culture shock Normally I wait at least a couple of weeks before processing a roll of film, but last weekend I actually shot a test roll of Orwo N74+ and really wanted to see how it rates ...
(cos)playing Yesterday I felt like the universe was trying to prevent me from shooting. Just as I was about to go for a walk with my Rollei it started pouring down. Today I remedied the situation ...
surreal I was surprised when I saw the results from this roll. The experience of shooting it was really a rather rough one. I didn’t know the city too well and just wanted to shoot a ...
garden girls Patience is a virtue or so they say. Well, I can be patient – after all I shoot film -, but it’s still a little annoying that I will have to wait a whole month ...
tears for a rabbit Shooting film is an exercise in patience. You can’t see the picture right away and the whole process gives you only little glimpses until you can finally see the outcome of your efforts scanned or ...
hope On my last trip I actually moved out of my comfort zone quite a bit and asked some people whether I could take their picture. It was not quite on the level of street portraiture ...
old fashioned During the last few weeks I’ve been developing film and only looking at the results with a magnifying glass rather than scanning them right away. It was an exercise in patience and now I’m getting ...
se un agente del kaos I have now finished developing all the black and white rolls that I brought back from my most recent trip. I even developed some from before as well, which means that in total I developed ...
in that other world At the moment I’m experimenting again with stand-development in Rodinal. When I first started with it I actually did a lot of careless agitation, which increased grain. Later I tried to learn from my experiences ...
dog pleasures Sometimes I look at the results from a day out and I’m utterly disappointed. Other times however, I can’t stop looking at the pictures amazed at what I somehow managed to produce. Especially with 120 ...
beached Yesterday I returned from my last trip and it was such a major headache to travel this time. After the strikes of the railway workers on the weekend and the Wednesday before, they actually announced ...
vertigo Although I definitely have a fear of heights, this normally doesn’t keep me from going to high places to have a look down. I just like a railing or fence between me and the abyss, ...
ghosts When I ordered a roll of XP2 a few weeks back to test it, I wasn’t really expecting much to be honest. After all it’s C41 film and abusing it in black and white chemicals seems ...
in danger There is probably some kind of perverse law in the universe dictating that some things have to happen at the worst possible time. Like for example getting a terrible cold when you’re travelling. Although I ...
smiles At the moment I’m travelling, so I don’t know whether I will have that much time to post pictures. I’ll try to keep them coming. Just before leaving I made a point of scanning the last ...
child’s play A couple weeks ago I posted pictures from a roll of K400 that I shot accidentally at ISO 800. This is the companion roll of Tri-X that also ended up with the same ISO settings ...
jehovah’s witnesses Today I’ll show you the results from my first roll of Eastman Double-X. Although these look really promising the negs were a tad too dense at ISO 250 in my XA when developing in Rodinal. ...
the doll It’s been a roller coaster of a week and it would have been full even with half the things that happened. I guess the next few weeks will be similar as well and I probably ...
the elephant Whenever I shoot my XA at night I usually follow it up with a couple of rolls shot at ISO 800 in daylight, because I forgot to change the setting of the light meter. This ...
Why shoot film in the digital age? Lately I have been thinking a lot about analog photography and whether I should maybe stop doing digital photography altogether. Wait, what? Don’t we live in the digital age and isn’t film something completely outdated? ...
