I think I came up with a title and forgot it again.

Had a tough printingsession today. I’m trying to catch up with all I shot this summer and lots of it is underexposed due to my Canonet and/or me being slightly intoxicated.
Starting out with some photos of Joost. On our way back from Prague, early August. We bought some vodka for a friend, but unfortunately it didn’t make the way back entirely…
Here he’s expressing a gesture we’ve seen a lot of baby Jesus sculptures do in Prague. It’s a sign of… rhetorizing? Apx100, Minolta SRT-101, 50/1.7.
Neopan400.
Myrna in this really great jazzpub in Antwerp, of which I forgot the name ofcourse. I think I wrote it down in my agenda somewhere though. Good beer, good music, good times. Really love the deep blacks here. I still prefer such stuff over high key stuff. Neopan400 again (with the Canonet this time).
Today I managed to print some photos I already convicted ‘unprintable’. It’s hard to get some nice blacks and still have some decent tones, when underexposed so horribly. Some advice would be gladly taken! Apx100 with the Canonet, late August.
I bet you recognize this place from some portraits of Bernhard and Michael.
That’s it again for now. Can’t wait to get to some decent negatives and photographs again; lots of shitty touristy shots, haha.
Antwerp
October 18, 2006
In August I went to Antwerp with Myrna, to prove that you don’t have to go far to be really away (Antwerp is a couple of hours by train from my hometown)
We visited a lot of secondhanded stores. Which are supposed to be cheap, but they weren’t. Oh wait… I guess that it’s called ‘vintage’ then.
Saw some really nice retro sneakers for like €30 or so I thought, it turned out that they were €300.
Stupid non aligned Canonet.
Random
One of my favourite movies!
We went to the photomuseum
And everyday to this bakery where they had the most delicious and cheap sandwiches
Which we ate down by the river
With a cig afterwards to complete it
Stupid Canonet!
So ehrm… Hope you like this little journeydiary. I was really happy with the feedback on my first post, thanks so much for it. We will see how it goes from here, hope you stay that interested.
Photos of Paris to be collected tomorrow, the colour ones that is. I hope to get the b/w’s developed this weekend. Am excited about it, I was happy to be shooting with my trusty Minolta again! Some Bernhardphotos might come up here too at some point. I’m lagging terribly behind though with developing and printing, but there are exams coming up and I tend to get into the darkroom then, hehe.
Anywho, thanks again, hope you have a good night!
