Yeah, I got this very beautiful Leica IIIa which is bound to be my weapon of choice from now on.
I have some very nice 50mm lenses with it, a Summitar, a Summar that’s ‘a bit’ hazy and an Industar 50/3.5 and a Jupiter 8 on the way from Mother Russia.
Then I thought about my other cameras, the Lomo, the XA2 and of course the Canon A-1 and T90 with their mighty lenses. What about them? Continue reading “Downsizing….(again)!”
I’ve received a present!
It’s not Christmas, it’s not my birthday, but I received a present.
A very kind gent in the U.K. thought my photographs not too shabby and decided to part with his unused Leica IIIa. He sent it to me for the price of postage! Continue reading “Annoying little Wonder!”
Just to remind you…. You can see and buy my book on BLURB in both hardcover and paperback versions: Here’s the way to My Bookstore on Blurb! No profit for me in it! Just for your enjoyment. But if ever you like my little book, you can make a donation to finance a roll of HP5, a pint of Rodinal or a Leica…. just kidding. Continue reading Six by Four Vol.1 – Humans
Or: ‘What I think of it (without having seen or held it in real…..’
In 5 days, The Impossible Project will write history! They will launch the first new real ‘Polaroid’ camera in years – the first one for them, apart from the Instant Lab.
I just finished my first photo book and put it up for your critical eyes on BLURB. Continue reading “Six by Four Vol.1 – Humans”
I have always wondered if my threshold for keepers in a roll of film is high or low. I always tend to like quite a bit of photos from one roll, and that makes me wonder…
So I decided to try a thing: Here I submit to your critical eyes a whole roll, fresh from the lab (with some basic adjustments but no cropping), shot with my ‘new’ Canon T90. Continue reading “Finders Keepers – But how many?”
Canon had the F1, their crushing answer to Nikon’s F-cameras. Developed to outdo and best Nikon in every field (well, they had to if they wanted to keep existing as a professional’s choice!). They succeeded with this formidable camera.
But there were others too, more designed to appeal to the enlightened amateurs. Best known were the A-Series, that started off with a flash and a bang…. no, with the great AE-1. The SLR that taught me photography (the few bits I know at least), and there was the A-1, the beautiful thing I watched in the photographer’s shop window but was never able to afford.

Last Sunday I went for a photo-stroll around my home.
Nothing grand here, just some pictures for you to enjoy (or not). I took my beautiful Canon A-1 with the very fine 28mm f:2.8 lens, a roll of HP5+…..
Here are the results, well, some of them.
Would you like to accompany me for this stroll?
Just stepping out of the garage of our apartment I saw this in a very harsh spring sun:
This one reminds me of some SciFi BattleMechs before combat… 😉 Continue reading Just one picture…
This happened some days ago.
During my lunch break I took a stroll in the old city of Luxembourg, around the National Museum with my faithful Lomo LC-A+ (well, faithful… we’ll see). Continue reading “A Stroll around the National Museum”
No words this time. Photography! Continue reading Color Gallery….
Yes, I did it! I deleted my Flickr account! I did it because I was tired of having always the same persons (no bad feelings! Thanks for faving my pictures) fave all my pictures immediately after I posted them. No evaluating the pics, no real involvement there. They just faved EVERYTHING. And always hunting for more so called ‘followers’ finally annoyed me enough so that I … Continue reading Why I deleted my Flickr account
