final call It has been roughly a year since I first thought of going all film and since the end of October 2014 I haven’t shot a serious picture with a digital camera. In fact I try ...
exercise I can’t quite believe it myself, but I’m now down to the last 5 rolls of pictures from Argentina. Today I spent a bit of time scanning the rolls that I developed yesterday and if ...
coffee Today I wanted to shoot my last roll of Fomapan 400, but clearly it wasn’t meant to be. The leader ripped and the film never forwarded. This time I’m sure I checked that it was ...
news I wasn’t too surprised yesterday to find the streets somewhat deserted at my usual time. The summer has clearly ended and everyone seems to be back to school or work. I will try once more around ...
little ones The last few months have been exceptionally productive. I’ve shot a lot over the summer while also catching up on my development. Now that the summer is pretty much over I fear that the streets ...
modern day pirate The last couple of days I’ve been busy taking care of the archive instead of adding more pictures to it. It was time to move the digital archive to a new hard drive and the ...
on the beach It’s getting a bit colder now, but yesterday we still used the brilliant weather for a trip to the beach. “Trip”, that sounds way too involved, the beach is actually just down the road from ...
dots vs stripes Occasionally my health is a little useless, and yesterday it was one of those days, so I was struggling to get anything done at all. In the end I just spent some time watching documentaries ...
asleep Trying out new developers is always a bit of a scary thing, because you might ruin some perfectly good pictures in the process. Of course I try not to experiment with important rolls, but sometimes ...
no fear At the beginning of each month I always spend a few days editing the pictures of a full month in one go. It was time to get the pictures shot in July out of the ...
up they go Over the course of the summer I have come to follow a certain route through our neighbourhood that takes me past all the good spots for street photography on the way into town. I pass ...
salty In our house the most dangerous thing to ask is: “Do you want to go to a bookshop?”, and yet, I do say it from time to time. The sun came out in the afternoon, ...
35 What else could follow after a 35°C day other than a thunderstorm and a few days of rain? Well, wet ISO 1600 weather was what we had all day and I didn’t even bother taking ...
beach bar at night You might have noticed that in most of my posts these days I talk of technical details more than anything else. The reason is that most of my other summer adventures apart from the development ...
on the corner I could well call it a sign that I have just five 35mm negative sleeves left when I have another five rolls of C41 film to develop to reach the capacity of the chemicals. An ...
playing catch This month was a rather productive one. I not only managed to develop, scan and edit a significant portion of my rolls from Argentina but also managed to keep up with the development of the ...
neck ache It’s been a very hot day, but I walked into town anyway to see whether I could shoot a few rolls. With the Leica I shot a roll of Fomapan 400 and the penultimate roll ...
the moves After a few days of “fun” with my health I finally managed to get some shooting done down at the beach. I hacked a couple of Kodak Gold 200 rolls to register as ISO 400 ...
find the dog Today when I pulled a roll of RPX400 I had just developed in Rodinal out of the tank I was a bit confused. I had developed it for 1 1/2h and the roll looked strange. ...
telekinesis After all the work with development the last few days I took a break today and only edited pictures. After all, this has to be done too at some point! It’s good to finally see ...
