    large format test pinguin

    All 340 megapixels of him. First picture with my new camera. Not entirely unsuccessful but also a bit over exposed and not focused correctly. But als no light leaks so that’s something! Especially given that the camera and the film holder are 150 year old pieces of solid-mahagoni furniture. This was shot on 18×24 cm…

    dear diary, apparently it’s autumn now

    Kitsch as payback for the passing of time. All with a 1999 Sony Mavica FD88, which saves images (3 or 4 of them usually) on 1.44 MB floppy disks – a frankly terrible choice for a digital camera. So obviously I’m a huge fan. Everything straight from the camera, just cropped to square format in…

    almost

    fountain pen & ink & water Much more frustrating than producing things I hate completely (lots of those!) is making things I almost like. Like these. “oh wow this turned out completely shit” – fun, part of the process, who cares, try next thing “this is wrong but not completely” – fucking stupid, kill me…

    I’ve already posted the iphone version of this, which was maybe better (certainly sharper) but I have a thing for Rolleiflex mirror selfies and this is one. So it would be dishonest to myself not to post this. Also this isn’t a portfolio, this is a diary. Also these are a lot of justifications, maybe…

    I have another picture of this where the house looks straight but the tree doesn’t. I don’t quite understand how reality works. With a late 30s Certo Super Dollina, on Foma 100

    sun and leaves

    I have about 30 million pictures of the sun breaking through the tree tops and they never turn out screaming “summer is here” as much as this does in real life. I will try again next summer. This one with a 1930s Kochmann Reflex-Korelle, with a (1980s) 30 mm f3.5 Zodiak-8 lens adapted to it.…

    Pen and ink wash. This is so amazingly easy to fuck up. I’ve been doing the wash first, which is generally not how you do it [TM] but my ink isn’t waterproof and it doesn’t really make a difference. I have also destroyed many many other pictures in the pen stage so with this one…

    doing cow things. Cows are much easier to photograph than humans and pigeons. Petition to replace some humans and pigeons in Berlin with cows. With a Rolleiflex “Old Standard” (me, not the cow), on Rollei Ortho 25 film
