narcissism (colorized)
Skin tones, it turns out, are very difficult to do. I ended up sort of dabbing them on (2nd pic is that in progress). Pre-mixing didn’t work at all. There’s still a bit of a texture to it that I couldn’t get rid of without wiping off all the paint again. But at normal viewing…

first try at hand-coloring black and white prints
…with oil paints. Which is super easy, actually. Will do more of that. The sky is a bit overly dramatic maybe, but I’m pretty happy with this. The basic idea is to use very little paint and just sort of rubbing it on the print, with cotton swabs or similar. That only works with fibre-based…

more Berlin on ORWO
(this is your brain, this is ORWO, this is your brain on ORWO) This film can do all emotions you want – as long as you want quiet despair mixed with a slight sense of nostalgia, the bitter-sweet kind, but sugar-free. Ihagee Exa w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 2.8/35mm on ORWO NP 27, expired 1992,…

look up
Isn’t Berlin pretty? These have been taken on very sunny days. It’s amazing how grey this film renders everything. (“Look at how depressing that looks, isn’t that cool???” – I swear I am fun at parties) Ihagee Exa w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 2.8/35mm on ORWO NP 27, expired 1992, scanned negatives

stairs
on very expired ORWO NP 20 from the strange country I was born in (“develop before 07 1992” – so the film lasted longer than the country). And it has expired in a somewhat magical way, everything looks sort of dream-like. Not a great dream, mind you, just some dream. I could post the whole…

summer
I don’t know why I like this but I do. Pictures with nothing happening, the art form. Also, this looks pretty much like the view through the Rolleiflex view finder, which I still find slightly magic in its ability to make things look just pleasant, somehow. Gotta get film grain lasered into my contact lenses.…

mick jagger’s least favorite place in Berlin

birds (of various ages)
Because I think it’s actually against the law to visit the coast and not come back with pictures of seagulls. Shot with a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard” which is very difficult to shoot downwards with without going over board. On Agfa RSX 50, expired sometime in the 90s, cross-processed in C41 (which works extremely well…

Shot with a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on Ilford Delta 400, scanned negative, cropped digitally (a lot).
