hats Last year in April I was in Buenos Aires for the first time. I had dreamed about it for many years and then it finally happened. It was wonderful and I brought back 53 rolls ...
lean I had another two weeks filled with photography experiments. After the stint in the darkroom I decided to reduce the amount of undeveloped rolls in the drawer and finally tackled something I’ve been preparing for ...
hold me The last couple of weeks have been full of experimentation and new developments (pardon the pun) after setting up my new darkroom. I have already made quite a number of prints and I was quite surprised ...
sunny days I’m glad to report that yesterday and today I finished a roll of film each. The roll count this month is still appallingly low, but at least I’m not entirely unproductive photographically. The only good ...
close to the water With any long term endeavour progress sometimes seems difficult to measure. It’s definitely hard for me to see my own development clearly until I take a step back and look over the work of a ...
football After many months of shooting almost daily I find myself in a position where I can’t seem to shoot much. I guess I need to just be patient and wait for the circumstances to improve ...
vamos Lately I’ve finished two big chunks of work that have kept me busy for months. One of them was to develop and edit all the film I had shot in Argentina in April and the ...
sniff As I mentioned the other day, I’m trying to improve my Russian at the moment. The one thing I love about learning languages is obscure tidbits of interesting information that sort of tell you something ...
volatile situation Today I managed to take at least a few pictures despite the rather appalling weather. I guess it’s autumn now for real and it will be more problematic now to get good pictures with all ...
checking for ear worms After already dealing with a few more rolls of Fomapan 400 last night I only have 2 more of them left to develop, before I start with the Argenti ARF+ 400. First I will try ...
black and white sunset It’s the week of the film festival over here, so the last couple of days we saw two rather good movies. Yesterday we even braved the torrential rains and came out for the last showing ...
strange handbag By now I’m running out of T-Max 400 shots to show you and as you might suspect, I’m rather glad about that. The curve of this film in Caffenol just doesn’t do it for me, ...
dive The amazing and quite unbelievable truth is that I’m done with my Argentina pictures. I have now developed, scanned and edited all 53 rolls! I originally hoped that all of this would only take me ...
kiss Today I scanned the last 120 roll from Argentina and now the only thing left to do is edit this last batch of 10 rolls. With only 2 rolls that need to be colour corrected ...
downstairs Today was the first day in months that I’ve not seen a single surfer in the water. Even when the sea is wild you’ll find one or two crazies trying to cheat death anyway. Suffice ...
exercise I can’t quite believe it myself, but I’m now down to the last 5 rolls of pictures from Argentina. Today I spent a bit of time scanning the rolls that I developed yesterday and if ...
news I wasn’t too surprised yesterday to find the streets somewhat deserted at my usual time. The summer has clearly ended and everyone seems to be back to school or work. I will try once more around ...
modern day pirate The last couple of days I’ve been busy taking care of the archive instead of adding more pictures to it. It was time to move the digital archive to a new hard drive and the ...
dots vs stripes Occasionally my health is a little useless, and yesterday it was one of those days, so I was struggling to get anything done at all. In the end I just spent some time watching documentaries ...
no fear At the beginning of each month I always spend a few days editing the pictures of a full month in one go. It was time to get the pictures shot in July out of the ...
