of red carpets and alien temples The first development tank I ever bought was a Jobo 1520. I wanted quality that would last, so I invested. The only problem was that it actually broke after only a few rolls! Somehow the lid ...
dedicated photographer Sometimes when I experiment things go wrong. At times they even go horribly wrong. In this case it wasn’t so bad although there was a minor mistake involved, I forgot to add potassium bromide to ...
head squeeze The pictures I’m showing you today were developed with the help of my robotic agitator. I built it a bit more than a month ago and it helped me develop 36 rolls already. I normally don’t ...
defiance I made up for my downtime and shot two rolls both yesterday and today. The weather is warm, the city is teeming with tourists and so there is plenty of subject matter these days. Yesterday ...
cars It could well be called an act of bravery to go out to shoot a roll in 35°C weather! Obviously we didn’t stay out long, but long enough to finish another roll of T-Max 400. ...
typical products The problem with taking breaks in the usual workflow of shooting, developing and editing is that things accumulate. I normally don’t mind the development part of my work with film too much. With a bit ...
wet Today I was rather glad that I had my Canon Sureshot WP-1, since the waves were quite turbulent. I still haven’t taken the plunge and tried whether this toy is truly waterproof, but it definitely ...
creativity I’ve been meaning to get out with my Rolleicord for a while, but then I’ve been playing with my Canon Sureshot WP-1 and I got somewhat distracted. Today I took the Rollei for a walk ...
goodbye With summer in full swing I don’t really have any excuses and try to shoot every day. I’m also developing colour film and it’s much faster to heat up the chemicals, in part because the water ...
bed time It is summer! I can’t quite believe it myself yet, but these days we have been having great weather and I have been making a point of either going for a walk along the beach ...
quiet, I’m on the phone I do like to experiment at times and usually those experiments kinda work, even if the first attempt might go a bit wrong. For example the first roll where I tried cold Caffenol had more ...
impressions from the exhibition opening Shooting film means that sometimes one has to be patient. After a week of waiting I was curious to see how the pictures from the vernissage last week turned out. Normally I don’t develop a single roll ...
ice cream Although this trip was really good and successful, I’m definitely looking forward to getting home now. The problem with travelling is that one spends most of the time waiting in crowded places surrounded by people ...
confrontation I’ve been reminded again that I’m not a particularly big fan of developing C41 film. It’s just that tiny bit more annoying and this is what always makes me procrastinate before mixing another batch of ...
careful with that one After almost a month I still haven’t managed to start developing the colour rolls I brought back from Argentina. However, I finally got my Fuji colour chemicals now and will probably mix them up tomorrow. ...
twisted Today I wanted to develop a batch of Double-X in Delta Std, but then realised that I didn’t have enough vitamin C. In the end Caffenol-CH had to do. In any case robo, my robotic ...
Nick Cave in Barcelona It was almost a little funny how badly my newest incarnation of Robo the robotic agitator failed today. I had changed something in the design just prior to testing and rushed the coding a bit. ...
beach ballet We’re back home now after our trip to Barcelona and I used the rest of the weekend to relax. It was a really nice trip, but also very tiring, because we did a ton of ...
animals I must say that I’m having a really great time on our trip. Yesterday we actually went to the Nick Cave concert that was the main reason for coming here and it was really great! ...
into the light You might have noticed that I travel a lot. Would you be surprised if I tell you that I don’t particularly enjoy the actual travel at all? I like going to places and seeing new ...
