COMPACT DIARY 4

4 Kodak Pro Photo 100 films, shots with the my trusty compact camera, a Pentax PC35AF, between June & July, and developed at home using Tetenal’s Colortec :) urban jungle at the Pedion tou Areos: Doom (Jim): Harry:   Eirini’s surprise party: Lee: The sky was a strange color that day, but not THAT strange! […]

Urbanité

As usual, I was waiting to shoot at least 5-6 B&W films before mixing a fresh batch of XTOL to develop them. So, some of the photos are recent and others were shot sometime in the past 2-3 months, even dating back to the quarantine in spring. Enjoy :) 2 x Ilford HP5 pushed to […]

Quarantine Home Cookin’

I and @marta.alonsoo had shot about 12 color rolls before the Corona-Quarantine, including a huge weekend photoshoot with Nastia, and since we couldn’t take them or send them to any lab for development, we decided to finally get into developing C41 at home. I have been developing black and white myself for more than a decade, […]

Thankful for black and white :)

Indeed I am. Since our collective self-imposed quarantine has started, I haven’t been able to take or send my color films out for development. It’s going to be ages before I see those photos now.. Hopefully everyone’s doing all right out there, staying safe and not getting too much cabin fever from all the social […]

Catching up to the present any minute now

Just developed the last remaining black and white films from last year. Two of them were Ilford PANF 50, shot with the M7, and I just read on the Ilford website that you’re supposed to develop them right away (or at the max after three months). This makes a lot of sense looking at the […]

4 black and whites, finally

I FINALLY developed my first black and whites in the new apartment :) 1 Ilford Delta 100 & 3 Kodak T-max 400. The Ilford was developed in HC-110 (dilution H), but I wasn’t very happy with the results (I think my HC-110 is going bad, if that’s even possible). The 3 T-max were developed in […]

Compact Diary 3

It’s been a tumultuous few months. In September 2019, we began the process of moving from the island of Leros to our new apartment in Athens. Logistically, it was quite a difficult process (with 4 cats on top of everything), because the apartment in Athens required major renovations that, in the end, took approximately two […]

Neon Motel Photoshoot

I’ve been very excited to use my recently acquired flash gels on color film. This motel shoot was the perfect opportunity. I think they came out great :) Shot with the M7 and the SF-20 Flash. Part of the new series: NEON MOTEL Roll 1: Kodak Portra 160 & a leftover shot with a Delta […]
