say no to austerity Sometimes good photographic practice isn’t about going outside and shooting. Sometimes it’s taking care of your archive. Today I got a new folder for my negatives in the mail along with another pack of negative ...
about forks and spoons I didn’t quite manage to finish the roll I started today, but I’m trying to carry on my habit of shooting (almost) daily. Although this place doesn’t offer as much as Buenos Aires, it’s not ...
zombie pooh I’m still somewhat jet-lagged, but I’m slowly getting accustomed to being back home. I even shot a couple of rolls of Double-X yesterday and developed them in the evening. Shooting street here is so different! ...
bistro Yesterday in the evening/afternoon (depending on time-zone) we finally arrived after one hell of an annoying journey. After a mess with our seat reservations and luggage due to the incompetence of Iberia we were already ...
hugs and kisses Today was the last full day here in this wonderful city and I actually managed to finish off the last 3 rolls of film, because we went to see the ocean that isn’t an ocean. ...
danger I wouldn’t have believed it possible considering that I still don’t read that much in Spanish, but I just love the bookshops around here! I can spend a long while browsing through them and it’s ...
bunny alarm I find public transport in this city highly confusing. The grid outline of the city doesn’t help and none of the stops are announced. You have to know pretty exactly where you’re going to tell ...
hairfree coffee Did I mention that I like it here? Somehow around here things fall into place just like that, effortlessly. To give you an example: Today we went to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and ...
sorry After running all over town for the last couple of weeks we decided to take it easy yesterday and stayed in the neighbourhood. This doesn’t mean that we didn’t do anything though. There are elections ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
pointers I’m slowly progressing on my mission to develop all the film I have lying around before we go on our trip to Argentina at the beginning of April. I still have about 20 rolls to ...
the lamb Although I still feel under the weather things are starting to look a little better now. I was able to concentrate for a while on my reading and I also made an effort to scan. ...
rainy season There were two reasons why I got myself the Pakon. First of all, lately I’ve been shooting quite a bit of colour film and correcting the colours was giving me quite a bit of a ...
