Lockdown self-portraits on instax and 4×5 film During the lockdown photography was really difficult for me here, because most of my photography happens outdoors, street photography, documentary photography, that sort of thing. In Spain the lockdown was really strict though, so going ...
lean I had another two weeks filled with photography experiments. After the stint in the darkroom I decided to reduce the amount of undeveloped rolls in the drawer and finally tackled something I’ve been preparing for ...
from above These days I’m testing my new lens thoroughly and making a good effort to get used to it. It’s a bit strange to have to point this big lens directly at people and actually focus, ...
ay mamiya The other day my friend Julia made me very happy by sending me a very special gift. For quite a while now I’ve been dreaming about a more flexible medium format camera to extend my range ...
abyss As I promised, today I show you a roll from my Rolleicord, taken sometime in May. I’ve been shooting the Rollei quite a bit, but since it’s all in colour there is nothing to show ...
good boy I almost didn’t take any of the shots I’m posting today, because I wasn’t planning on taking a camera to the Nick Cave concert. I only changed my mind last minute and if you’ve seen the concert pictures you ...
tourists looking up Having shot already 4 rolls of my batch of HP5+ I wanted to make sure that I don’t run out of black and white film and decided on the next emulsion to try. After testing ...
of red carpets and alien temples The first development tank I ever bought was a Jobo 1520. I wanted quality that would last, so I invested. The only problem was that it actually broke after only a few rolls! Somehow the lid ...
dedicated photographer Sometimes when I experiment things go wrong. At times they even go horribly wrong. In this case it wasn’t so bad although there was a minor mistake involved, I forgot to add potassium bromide to ...
head squeeze The pictures I’m showing you today were developed with the help of my robotic agitator. I built it a bit more than a month ago and it helped me develop 36 rolls already. I normally don’t ...
Nick Cave in Barcelona It was almost a little funny how badly my newest incarnation of Robo the robotic agitator failed today. I had changed something in the design just prior to testing and rushed the coding a bit. ...
animals I must say that I’m having a really great time on our trip. Yesterday we actually went to the Nick Cave concert that was the main reason for coming here and it was really great! ...
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 ...
say no to austerity Sometimes good photographic practice isn’t about going outside and shooting. Sometimes it’s taking care of your archive. Today I got a new folder for my negatives in the mail along with another pack of negative ...
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 ...
zombie pooh I’m still somewhat jet-lagged, but I’m slowly getting accustomed to being back home. I even shot a couple of rolls of Double-X yesterday and developed them in the evening. Shooting street here is so different! ...
transit This last month was such a wonderful adventure! I’ve finally been to another continent, I have seen the moon from the southern hemisphere and danced tango in Buenos Aires of all places! Could it get ...
bistro Yesterday in the evening/afternoon (depending on time-zone) we finally arrived after one hell of an annoying journey. After a mess with our seat reservations and luggage due to the incompetence of Iberia we were already ...
hugs and kisses Today was the last full day here in this wonderful city and I actually managed to finish off the last 3 rolls of film, because we went to see the ocean that isn’t an ocean. ...
water After a walk in Palermo and getting a wonderful book of Annemarie Heinrich’s work yesterday, we decided to go to the enchanting little bar in Barracas again to dance a few tangos and listen to ...
