A hike with my Rolleicord Last year I started making point of view videos to accompany these blog posts, since I thought it would be nice to remember the context of some of the pictures I was taking. A lot ...
Lockdown self-portraits on instax and 4×5 film During the lockdown photography was really difficult for me here, because most of my photography happens outdoors, street photography, documentary photography, that sort of thing. In Spain the lockdown was really strict though, so going ...
nostalgia When the going gets tough, it feels nice to have footage from before the Coronavirus pandemic to edit. That’s what I did the last week and I think it did me some good. By now ...
Normality We’re living through very strange times indeed. For me it isn’t really anything new to be stuck inside because of some health crisis. Normally these are my own health problems though and everyone else just ...
Landscapes with the Mamiya Universal Press In the last blog post I shared the pictures and video from my very first outing with my new Mamiya Universal Press. I was shooting peel apart film in it right after getting it from ...
home sweet home The last couple of days were very productive and I managed to edit 7 rolls each on both days. That’s a lot of work, so I was busy with that all day. There isn’t that ...
Protests against the Zubieta garbage incinerator I often complain that the little Basque beach resort where we live is photographically boring. You can see everything there is to see in a few days, it’s invariably a little too glossy, a little ...
Christmas in the Basque Country – Part 2 Yesterday I returned from a trip to Germany where I was working on 3 different projects. It was cold and uncomfortable, there was a lot of long winded and annoying travel involved, but while I ...
Christmas in the Basque Country – Part 1 I always plan on posting more and then life somehow gets in the way. This time the problem was that I’ve been having way too much fun with the courses I’m taking on coursera and ...
levitation for beginners Not so long ago I switched back to my Zeiss lens and zone focussing for the summer. I didn’t realise how much I missed it to just be walking without looking through the viewfinder and ...
dinosaur on the prowl Wow, what a week I had! Friday last week our wonderful Women Who Shoot Film exhibition opened at Feed Arts & Cultural Center in Kankakee, Illinois. One of the pictures from this blog post is ...
bubbles Last week I told you that I experimented with a little pinhole camera I built myself with still rather unpredictable results. This week my experimentation took me to another strange beast which is similarly unusual ...
winter journey – part 2 Last week I decided to finally tackle my big box of undeveloped rolls of film. The problem with being a prolific shooter is that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with my development, especially when I’m shooting ...
winter journey It’s been a while, don’t you think? Well, don’t worry, I think I’m finally getting back into the swing of things after having a well-deserved break, so you should see more posts soon. The last ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
