Dit jaar zijn we weer naar Kroatië gegaan, en hebben we een heel aantal bol-panorama’s geschoten. Daarnaast ook een hoop zwart-wit foto’s met mijn Hasselblad 500 C/M. Hier onder vind je er alvast twee, de rest moet ik nog afdrukken en scannen.
These are the first photos I’ve taken with my Hasselblad 500 C/M. I was actually planning of shooting in black & white mostly, but since I had some unused colour film in my fridge I thought it would be a good idea to practice with that.
One of my favourite photographers, Stephan Vanfleteren, seems to shoot Kodak T-Max 400 film (the film is labeled Kodak 400TMY as you can see in some of his portraits). I wanted to give the film a try too, so I met up with my friend and willing subject Matthijs for a Sunday morning photoshoot in the park.
The campus of Utrecht University has a small field with sheep, and today I got up close and personal. One of the big sheep was even tame enough to let me stroke and pat it!
Marit and I had a long, very romantic weekend in Paris a few weeks ago. Photo-wise all I took with me was my Chinon CS, two lenses (50mm f/1.7 and 28mm f/2.
One of my photographic heroes, Joe McNally, wrote a blog post looking back 20 years at National Geographic. He also has a video from back in 1992 about the process of National Geographic, from the photograph via editing, more editing, and then finally to print.
A week ago my friend Janet asked for a photographer on Facebook. The next day she stood in front of me, modeling outdoors in Amsterdam. I had packed all kind of gear - digital camera, flashes, light stands, umbrella, reflectors, analogue camera, the whole shebang.

The video below is a 23-minute documentary by Ben Lewis, about the German photographer Andreas Gursky.
This weekend I got a lot of dark room supplies from friends (thanks Ton & Q!). Monday I bought the necessary liquids, and yesterday I developed my very first photo. As soon as I saw the photo appear on the paper I fell in love with the process.
Here’s this year’s joke: summer. It’s like last spring was confused and acted all summery, and summer, autumn and winter all think they’re autumn.
Still makes for good photos though ;-)
