in that other world At the moment I’m experimenting again with stand-development in Rodinal. When I first started with it I actually did a lot of careless agitation, which increased grain. Later I tried to learn from my experiences ...
dog pleasures Sometimes I look at the results from a day out and I’m utterly disappointed. Other times however, I can’t stop looking at the pictures amazed at what I somehow managed to produce. Especially with 120 ...
beached Yesterday I returned from my last trip and it was such a major headache to travel this time. After the strikes of the railway workers on the weekend and the Wednesday before, they actually announced ...
ghosts When I ordered a roll of XP2 a few weeks back to test it, I wasn’t really expecting much to be honest. After all it’s C41 film and abusing it in black and white chemicals seems ...
smiles At the moment I’m travelling, so I don’t know whether I will have that much time to post pictures. I’ll try to keep them coming. Just before leaving I made a point of scanning the last ...

jehovah’s witnesses Today I’ll show you the results from my first roll of Eastman Double-X. Although these look really promising the negs were a tad too dense at ISO 250 in my XA when developing in Rodinal. ...
the doll It’s been a roller coaster of a week and it would have been full even with half the things that happened. I guess the next few weeks will be similar as well and I probably ...
the elephant Whenever I shoot my XA at night I usually follow it up with a couple of rolls shot at ISO 800 in daylight, because I forgot to change the setting of the light meter. This ...
together The Rolleicord can be a bit challenging for shooting street. There is so much to keep in mind: Forwarding the film, the number of exposures left on the roll, cocking the shutter, setting the correct ...

approved by the ministry of silly hats Film always inspires me to experiment. Different film emulsions, different developers, pushing, pulling, different agitation schemes and so on. Of course in the process things tend to go wrong as well. It’s bound to happen ...
