strange traditions It has been a busy week full of developing, scanning and – surprisingly – shooting. I know, I know, I should be in the business of reducing my rolls now, but I just couldn’t resist ...
winter journey – part 2 Last week I decided to finally tackle my big box of undeveloped rolls of film. The problem with being a prolific shooter is that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with my development, especially when I’m shooting ...
winter journey It’s been a while, don’t you think? Well, don’t worry, I think I’m finally getting back into the swing of things after having a well-deserved break, so you should see more posts soon. The last ...
all new and shiny After my most recent trip I’ve been feeling somewhat tired. The reason is probably that I filled every day of the trip to the brim with shooting, museum visits and catching up on my social ...
unfinished business You might have noticed that it has become a little quiet around here. I vowed to catch up on my humungous backlog and instead I just stopped posting altogether. The reason is quickly summed up: ...
thirsty The day before yesterday ended a month of shooting exclusively low ISO film. Unsurprisingly the low speeds were encouraging me to shoot a lot of medium format, including 4 rolls in the Mamiya, 3 rolls ...
nice ride The last two weeks I have only shot low ISO film. This included some RPX 100 in the Leica, as well as Rollei Retro 80s – with and without an orange filter -, Ilford Pan F+ ...
slide glory After returning from our trip I’ve been using my time to experiment a little bit. I tried out my new camera – a lovely Zeiss Super Ikonta C 530/2 -, played with Ilford Pan F+ ...
hats Last year in April I was in Buenos Aires for the first time. I had dreamed about it for many years and then it finally happened. It was wonderful and I brought back 53 rolls ...
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 ...
around the corner A few days ago I got Sally Mann’s wonderful book “Hold Still” in the mail and already read the whole of it. I found it inspiring, funny and at times a little grim, which in ...
down south For 5 years I have posted almost every day when I had pictures to share. For the first year I even posted when I had nothing because I had a 365 project to complete. After ...
open wide I’m currently in the process of developing the final rolls of black and white film from last year. I’m less behind than usually at this stage, but this is mostly because I didn’t shoot much ...
special The other day my mum complained that I don’t tell any stories anymore that go with my pictures. Well, the truth is that there just isn’t anything to tell! This “city” is so small that everything interesting ...
68 Today I got a rather large package and couldn’t quite imagine what would warrant the size of it. I hadn’t ordered anything of that shape or size: Well, the content was a barely 2cm big ...
surf culture Today we returned from a short trip to Bilbao. The weather was surprisingly good, so we used our time to take pictures, explore the city a bit more and go to a couple of museums. ...
thumbs up Roll number 3 with my new Nokton 1.1 has a shot that completely convinced me of the lens. Yes, it can be hard to focus. It’s also big, intimidating and heavy, and yes, things get ...
thirsty Many times my experiments in photography are motivated by the question “what if?” It all started with the question: What if I were to shoot a picture a day for a year? What would happen ...
chess masters These days every morning seems surpass the previous one in greyness. Oh yes, it’s ugly out there: dark, cold, windy, rainy and it certainly isn’t any fun to go out and shoot in this kind ...
stop For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I have a preference for classical grain film. My favourite and most used emulsions – Kentmere 400 / ...
