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 ...
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 ...
Leica + GoPro POV Street Photography I just bought a new GoPro Hero 7 Black for POV street photography videos and tested it for the very first time in this video while out taking pictures with my trusty Leica M6 and ...
photo bomb Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Yesterday I had to take an unexpected break from editing, because I wasn’t feeling too well. Even though my health is reasonably ok these ...
Rain dance Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Today a miracle happened: I found two rolls that were already edited although my clever OCD Excel sheet said that they still need to ...
The heat is on! Another hot day over here and yet I continue with my editing mission. I managed a couple more rolls, but it was a struggle, since they were 35mm rolls and those always seem to take ...
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 ...
Joy Sometimes life gets in the way of updating my blog and I certainly had a couple of busy and exciting months. My health has been improving a lot thanks to the new treatment and this ...
underground The last few months have been rather difficult and strange for me. It’s been a bit of a battle with my health, and technology has not been kind to me lately either. But then there ...
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 ...
hands The dreaded day has come: The last pictures from Argentina! It makes me a little sad, because having these pictures in my Quick Collection in Lightroom was somewhat reassuring. But well, don’t worry, there are ...
indoor football Now that my blog is working again properly, I’m going to make an effort to post at least once a week until I have caught up a little. Right now I’m more than a year ...
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 ...
books always books This last week has been spent with colour film development, language learning – my newest project is to learn Russian – and I also got around to shooting a couple of rolls. Since the weather doesn’t ...
all the pretty little horses A couple of days ago we returned from our last trip to Madrid. Instead of melting in 40°C weather, this time we were freezing cold at times. It seems we always pick the wrong time ...
flip These days it has been cold and wet, which has actually kept me from shooting. I’ve only been out to shoot a couple of times apart from one day when I spent some time to ...
Happy New Year 2017 First of all I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year 2017! It has become a little new year tradition for me to share with you a selection of my best pictures of ...
jetlag impressions I have to say that I really enjoyed my relaxed and travel free Christmas this year. Normally Christmas always turns into a lot of stress thanks to crowded airports and last minute Christmas shopping woes. However, ...
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 ...
