sniff As I mentioned the other day, I’m trying to improve my Russian at the moment. The one thing I love about learning languages is obscure tidbits of interesting information that sort of tell you something ...
oranges I’ve been struggling to finish the roll I had in my Leica, but today I finally managed on a walk through the neighbourhood. It was surprisingly warm today, rather summery in fact, so the weather ...
volatile situation Today I managed to take at least a few pictures despite the rather appalling weather. I guess it’s autumn now for real and it will be more problematic now to get good pictures with all ...
night skating The last few days I was very busy with work and my health wasn’t too cooperative either, so I didn’t spend much time on photography. I was very productive photographically over the summer, so I ...
checking for ear worms After already dealing with a few more rolls of Fomapan 400 last night I only have 2 more of them left to develop, before I start with the Argenti ARF+ 400. First I will try ...
black and white sunset It’s the week of the film festival over here, so the last couple of days we saw two rather good movies. Yesterday we even braved the torrential rains and came out for the last showing ...
feed me Today was the official start of autumn and that means that it’s the time of the year when I need to start pushing my film. It gets a little colder and darker, and even a ...
strange handbag By now I’m running out of T-Max 400 shots to show you and as you might suspect, I’m rather glad about that. The curve of this film in Caffenol just doesn’t do it for me, ...
on the outside I rarely take a day off, but occasionally it happens that I neither shoot, nor develop, nor scan, nor edit. These are rare occasions, but they do happen, even if usually not by choice. This ...
dive The amazing and quite unbelievable truth is that I’m done with my Argentina pictures. I have now developed, scanned and edited all 53 rolls! I originally hoped that all of this would only take me ...
taxi Today I spent most of my time editing pictures. Of the last 10 rolls from Argentina I now only have 3 more left to do, 2 of which need colour correction, and so far I’m ...
kiss Today I scanned the last 120 roll from Argentina and now the only thing left to do is edit this last batch of 10 rolls. With only 2 rolls that need to be colour corrected ...
downstairs Today was the first day in months that I’ve not seen a single surfer in the water. Even when the sea is wild you’ll find one or two crazies trying to cheat death anyway. Suffice ...
final call It has been roughly a year since I first thought of going all film and since the end of October 2014 I haven’t shot a serious picture with a digital camera. In fact I try ...
exercise I can’t quite believe it myself, but I’m now down to the last 5 rolls of pictures from Argentina. Today I spent a bit of time scanning the rolls that I developed yesterday and if ...
coffee Today I wanted to shoot my last roll of Fomapan 400, but clearly it wasn’t meant to be. The leader ripped and the film never forwarded. This time I’m sure I checked that it was ...
news I wasn’t too surprised yesterday to find the streets somewhat deserted at my usual time. The summer has clearly ended and everyone seems to be back to school or work. I will try once more around ...
little ones The last few months have been exceptionally productive. I’ve shot a lot over the summer while also catching up on my development. Now that the summer is pretty much over I fear that the streets ...
modern day pirate The last couple of days I’ve been busy taking care of the archive instead of adding more pictures to it. It was time to move the digital archive to a new hard drive and the ...
dots vs stripes Occasionally my health is a little useless, and yesterday it was one of those days, so I was struggling to get anything done at all. In the end I just spent some time watching documentaries ...
