Finally scanned those negatives……But last week I just felt like a break and decided that it was OK to fall a week behind. So lets head back to Montana and the Workshop: They did manage to get me up one early morning for a sunrise shoot at Van Lake. I was, however, not enamored with…
My seven year old and I have found our new daddy / daughter activity: roller skating. I took her for the first time a few weeks ago and now she loves it. We have gone a few times before I decided it was time to skate around with a camera. I play beer league ice…
Currently it is hot & sunny in the South of Germany. People are seeking for shady places in street cafe´s or go for a swim. We have that nice little lake nearby, surrounded by meadows and trees. People love it. There is a path leading all around the lake and it usually takes an hour…
This week I was asked my friend Jean Mouette if I could come and take photographs during a video interview he was making of astrophysicist Kumiko Kotera. Kumiko is a world expert on high energy cosmic rays and the video will appear on the Lagrange Institute website in the coming weeks. Kumiko explained very lucidly…
Earlier in the year, a friend of mine bought a Mamiya RB67. It was a strange choice given that his photography is usually fast-moving, spontaneous stuff, but like many of us, he identified the type of work he wanted to move towards and bought a camera suited to it. Having tried it, and frustrated by its size and…
I spent a week in Montana the middle of June at a B&W Photography/Printing workshop hosted at the Photographer’s Formulary, and led by Nathan McCreery. We focused on shooting and printing B&W film. We had gotten up just after sunrise to shoot at a nearby location called Swan Lake. After winding through a maze of…
Another week, another roll. And, another camera. One of the aims of the project for me, along with shooting more often and getting better at processing and scanning, was to use some of the cameras that have been taking things easy in cardboard boxes in the garage. Camera number 17 (and roll 48) is…
Trying to find the weakest link in the workflow-chain I took my reliable Canon EOS 30, loaded her with a brand new CHM 100 film and bought a new bottle of Adonal developer. The results came out better, indeed, than using outdated material. Seems like one has to have special skills to compensate the difficulties…
Hello there! We make a small break for an internal announcement. I’ve now created a Slack Team for 52rolls. The idea behind it is to have a private community for the members of this year’s project and all the alumni from the previous years. The community aspect of this site is what I enjoy the…
Hey y’all. Yesterday there was a pinhole meetup in Centralia, WA. Attending were Mr Bull, Jana, Monica, Todd, and Christian. I was shooting with Todd’s 3D printed stereo camera, an SLR with a roll I wanted to finish off, and a FED2 that Todd graciously gave me. (!!) After lunch, we rode a steam train,…
I have always had an affinity with Olympus cameras ever since school where I got to use my 1st proper camera an Olympus OM1. There is something about the look and feel of all the olympus family of cameras, I especially love my OM2 spot which is most probably my most used film camera. I have…
At my local camera shop, the owner recommended I play with Ilford SFX 200 film. Always up for a challenge I decided to give it a go. After doing a bit more research I found out that you can get near infrared results with this film using a red filter. I have had it in my…
