In week 45 I visited the city of Breda, which has a very lovely old center. The main reason for the visit was a family get together with some female family members. We had lunch, wine, snacks, more wine, dinner and, yes, wine. In between restaurant visits we walked around a bit and I snapped…
This location had been on my “I want to photograph this” list for a long time. I have a dad who’s very interested in WWI and WWII. When we were on holiday when I was a kid, he’d always take us to see monuments, military cemeteries and other stuff that’s related to WWI and WWII…
Recently a new market hall opened in my home town Rotterdam. It took quite some time to build it, and when it opened many people wanted to take a look. Because it would be very busy the first weeks, I decided to wait a bit before I’d take a peek, and week 43 was the…
Week 42 was the week of World Toy Camera Day. As a fan of toy cameras, I had to participate. I took my Diana F+ loaded with Fomapan 200 and my Holga 120GN loaded with Agfa CR200 on a walk in Rotterdam. The weather was lovely, and I wanted to explore some new territory. I…
In week 41 my husband and I had planned a trip to some of the forts of the Hollandse Waterlinie, a defence line. The first forts were built between 1816 and 1824. I had taken my Reality So Subtle 4×5 pinhole camera and some Fomapan 100 sheets, because I thought it might be an interesting…
Film swap between Moni and me I didn’t take any pictures in week 39, so no post from that week. Week 40 was a fun photo week, but with a bad ending. Monica set up a Pinholga film swap project, and I was the first one to receive the Holga 120PC pinhole camera. She had…
In my earlier posts about my holiday in Ireland I told you how my photo mojo went missing. The holiday was great, and I took some beautiful pictures, but it also marked the start of a period of fails. Week 38 was a step further down the spiral….. I had taken my LC-A+ loaded with…
We ended our trip through Ireland with a short stay with our friends in Dublin. They showed us a little bit of the city (Temple Bar, the Botanic Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery and Howth). We also went to Trim and Bective Abbey, which were absolutely lovely locations. Ireland was so much fun and so beautiful…
Week 36 saw us still touring through Ireland. We had made our way to the southcoast, and visited Charles Fort, several beach towns and the Ring of Kerry. Something odd happened at Charles Fort: first the back of my pinhole camera fell off mid-roll, and then my Olympus OM-2 suddenly stopped working. Since then my…
We went on holiday to Ireland in week 35. Normally my husband and I go on city trips, but this time we wanted to do things differently. We had only booked a plane ticket, and we had arranged with friends in Dublin we’d crash at their place the first night. They offered us their car…
In week 34 I visited the Rotterdam Swan Market. Rotterdam has been a boring city for quite a few years, but lately people are organising all kinds of fun and interesting things, such as this Swan Market. It’s a place where people can sell homemade food, cakes, clothing and all kinds of other stuff. There…
In week 33 I tried out a 110 film camera a friend gave me a while ago. She had a Kodak Pocket Instamatic 300 that she didn’t use. I put some expired Fuji Superia 200 in it, and took it with me on a walk in Rotterdam. Because it’s very small, the camera is easy…
