Photography is my greatest passion… but just behind comes music. And above all if said music involves my daughter.
Sometimes I am lucky to combine both passions and have a terrific evening… and not enough film, unfortunately. So this time no silly roll-fillers.
Nothing exciting here, just the photos you make to fill a roll. Just imagine, you’re home, you got some time on your hands and a roll of film thats nearly full and you’d like to develop it. But you’re a cheapskate and don’t like to waste those shots like me.
So this post is about the shots you make from your bedroom window….
Well, of course they will be wasted… but ahem.. creatively!
And please remember that the very first photograph…
was taken by Nicéphore Niépce from such a place too, with nothing exceptional in sight except for roofs and chimneys. So I guess it’s keeping up an age old photographic legacy!
We took a stroll yesterday. Well, not really a stroll in these very high temperatures with an unforgiving sun beating down on my poor bald head (Gotta get me a hat, keep forgetting!)
….in Street Photography you ask?
Well, that’s a difficult question! There’s lots of important things in Street Photography (notice how I capitalise the words!).
Yeah, you were!
And honestly I can’t blame you! I thought I’d do it too. I really was on the verge of leaving the WWF – no, not the World Wildlife Fund but the Wonderful World of Film!
I was tempted, I tried and really, it was close….
Yes, please, do something good and support THIS PETITION to save the magnificent Google NIK Collection of photography tools! One a commercial software that cost about 500$ and was well worth it, it was acquired by Google in 2012. They did a great job in bringing down the price to little more than 100$. Thanks Google. Then they did still better and gave away the … Continue reading Do a good deed today!
Definitely some of my best photos happen early in the morning, when I go to work. Before 7 the city is still quiet, the light is great and sometimes all comes together to make a photograph I want to share.
Of course it’s nearly summer now and even before 7 a.m. the sun is up and it’s quite bright. No more moody shop window shots now.
The dark side has called out to me for a long time. It has lured me in sometimes and I always resisted… but I think this time I’m gone!
What dark side you ask?
I just state this bluntly.
I like the look of it more than color, and not because it’s supposed to be ‘artsy’. I have just come to see the world in black and white.
…I don’t like developing color film!
Some time ago I bought a C41 development kit and a handful of cheap color film (Fuji Superia 200) and those last weeks / months, I have shot all but one of them. I used my Olympus Trip 35, the XA2 and even the now gone Canon A-1 with those films.
And I have developed them! These are the results fresh out of the Olympus Trip 35: Continue reading “It’s Official….”
It’s been 4 years now that I have returned to film photography. At first not full time, but later increasingly so.
What brought me back to it? Simple answer, the Fuji X100! Continue reading “Among my First Analog Photos, Thank you Canonet 28”
