impressions from the exhibition opening Shooting film means that sometimes one has to be patient. After a week of waiting I was curious to see how the pictures from the vernissage last week turned out. Normally I don’t develop a single roll ...
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 ...
donkeys Last night I was walking home late and started taking mental Cinestill pictures. After 4 shots that I thought would have worked I realised that I might be able to shoot a whole roll even ...
girl power Yesterday a family heirloom has found its way into my hands: the Lubitel 2 that belonged to my grandma! My mum even told me that my grandma used to develop and print the pictures herself! ...
obsession with round objects I had a great time at the exhibition opening last night and was really quite pleased how the room looked when it was finished. And very appropriately the band that was playing was actually a ...
friends When preparing an exhibition usually things go wrong. For me this time it took quite a bit of effort to locate my prints after the package disappeared somewhere. I managed to find them in the ...
tree huggers I was very disappointed yesterday to find out that my favourite drugstore colour film was discontinued. I obviously was trying to stock up on the stuff, but only found some relatively cheap Kodak Gold 3pack ...
tree climbers The most adventurous part of today was to hunt down packages containing prints, foamboard for mounting those prints and of course film! What a difficult undertaking, but after a lot of waiting and running around ...
asleep The last few days have been busy and I’ve spent quite some time developing and scanning C41 film. I wanted to develop 15 rolls and finish off the first litre of my Fuji Hunt C41 chemicals. ...
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 ...
Nick Cave in Barcelona It was almost a little funny how badly my newest incarnation of Robo the robotic agitator failed today. I had changed something in the design just prior to testing and rushed the coding a bit. ...
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 ...
animals I must say that I’m having a really great time on our trip. Yesterday we actually went to the Nick Cave concert that was the main reason for coming here and it was really great! ...
into the light You might have noticed that I travel a lot. Would you be surprised if I tell you that I don’t particularly enjoy the actual travel at all? I like going to places and seeing new ...
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 ...
swinging cooks I think it’s that time again when I start complaining about the weather. It’s raining, again …! Didn’t we already have enough of that in winter? In case the universe hasn’t noticed it yet: I ...
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 ...
