Life and such.

Life has been pretty sweet lately. Studying a bit, working a lot, doing some photographyprojects, trying to find a place in Amsterdam, trying to figure out where to go this Summer… Riga? Kraków? Budapest? London?

And of course hanging out with my friends a lot. Olympus XA with Superia800.

Going to gigs.

Partying.

And sometimes I get asked for an assigment. Recently some literature events. Shot digitally. Oh my!

Herman Koch.

Oh by the way, have you made a muxtape yet? If so, hook me up! You can find mine here.

Just a small entry to let you know I’m still alive and kicking. Next entry will be what you’re used to: loads of b/w frames.

Thanks for dropping by. Hope all is well!

Crap Kraft Dinner.

I have been looking for a nice little pocketcamera for a while now and, after chatting with Jamie, I looked into the Olympus XA. A compact rangefinder from 1979 with 35/2.8 Zuiko lens, aperture priority, screw-on flash and the size of a pack of cigs. Sounded perfect, so I purchased one (in a great condition) for only €30,-.

And I must say I like it. The only thing I noticed so far is that it’s hard to read the shutterspeeds, but that’s no biggie since it’s aperture priority and I can guestimate good enough by now if we’re still in the “safe zone” (i.e. above 1/30th). Apart from that, I can always just flash the hell out of my subjects.

I guess it’s my new “no excuse to not have a camera with me” camera.
