Happy New Year 2015 First of all, I wish you all a Happy New Year! At the beginning of each year I always like to take stock of the previous year. Since I have started blogging in 2011 it has ...
How to develop black and white film the lazy way A lot of people feel rather intimidated by doing their own film development at home. I definitely understand it, I was worried myself and didn’t dare to try it myself until after someone else showed ...
up there Out there it’s ISO 1600 weather, grey, cold and rainy, so I didn’t even bother taking a camera with me when we went out to run errands. And just as I suspected I only saw ...
waiting, watching Today I wanted to develop some film and found a monster sitting on the inner tube of my developing tank. It had wings and it looked rather unfriendly, so I decided to wait with the ...
Why shoot film in the digital age? Lately I have been thinking a lot about analog photography and whether I should maybe stop doing digital photography altogether. Wait, what? Don’t we live in the digital age and isn’t film something completely outdated? ...
your mother … During my trip to Berlin in March I shot this roll and completely forgot about it after scanning it. The negatives were a bit more contrasty than what Kentmere normally looks like in Rodinal, because I ...
modern driftwood In the winter a big storm hit San Sebastian and a flood damaged all the four bridges and part of the beach front. The next day I went for a walk with my Zorki to see the ...
too late I stopped using an external light meter with my Zorki more than a year ago. It just slowed me down way too much and I felt like I was just blindly following the light meter ...
we have to wait outside At the end of January we went to Bilbao to escape the noise of the celebrations of the day of San Sebastian. It was rainy, grey and dark, just as was to be expected in ...
guggenheim At the beginning of the year we went to Bilbao for a long weekend. In winter the Basque country is very wet, so we got rained on quite a lot. However, we still had a ...
take away coffee Before I continue with my usual mischief I actually want to catch up on all my editing. This way I can actually be up to date for once instead of always trying to catch up ...
big hug for grandma I was 16 when I shot my first roll of black and white film. I can’t remember what kind of film it was, but it must have been ISO 100 film, because I came back ...
libre A new batch of film has arrived and so I have now 25 rolls of Tri-X to shoot, 10 of which are 35mm and 15 are 120 film. As you can clearly see from the ...
bored keeper Being in the Basque Country also has its downsides. One of them is that doing paperwork concerning the Spanish government always involves metal detectors and x-rays. Sure, I can understand the notion. After all I ...
potential cindarella Again a late post from me, because I was actually travelling today and didn’t have enough time to edit the pictures I wanted to show you. These were taken last week when I was out ...
geometry These pictures were taken last week while exploring Egia. I think I’ve found one of the good spots for street photography here and will definitely be haunting that square on warm days. Slowly I’m also figuring out ...
playing with fire The pictures I’m showing you today were taken during the fiesta of San Juan, which celebrates the summer solstice. The local superstition involves lighting lots of fires and jumping over them to purify yourself for ...
england Of course the title is slightly misleading, since these were not taken in England. I’m bad with titles though and this one suggested itself. The pictures themselves were taken last weekend while we went for ...
lonely bike The pictures I am showing you today were shot last week while exploring Egia and Jaialai. I already posted pictures taken with the Isolette on the same day. The Isolette pictures were slightly overexposed – ...
almost My current project of exploring this town with my Zorki is one of those exercises in patience. Not every neighbourhood is exciting and full of people. Nevertheless I’m trying to capture the atmosphere in these quiet neighbourhoods as ...
