I found this film while searching for something on Flickr a while ago. It’s a pretty cheap slide film that’s only available at the German pharmacy dm. It’s a 100 speed slide film, and from the photos it looked as though it’d be a nice film to cross-process. So I headed into a pharmacy, bought [...]
Last year I wrote about film shops and photo labs in Berlin. As time passes, things obviously change. About time to give an update on what exactly has changed. New shops opened, existing shops (no they didn’t close but) change something, you know how things go in this economy (I love saying that, it’s so [...]
I was recently interviewed about the Holga by Jim Elson, an Australian exchange student. The result is a nice and short movie about people shooting Holga, showing them in action in a winter-y Berlin. To give you an idea, it was about -20 degrees Celsius when I was filmed. The Holga held up great, look [...]
While shooting a conference last November, I had my first contact with Fuji Neopan 1600, a high-speed black and white film. I decided to use it simply because I was shooting indoors most of the time, so both the high speed and the fact that it’s black and white were a good indication that it [...]
A friend was organizing a conference in Berlin, and a really great one to boot, and he asked me if I wanted to be their photographer. The heck I did, so I said yes. This meant a couple of things for me. First, it was obvious I was gonna shoot digital. If you know me [...]
I hate light leaks. I hate them. There’s nothing appealing about them for me, they’re neither what I consider lomo nor do they add anything, they just take away from the photo.
You can imagine my slight frustration when I found that some of the shots from the test rolls I took with the Olympus XA [...]
Let me just go ahead and say it: I like naturey crap. Everyone does. You just have to check Flickr’s Explore to see awesome HDR’d flower macros with some ugly insects and a sunset. Trust me, it’s there, I’m just trying to keep you from hurting your eyes, that’s all. I shot some naturey crap [...]
Okay, so I’m sure you’re wondering, what on earth is inspiring about airports? The usual stuff you get to see is just downright boring, I won’t disagree with you here. There’s nothing more boring and mundane than security, checkin, and finding your way around an airport, especially when security is constantly eyeing your vintage cameras [...]
Time to get down and dirty, eh? As I wrote yesterday I ran two rolls through the Holga with the new lenses to get a feel for the images they produce. I did some shots just switching the lenses, and then a couple of shots varying the focus. Let’s have a look at the former. [...]
