Some photos from the past months – shot with the Olympus XA on Superia400.
NYE
Hanging out on Myrna’s balcony.
There’s an occasional lightleak, but I changed the foam already (and messed up another part in the process… Woops).
JD’s face in the bg cracks me up every time.
A short visit to the countryside.
A visit from Miek at my place.
And from Myrna.
Dinner at Tess’ in Nijmegen.
Goodbye party of my lovely ex-flatmate Ladina.
Making a model with Jo & Zeyn for our shitty CTP project.
JD & Miek at my place.
Very random and anachronistic entry, but if you’re a regular you might be used to that by now.
At a very crappy exhibition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
With Tess on our way from Rotterdam to Nijmegen, after a great night out in Amsterdam.
And the getting ready with Miek for another night out in Nijmegen.
And now for some older stuff from last Summer that I found while archiving
(if you can call putting prints in shoeboxes that…)
APX400.
Zeynep, with long hair still.
Summerfestivities in Nijmegen.
Superia400 again.
Our trip to Budapest, last Summer.
I really love those random middle of nowhere pitstops.
That’s it for now. Thanks for dropping by!
Next entry will be the rolls I shot in Sheffield.
Have a good night!
Daily Life
March 6, 2009
It’s been a while and I have nothing to show really. Internship and some study obligations are keeping me quite occupied. Life’s good though. A lot going on, a lot on my mind.
I plan to graduate my Masters in 6 months, which feels like the end of an era is approaching. And ever since I started blogging I haven’t been keeping up with my photo albums as religiously as I used to. These factors combined (and flipping through some biographical photobooks this morning) make me want to put together a photo book of the past 5 years. And I think I will do that. It’s a good way of regaining the physicality of photography that I miss a bit since I started digitalizing/blogging/shooting digital and stopped putting prints in photo albums.
I think this post should be categorized under “note to self” :)
On another note: one roll of film in the XA is waiting to be finished, another already finished one is waiting to get to the lab. This blog will be updated with some photos again at some point.
More Than Real
January 7, 2009
Hello all, so we made it into another year. Kudos. Time for some action. Or… photographs.
Finally scanned some rolls I had lying around that I shot with the Olympus XA the past months. Was a nice break from the digital frames that seem to be piling up. Also, I need to calibrate my screen – any shareware to recommend for that? Not too fond of the automatic calibration tool Mac provides.
Ok, enough talking. I promised some action.
APX400 with the XA.
Hanging out on the streets of Amsterdam before heading to a party. Back in September
Australian joined.
Back home in Rotterdam.
At the academy – I have no clue who took it. Probably Paul :)
This is turning out be a very anachronistic entry, I don’t really know in what order to show them – it’s all spread out over a couple of months.
Having a smoke on the balcony.
I still very much enjoy photographing this girl. Gonna miss her when she’s going to the UK for a couple of months.
And some more balcony action at night.
Morning after Bon Iver concert.
It’s not like I’ve got no other camera’s to photograph with when you’re holding one of them.
Familyday.
Very very boring guide.
Woah, those are the only two frames I took that day. I’m so much more selective when shooting film, especially with the XA. Nice for a change.
Some Superia 400 shots. After the concert of Le Loup in Nijmegen (which was freaking amazing).
We ran into Dennis. Nice surprise! That’s the fun of being back there.
We were slightly intoxicated by that time. And fell of the bike. That’s when we heard an alarm going off somewhere, so we went to check that out. After shaking off “helpful” guys.
We got home. And yeah, it was a great night. I think some of the b/w photos are actually from the morning after that. Ah, idno.
Some frames from the busride to Paris in November.
I can’t really say I enjoy busrides, but I love those little pitstops in the middle of fucking nowhere along the road.
Hanging out in Paris, photographing…
… trying to find the way.
And having a drink with Vincent & friends.
Back in the Netherlands and some digital frames from when M&M came to stay a weekend at my place.
We hung out on the beach. Which was freaking cold, but so nice.
I have a whole range of photos like the next one, just screaming to be turned into a .gif!
Perfect place to be converted? Wtf!
Back home.
At the end of December I got asked to shoot a party in Amsterdam. Which was awesome. Rented a speedlite, got paid, free booze, great music, wicked people… Awesome.
“Real dancers go that way.” (To another part of the club that just opened)
They asked for a photo and posed like this:
I swear! I’m not THAT a perv!
NYE:
Just hanging out at my place. Good times :)
We climbed the rooftop to watch the fireworks.
Next morning.
That’s it for now! Happy New Year and all that jazz!
