Protest photography during a general strike At the beginning of 2020 there was a general strike here in the Basque Country in Spain that addressed the high living costs and poor social welfare in the region. When I read about it ...
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 ...

Shooting ISO 100 film in winter Yesterday I uploaded another video to YouTube telling the story of a particularly difficult roll that I shot over the last few weeks, if not even months. I was a bit too optimistic for my ...
