Analogue Adventure – Going Darkroom
Some time ago, I (re-)started my analogue photography, using analogue black and white film, then developing it, finally scanning it. Since some months, I have re-started the darkroom part of the process as well. Using diverse enlargers in my photography club, 120 medium format and 135 standard film negatives come to life by using light…

Sony Cybershot RX100 VII
Why did I buy this (another) camera? Quite simple: I have returned – to some extend – to the world of analogue photography. Not to replace my digital workflow, but as a welcoming addition to what I am doing with my digital equipment. I simply love the process and the excitement of film development. There…

Wood Work
Some projects have a live of their own. They are neither intentional, nor have they been planned – they evolve from the body of work that one creates, show themselves as a pattern, and maybe one starts to see them. Sees I have been drawn to trees and groups of trees over and over again,…

Roma
Visiting Rome for the first time was quite a challenging experience. We were there just four days – and after these four days we had the streets in our bones and minds. That was a lot to see, to digest and to hear. Rome is a busy city. Busy with sound, busy with people, busy…

With a wide variety of what to shoot, one can plan something entirely different every day. Porlock and the Porlock Marshes Located…

Some Talk About Gear
Being in Ireland and finally having some more time to actually photograph more (pictures to follow once I have processed the RAW files) here some talk about gear (gear that I found particularly helpful). Being a landscape photographer, you sometimes have to walk some distance, so a fully fledged photography backpack might come in handy…

Paper
When it comes to printing, paper is essential. It helps the print to come alive. The selection of paper and it’s contribution to the print has significantly changed in the digital workflows. If I remember the darkroom era, it was pretty much limited to finish characteristics (glossy, pearl, mat), a little bit tonality (warm/cold), graduation,…

Some Thoughts on Generative AI
Artificial Intelligence has been and will continue to be a great topic for this decade and the decades to come. Machines learn how to create content that we perceive being of high – or lets say – adequate quality, much faster than any human being could create this content. The consequences are both frightening and…

An Analogue Adventure – Continued
Two rolls of Kodak Tri-X made it into my improvised darkroom. First attempt after more than 20 years, I was quite nervous to see if this will work out. It actually did. I almost couldn’t believe it that the rolls of film had pictures on it … From the negatives I created digital scans, using…
