delicious fingers Since yesterday I have developed 2 batches of film with the help of my new Jobo CPE-2. The first batch had pretty much sky in every picture and they turned out perfectly. I think I ...
tones Although I mostly shoot street I occasionally dabble in other genres. These shots taken in Barcelona are examples of such endeavours. If you ask me, Barcelona is a great city, not only to see pretty ...
fast After another couple of rolls in my new Jobo tank I’m starting to get the hang of the spools. The first two rolls still involved a bit of swearing, but this time I did much ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Russian victory parade The last few days have been a bit rough health-wise, so I haven’t been shooting any film at all. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get a chance. And if not I’ll probably just finish the last shot ...
flying Since I finished my Masters degree a few years ago I hadn’t written a line of code, because I didn’t really feel like it. However, I decided to put my education to some use and ...
can’t find you I’m glad that I used the opportunity to shoot as much as I did in the last two weeks, because now the rain has started again. Around here it’s sadly rather normal for the rain ...
on the hunt Film really doesn’t make me any more patient normally. These days I actually often develop and scan my film on the same day, because I have found a rather immediate workflow with the Pakon. In ...
