After a nice and beautiful day out in London we were about ready to get into a more comfortable pace with drinks and dinner. We met up with Charlotte and Brian at the Princess Louise Pub for drinks. That pub is seriously old school, with little walled-off chambers for small groups of people all around [...]
Two weeks ago I visited London for the first time. I was invited to speak at a conference, but being the Flickr nerd I am, I planned in a little extra time for walking around with my camera. As chance had it my friend Astrid was in town on the very same day, so obviously [...]
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 [...]
The standard recommendation for the seems to be to stuff some good 400 speed color negative film in it. While that’s all good and fun, looking back I’m still wondering why that Lomography Holga package I got for Christmas came with a roll of 100 speed Fuji Reala.
Anyway, it’s all autumn and almost winter over [...]
I like reliving my youth, because who doesn’t? That youth involved skateboarding. Even in East-Germany I owned a rather funky-looking (by today’s standards anyway) skateboard that was manufactured by a company usually building machines for chocolate production. It had a nice and simple set of things not to do on the downside of the deck, [...]
J’s coming from a sailing family, and you won’t hear me complaining, there’s something so relaxed about sailing, something that brings you close to the elements, wind, air and water, and heaps of sun, if you’re lucky. Fortunately for Mari they have a boat, and they live close to the water. I’m sure Mari will [...]
When I answered Astrid’s question on why I shoot film, I forgot one thing, and it’s been nagging me ever since. Okay, that’s not exactly true, but it’s still part of the equation. But I did want to keep the answer short, and the main reasons why I started shooting film are summed up pretty [...]
Just a quick one. If you ever wondered, why I shoot and love film, head on over to Astrid’s blog, where I answer that very question in all its glory.
Hope you have a great weekend, and I certainly hope it involves film.
Do people still use the word quickie? No idea, anyway, I do.
As a Holga fan I’m sure you’ve noticed a dip in the Holga matrix just recently. That’s because the Holga manufacturer has unleashed no less than two accessory lenses upon the mind-blown toy camera photographer world. A wide-angle and a tele lens, sweet stuff. [...]
