A few weeks ago we took our friends from Australia, who are currently living in Berlin, out to the Soviet monument in Treptower Park. It’s a pretty incredible place, and I love coming here. Not a lot of tourists come here, and there’s usually not much going on. I also love bringing the Polaroid 110B [...]
Feels like it’s been ages since I took these photos, but it’s currently a nice 20 degrees outside in late October, so it feels only fitting to post them. It was a beautiful day in September, pretty much the last time we hung out in our garden for the entire day. We picked raspberries, had [...]
I recently got a package with three bags of the same kind of coffee beans (Kilimanjaro from El Salvador, courtesy of Square Mile), just processed in three different ways (pulped, washed, and natural). I wanted to try each with all the brewing methods I have at my disposal, and I made a video of the [...]
This year’s summer in Berlin was crap. It was nonexistent. It’s pretty sad, because we all love summer at The Germans’ house. Thankfully, in September, we had a couple of weeks of beautiful weather. One Sunday we headed out for a bike ride and ended up cycling a good chunk of the Berliner Mauerweg, a [...]
While the Mamiya C33 is not a camera that you carry around lightly, because, well, it’s not light at all, I like to use it very much. It is incredibly sharp when you get the focus right, and the blur is wonderfully soft, and the bellows allow focussing up to only a few centimeters away [...]
I started resenting not taking photos on a daily basis anymore. I just admire Astrid’s way and endurance of doing that. Then I remember that I still have a crap load of expired Polaroid 664 film left. Time to get out the 110B camera and get shooting! The two bottom shots were taken with Fuji [...]
As I’m working from home now most of the time, I’ve made it my new personal regiment to head out on a bike ride for lunch instead of eating. Served me well that it’s been very summer-y all week long so far. Just the other day, on my first 20km round through Berlin, I passed [...]
If you’re a regular over at my Flickr stream, you may have noticed an awful lot of photos of one particular place lately, the Michelberger Hotel. It’s kind of like the Ace Hotel of Berlin, and an incredibly photogenic spot, at least the lobby and the restaurant. As for their rooms, you be the judge, [...]
This photo was taken on Sunday, when the world was a better place, and it was the warmest day in history in Berlin. We didn’t do much, but we did go out for a walk with Mari. The sun went down gloriously, there’s no other word for it, promising a good day for Monday, which [...]
In September I Shot two conferences, blog post forthcoming Took about 3800 digital photos at both of them Shot several rolls of black and white film at both (which I have yet to scan) Put the Diana+ to the only good use I can think of, to shoot a roll of pinhole film at the [...]
