so I made a frame
Well it’s not really a frame, it’s just things glued to a canvas but you get the idea. The leaves are made from air-drying modeling …stuff (boesner keramiplast) which worked surprisingly well. I can’t really do anything other than leaves but leaves I can do. I started this mostly to try gilding but then the…

pictures of cranes
So there’s these cranes at alexanderplatz and they are kind of placed in a visually appealing fashion but I have taken a lot of pictures of them and it’s always just pictures of cranes. They look so much more interesting in real life somehow. so i give up. Here’s pictures of cranes. First one with…

more half-frame things
These are fake in the sense that I scanned them as single images initially and the black frames are not the original ones, but real in the sense that they were taken next to each other and this is what it looks like on the negative. Taken with a Ricoh Auto-Half E2 that I still…

in the cold cold night
Shot with a 1963 Voigtländer Vito CD with a flipped rear lens element. That is, “all effects in-camera” as the kids would say. It’s a bit strong for my liking at f2.8 (as these are) – f8 or so would have looked better. But f8 would also have meant like 10 minutes or so exposure…

Birds and Infrastructure
Camera: Ricoh Auto-Half E2, at full speed (which is like a frame a second or so, when it’s fully wound up). Cropped digitally. I forgot which film because i am very well organized.

Do not adjust your set
It’s …a thing …i made. i think it turned out pretty cool, for weird definitions of cool. The camera is a mid-80s (I think) Panasonic WVP-A2E color video camera with a single Newvicon video tube; plus digital CRT emulation to make it look right. The text is done in-camera (it’s a fancy camera). Some say…

Auto-Half Narcissism
New cameras must be used to take nudes first, it’s the law! Agfa APX 100 at very-much-not ISO 100 kind of light levels. Through a Ricoh Auto Half E2. Also I need a longer cable release. And maybe faster film. Maybe 😛The dust is part of the whole vibe, man.

The 1976 Ricoh Auto-Half E2
…is just a wonderful break from all my overly professional manual cameras. It’s fully-automatic – but in a way that would still count as fully-automatic today. Camera makers have a bit of a habit of claiming things are “automatic”, especially around the mid-20th century – but this little thing really deserves that label. There are…

End of Summer
With a 1917 Kodak 1A Autographic Special, adapted to 120 medium-format film. The Kodak will at some point need an overhaul of its …original overhaul. When I got it, the bellows were basically bellows-shaped dust and bits of paper, so I made a new set for it. But bellows material is really hard to come…

Leipzig with a Rolleiflex
These are pictures of nothing, because I like pictures of nothing. On Foma Ortho 400, which I still find pretty neat.
