    Still with a 30s Kochmann Reflex-Korelle of questionable reliability but now with a relatively rare pre-war coated Tessar f2.8. Though to be totally honest, I could have shot this through the bottom of a wine bottle for the same result. But it was the holy-grail Tessar. Lens-coating is just not very relevant at night. Or…

    ~1935 Kochmann Reflex-Korelle with an adapted 30 mm f3.5 Zodiak-8 fisheye lens, pointed straight up, during full moon. I have slightly underestimated the amount of movement of things in the sky. On the other hand, I didn’t really have the choice to do shorter exposures anyway. This one was about three minutes. On Fomapan 400.…

    karlovy vary in the sun

    With a Rolleiflex, on film of some sort. That I forgot on my desk but found and scanned today. It’s only chaos if it’s coming from the chaos region of france, otherwise it’s just a sparkling storage system.

    things of some nature

    paper & ink & dylan’s blonde on blonde. very much in the figuring out phase. i think liquid mask would help, as would something a bit more colorful than black for the washes. learnings so far: the key to liking your own stuff more is to not look at goya so much, that does help.…

    subminiature rainy day

    With a 1950s 17.5 mm Mycro III A. The google keyword is “HIT-type camera” for these. I’m slowly getting better at preparing the film for this little thing (it’s paper-backed 17.5 mm rollfilm, not exactly something one can just buy). Unfortunately my Mycro is slowly getting worse at being a camera. The back lock broke…

    we didn’t have birds for a while

    With a 1930s Kochmann Reflex-Korelle and a very very heavy 24 cm Schneider-Kreuznach Tele-Xenar. Which really belongs on a tripod, so of course this is hand-held. Two hands. #kochmannreflexkorelle #reflexkorelle

    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…

    home (circa 1170)

    With a Kochmann Reflex-Korelle of similar qualities (very outdated design that needs constant maintenance but in some ways an improvement over the future). With an adapted 30 mm f3.5 Zodiak-8 lens. On Foma Ortho 400. #reflexkorelle #kochmannreflexkorelle #zodiak8 #fomafilm #fomabohemia #fomaortho400

    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…
