DIY-esque
Late at night and I am here typing away some thoughts.
Scrolling down to the last visible entries I could see, I realized it's been over a year since I wrote all those things.
I guess the hard part is to keep certain devils at bay, and align thoughts and strategy to pursue desires.
I'm thinking "nothing" never felt better.
Here's a shot from last November:
Voladores de Papantla shot on the m6 + 35lux@f16 + Tri-X. Xtol 9 min@ 20C.
I'm still unsure what's more my style... Tri-X looks lovely here and there, but I feel I've got a lot more experience developing Delta 400 at home. The developer? X-tol ALWAYS - that will not change in the foreseeable future.
Recently acquired some fine tanks to develop even more film at home - I already had one, but it was a really crappy one. German camera, German glass, German developing tank.... I think there's a nice trend there. Onto less gear talk... there are several forums for that... I'll digress.
Cheers from the land where time flies so fast you can't change fast enough to keep up with it.
Hope life catches you well.

I don't have much to say today.
Here's a portrait I really liked of my friend Martin:
Awesome guy in so many levels.
Portra 400VC is definitely one of my favorite films on the m6.
Hope life catches you well...

Everyday
Life as it happens.
As it brings joys and tears. As it gives you all, then nothing.
I drove a bit across the border looking for something that's been missing for a while.
Not inly did I find it, but I had an awesome time while at it. Small details of things that will soon be long forgotten.
The temporal void where I am makes me think of photography not only as a hobby, but as work. For good or evil the lovely L-word engraved on the camera can only be considered serious if the client (or studio owner) knows about photography.
In any case, time will tell.
Open doors, or doors to open.
Hope life catches you well...
