unfinished business You might have noticed that it has become a little quiet around here. I vowed to catch up on my humungous backlog and instead I just stopped posting altogether. The reason is quickly summed up: ...
thirsty The day before yesterday ended a month of shooting exclusively low ISO film. Unsurprisingly the low speeds were encouraging me to shoot a lot of medium format, including 4 rolls in the Mamiya, 3 rolls ...
ready for summer The last week was filled with more low ISO shooting fun. I specifically wanted to finish off my rolls of Rollei Retro 80s in 120 and start shooting it in 35mm after I had run out ...
nice ride The last two weeks I have only shot low ISO film. This included some RPX 100 in the Leica, as well as Rollei Retro 80s – with and without an orange filter -, Ilford Pan F+ ...
slide glory After returning from our trip I’ve been using my time to experiment a little bit. I tried out my new camera – a lovely Zeiss Super Ikonta C 530/2 -, played with Ilford Pan F+ ...
a new companion Our trip to Buenos Aires this year was full of mishaps and adverse conditions. I won’t give you a detailed list of everything that has gone wrong, because it would simply be too long! Still, apart from all ...
hats Last year in April I was in Buenos Aires for the first time. I had dreamed about it for many years and then it finally happened. It was wonderful and I brought back 53 rolls ...
lean I had another two weeks filled with photography experiments. After the stint in the darkroom I decided to reduce the amount of undeveloped rolls in the drawer and finally tackled something I’ve been preparing for ...
hold me The last couple of weeks have been full of experimentation and new developments (pardon the pun) after setting up my new darkroom. I have already made quite a number of prints and I was quite surprised ...
around the corner A few days ago I got Sally Mann’s wonderful book “Hold Still” in the mail and already read the whole of it. I found it inspiring, funny and at times a little grim, which in ...
down south For 5 years I have posted almost every day when I had pictures to share. For the first year I even posted when I had nothing because I had a 365 project to complete. After ...
open wide I’m currently in the process of developing the final rolls of black and white film from last year. I’m less behind than usually at this stage, but this is mostly because I didn’t shoot much ...
special The other day my mum complained that I don’t tell any stories anymore that go with my pictures. Well, the truth is that there just isn’t anything to tell! This “city” is so small that everything interesting ...
68 Today I got a rather large package and couldn’t quite imagine what would warrant the size of it. I hadn’t ordered anything of that shape or size: Well, the content was a barely 2cm big ...
surf culture Today we returned from a short trip to Bilbao. The weather was surprisingly good, so we used our time to take pictures, explore the city a bit more and go to a couple of museums. ...
thumbs up Roll number 3 with my new Nokton 1.1 has a shot that completely convinced me of the lens. Yes, it can be hard to focus. It’s also big, intimidating and heavy, and yes, things get ...
thirsty Many times my experiments in photography are motivated by the question “what if?” It all started with the question: What if I were to shoot a picture a day for a year? What would happen ...
pretty in pink With sudden sunshine today I obviously felt the need to go out and shoot again. Such sunny days are rare around here in winter and quite unpredictable too. I still had ISO 400 film in ...
chess masters These days every morning seems surpass the previous one in greyness. Oh yes, it’s ugly out there: dark, cold, windy, rainy and it certainly isn’t any fun to go out and shoot in this kind ...
stop For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I have a preference for classical grain film. My favourite and most used emulsions – Kentmere 400 / ...
