black and white sunset It’s the week of the film festival over here, so the last couple of days we saw two rather good movies. Yesterday we even braved the torrential rains and came out for the last showing ...
strange handbag By now I’m running out of T-Max 400 shots to show you and as you might suspect, I’m rather glad about that. The curve of this film in Caffenol just doesn’t do it for me, ...
dive The amazing and quite unbelievable truth is that I’m done with my Argentina pictures. I have now developed, scanned and edited all 53 rolls! I originally hoped that all of this would only take me ...
kiss Today I scanned the last 120 roll from Argentina and now the only thing left to do is edit this last batch of 10 rolls. With only 2 rolls that need to be colour corrected ...
downstairs Today was the first day in months that I’ve not seen a single surfer in the water. Even when the sea is wild you’ll find one or two crazies trying to cheat death anyway. Suffice ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
the eyes Today I looked through my negative folder and located two rolls that I’ve been meaning to re-scan to test my Pakon scanner a bit more. Of course I’ve already scanned literally hundreds of rolls with ...
movement Today I’m showing you some leftovers from my last trip and different rolls. There is only one more colour roll from this trip which I will show you tomorrow. I didn’t shoot much street on ...
balloon As you might remember my first attempt at developing T-Max 400 went horribly wrong and the negatives were very thin and fogged in such a silly way that they were very hard to save. Today ...
How to develop black and white film the lazy way A lot of people feel rather intimidated by doing their own film development at home. I definitely understand it, I was worried myself and didn’t dare to try it myself until after someone else showed ...
a rainy moment On Monday I got a package from Ralf, one of my very dedicated followers, who actually sent me a medium format camera to try, an Agfa Isolette II folding camera! He even added a couple ...
