smiling costs very little In the list of things that aren’t what they seem to be we added one more item today: After the “tree” that is a bush, the “ocean” that is a river and the “rabbit” that ...
hold on Bus journeys over here can be a bit of a drag. Yesterday we made sure to get on the bus before the rush hour and still spent an hour on it. It’s a very big ...
getting caught Today we went to Recoleta to visit the cemetery. However, we didn’t only see magnificent sculptures and mausoleums, but also quite a number of cats living on the cemetery and a 200 year old rubber ...
no more 1h development Although we planned to take it easy yesterday we decided to go to Parque Centenario to take some pictures and have a look at the flea market in the end. And boy was it a ...
dangerous heights Most dancers who come to Buenos Aires hope to get to dance with the most amazing dancers in one of the famous milongas. I’m not like that. I couldn’t care less about famous dancers or ...
little girl tall building You know, yesterday I saw one of the biggest and most impressive trees of my whole life and the irony is: It’s not even a tree?! Huh? In fact that massive Ombú we were sitting ...
through the gate What a day we had yesterday! It involved a ridiculously futuristic planetarium, a bandoneon and a couple of typical porteño experiences: 1. An eternal 1h 50min ride on a way too crowded bus for a ...
more than enough The other day while we were in a cab I saw a street corner here in Palermo that I just had to photograph. I spent quite some time on street view to figure out which ...
shine Today frustration hit me when the light was going earlier than I expected. I hardly managed to finish the roll in my Leica, because I’m trying to stick to ISO 400 due to the risk ...
self-portrait Finally it cooled down a bit and we went to San Telmo like we originally planned for yesterday. After having a bit of a look around and checking out some markets (where I didn’t buy ...
fog I have now all the film together for our trip to Argentina: 38 rolls of Fuji drugstore film, 2 rolls of Kodak Farbwelt (I wanted an even 40) and 10 rolls of Portra 400 for ...
spectators I have hardly been shooting since my last trip, mainly because my health has been shoddy thanks to the flu and then the other times the weather has been just dismal. Same goes for today ...
vistas The roll I’m showing you today happened when I took a friend up the next hill to show her the view. I always go up there when I need to get the experience of a ...
pointy hats I was debating whether to post all New Year’s Eve pictures together or split them into rolls. The problem solved itself since I still haven’t developed all the rolls from that particular trip and this ...
poppit(z) Early this morning when I couldn’t sleep I finished one of my long term digital projects the delightful weirdness of being by making a final selection of the images involved and putting them in order ...
on fire After lots of idle talk I have finally made an effort and added some of my film stuff to my portfolio. Since I have been experimenting a lot, I’m still struggling to find the connecting ...
needle factory Not even one roll of film lying next to my scanner table and I only have one roll of black and white film left – meant to be pushed to 3200 – before I’ll get ...
uprooted Having just one roll lying around to be scanned sure feels nice. I thought I’d keep up the feeling and developed another when I finished scanning the one from yesterday. However, by tomorrow I will ...
hiding Would you believe that I’m actually up to date with my scanning?! I was so disconcerted by the fact that I didn’t need to scan anything anymore that I developed another roll of 120 just ...
companionship You know, little triumphs go like this: Turns out that the instant coffee I use for developing a lot of my film is cheaper when I buy two jars at once! I now also convinced ...
