good feedback from my blog and know that a lot of people like it, ...
silent observer Every week I try to at least shoot 3 rolls of film, two rolls of 35mm and one roll of 120. Sometimes I shoot way more, but some weeks are difficult. My health has a ...
golden hour My office is slowly taken over by negatives that still need to be scanned. By now it’s several different piles from different places and in different formats. I’m looking forward to some rolls, dreading others ...
autumn Yesterday I was so curious about my mishap with semi-stand developing in Caffenol that I scanned the roll right away. Although I forgot to add some potassium bromide to my Caffenol-CL I can’t say I ...

delicious What do you get when you combine a contrasty film shot in bright sunlight with a contrasty developer? Right! You get a headache when you’re trying to scan the stuff! Nevertheless I can’t help liking all ...
black and white (eye-)candy Tri-X and I seem to have a little love-hate relationship going on. At first I didn’t like it at all, mainly because I only ever tried it in Rodinal and shot it with a yellow ...
feeding the birds Creative work seems to be a constant up and down. On some days everything seems to fall into place effortlessly and on others I just don’t seem to be able to get anything right. Lately ...

(cos)playing Yesterday I felt like the universe was trying to prevent me from shooting. Just as I was about to go for a walk with my Rollei it started pouring down. Today I remedied the situation ...
surreal I was surprised when I saw the results from this roll. The experience of shooting it was really a rather rough one. I didn’t know the city too well and just wanted to shoot a ...
garden girls Patience is a virtue or so they say. Well, I can be patient – after all I shoot film -, but it’s still a little annoying that I will have to wait a whole month ...
