that big bear Last year in January I was facing a huge backlog of pictures to post-process after not editing anything for about 2 or 3 months. I thought that I needed to catch up to be able ...
canal television Flying with film can be a bit difficult, especially if you’re flying with high ISO film and the police officers don’t know how to use the machine for hand-checking the film. Since I was travelling ...
trains After 11 hours of cars, planes and bus rides I was really really tired today. Do you think though that this kept me from scanning my first roll of Leica pictures to see how they ...
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 ...
pointers This morning it was snowing and snowing and snowing. So much that we even considered building a snowman! However, it was just too cold and we didn’t have any good gloves for that sort of ...
pray With -8°C out there we actually decided to have a warm day in today. There isn’t much to report apart from the fact that I have shot 21 rolls of film with my Leica so ...
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, ...
big eyes Back when I started my first photography blog I had a digital SLR that I used to take everywhere. I was still undecided what I would shoot, but I was drawn to little details, urban ...
merry christmas I just wanted to wish you all a merry christmas before going to bed, so here it goes: Merry Christmas! After stuffing myself with orange duck and looking at all the extremely nice presents (a ...
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 ...
buy yourself happiness Today I took a bit of a break and didn’t take any pictures. After so many rolls and walking around in all kinds of horrible weather the last few days, it wasn’t so bad not ...
all or nothing The last few days with my new Leica were very productive. Even today I took some pictures although my hometown really isn’t all that interesting. Like most East German towns it has quite a number ...
like a good friend The last few days I’ve been scanning a lot, and still, I have about 14 developed rolls lying around here waiting to be scanned and another 10 rolls to be developed. I have given up ...
football fans at night Today we finally had some good weather and I used the opportunity to take out my Rollei for the last time this year. I’m actually not taking it on my trip to Germany because I ...
film water battery After weeks and weeks of rain and grey ISO 800-1600 weather I’m very much looking forward to travelling a bit. The place where I live isn’t exactly great for street photography even when the weather ...
unusual perspectives Yesterday was the last tango lesson of the year for us and for once the weather wasn’t too miserable. I loaded my XA with some rather hastily rolled XP2 and off we went. We were actually ...
