what's the opposite of anticipation?
It’s passed midnight and I’m too pissed off to go to sleep. No, it’s not because of the little possum eating our bananas. It’s because 4 rolls of analog photographs that turned out like shit. I’m especially disappointed (and that’s and gross understatement) with the results from my rangefinder (the koni-omega). Bloody ff-in hell, this camera suffers badly from...

quite self-explanatory…
A little drawing of cross-section of a dam I built in a side-stream of a river.
to quote myself from a post of a mere 3 weeks ago:
“…, I claimed a little muddy side stream of the river and started building a (rather) massive dam. Little did I know this is not something that is allowed. I was so consumed by this activity I felt like I was 12 years old. I was dragging on massive ...

I have about 6 film rolls that are in the process of getting developed, as far as developing the negatives and scanning them goes.

My, once so massive, DSLR feels so compact after using all these medium format monsters. “Digital is practical, analog is...

One of the ‘Belco-cool-cats’ strolling through the neighbourhood, the clacking of the heels of his cowboy-boots resonating between the houses. Outside temperature: 34 degrees Celsius…

Holiday in the mind results in a break from production. Also my previous post/rant was rather depressing as well … I apologize. At the moment all is well, except for the summer holidays slowly but surely running out, such is life. I recently acquired a medium format rangefinder camera going by the name of Koni-Omega Rapid M here’s a link to a picture of this beast. Also I borrowed a...
Holidays, I can’t seem to handle it. Ever since playing with A’s old Mamiya camera I have been restless, profoundly sick of all images I have ever made. Analogue and medium format is all my mind is obsessing about. I hate being in this state. Precious holidays slip by, freaking me out even more. At the end of the tunnel there’s light, possibly a faint ass candle that will be...
