into the light You might have noticed that I travel a lot. Would you be surprised if I tell you that I don’t particularly enjoy the actual travel at all? I like going to places and seeing new ...
swinging cooks I think it’s that time again when I start complaining about the weather. It’s raining, again …! Didn’t we already have enough of that in winter? In case the universe hasn’t noticed it yet: I ...
careful with the knife I’ve been waiting for the C41 chemicals to be delivered so that I can finally see some of my pictures from our trip to Buenos Aires, but sadly they’re still backordered. It will probably still ...
about forks and spoons I didn’t quite manage to finish the roll I started today, but I’m trying to carry on my habit of shooting (almost) daily. Although this place doesn’t offer as much as Buenos Aires, it’s not ...
vistas The roll I’m showing you today happened when I took a friend up the next hill to show her the view. I always go up there when I need to get the experience of a ...
companionship You know, little triumphs go like this: Turns out that the instant coffee I use for developing a lot of my film is cheaper when I buy two jars at once! I now also convinced ...
riding with the simpsons Tomorrow early in the morning I need to go to the airport to catch a flight back home. Although I didn’t achieve everything I wanted to do here, I think it was a relatively successful ...
let’s go I stumbled out of bed way too early this morning, and before I was even half awake I started loading my Rollei, because there was fog outside! I was out of the door a couple ...
texture The other day I made a little mistake and scanned some medium format in 2400 dpi. Sure, the quality is great and you get seemingly infinite zoom, but boy does it take long to edit ...
italia I get the overwhelming feeling that the days just don’t have enough hours. I have so much developing and scanning to do, need to read, do my homework for language school and a million other ...
too early After a couple of weeks of early starts I kinda know that title very well. The weather is so annoying and rainy that I hardly take any pictures either. It could be a good opportunity ...
old and new You know, I quite like taking pictures of traditions and collective behaviour, but I have to say that after hearing the same three marches repeatedly the whole day I’m actually sick and tired of it! ...
unhappy Is it me or are weekends unbearably short? I completely forgot what it was like to have an actual difference between weekdays and weekends, so my language course is kinda confusing me now. Tomorrow I ...
tunnel vision I had a busy day and yet I managed to shoot a roll in between and scanned another one as well. Still, the day never seems to have enough hours and I always seem to ...
terminus Again such an early morning! I should really learn to go to bed earlier. If I don’t get at least 7h of sleep I tend to feel like a zombie (and the feeling might be ...
Kurdish protests in Düsseldorf Film has one disadvantage that I normally see as an advantage: Processing it involves more than just copy & paste. A lot of effort and skill goes into developing film and especially with black and ...
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 ...
golden hour My office is slowly taken over by negatives that still need to be scanned. By now it’s several different piles from different places and in different formats. I’m looking forward to some rolls, dreading others ...
autumn Yesterday I was so curious about my mishap with semi-stand developing in Caffenol that I scanned the roll right away. Although I forgot to add some potassium bromide to my Caffenol-CL I can’t say I ...
partner look Half the fun of film photography for me is a healthy amount of experimentation. Yesterday I was bulk loading my first roll of film from a 100ft roll of XP2 and now I’m eager to ...
