fireworks Today I could have put my feet up and done nothing, since I finished developing and the last 4 rolls of C41 yesterday. I was finally done! Instead of slowing down though I edited some ...
ouch Progress! I developed all the rolls from my last trip + one experimental roll and now I can move on to the last 6 rolls which are mostly from previous trips. They always got pushed ...
red and green Late last night at about 2am I was dealing with quite a bit of panic: What if I run out of film on our trip to Argentina? I checked the prices of film over there ...
creepy christmas Today was the first time that I attempted to develop a couple of 35mm rolls and then feed them to my Pakon as soon as they were dry. It worked fantastically and after scanning I ...
angel After a full week of resting I’m still not fully recovered yet, but I’m doing my best to get on my feet again quickly. Quite frankly, I don’t think the flu has hit me quite ...
snow I’m still struggling with my flu, so I’ll keep it short: Today’s roll was shot on one of the coldest days at the end of last year. Shooting in the cold and snow is difficult, ...
pre-twirl After setting up Paco the other day I would have liked to make a start at the 30+ rolls of film that I still have lying around to be scanned. However, my health had other ...
golden Since yesterday I have been fighting with Francisco – he’s not been behaving. Just to clarify, we agreed to call my new Pakon F135 plus Paco and well, when children don’t behave, they get called ...
pain is inevitable After an afternoon of shooting the carnival proceedings I have to say that the whole event is actually a mystery to me. I’m not from around here and so I never grew up with the ...
babylon Today I had a little bit of a senior moment when I was developing my film and forgot to push it the 2 stops that I had intended for it. One would think that I ...
autumn colours The weather these days is largely too uninviting to be out and about shooting. It’s rainy, cold and just a little too dark for what I want to be shooting, so I don’t even take ...
testosterone Although my health is a lot better these days because of a new supplement I’m taking, I still occasionally get bad days. Today was one of those days and so I decided to stay home. ...
free hugs I actually posted this yesterday afternoon, but somehow it didn’t work. Since I was on my way out, I didn’t double-check. That’s what happens when you’re busy and do too many things at once! This ...
vegetarian kebab Before the Dia De Los Reyes around here there is always a parade with floats, dressed up youths and animals. The kids gleefully go diving after the sweets that are thrown from the floats as ...
Happy New Year 2015 First of all, I wish you all a Happy New Year! At the beginning of each year I always like to take stock of the previous year. Since I have started blogging in 2011 it has ...
walk with a friend It’s the last day of the year and it smells of beetroot in the kitchen. As long as I can remember (and probably even before) my parents made a certain kind of beetroot salad for ...
bliss With all the snow the outside world doesn’t seem too inviting. However, the outside world brought finally my packet of RPX400 – they were only 7 days late! The rolls came together with a 100 ...
red I’m glad that I have already shot more than 20 rolls of film on this trip, since the temperatures are now getting really awful to be out shooting. -5°C are quite uncomfortable especially with a metal ...
dressed to play Today I shot 3 rolls of colour film in Seiffen, a small town in the mountains where they traditionally produce wooden toys and decoration for Christmas. It was actually very much like a Christmas outing, ...
road trip Nancy, my new Leica, has definitely brought me quite some photographic bliss over the last week. The ease of shooting with it and the haptic feedback is really rather enjoyable and I’m sure I’ll have ...
