Snow Roll & Iron Pyrite study

just a humble Tmax 400 roll that I just developed with a fresh batch of XTOL, including some photos from the latest snow in Athens and a light study of an iron pyrite stone. Iron Pyrite light study: plus a bonus airplant shot to finish the roll: (:

SMS (Code 2) or (Code 6)

In Greece, due to COVID, a 24-hour restriction on movement has been imposed, with exceptions. Outside movement is allowed only for specific reasons and by sending an SMS to the five-digit mobile phone service 13033. SMS (Code 2) is for going to the supermarket if it is not possible for groceries to be delivered. SMS (Code […]

snow

Shot almost an entire roll of HP5 during the heavy snow in Athens in February and managed to mess up most frames with my finger in front of the lens, because I  was wearing giant gloves 😂😀😂 like so: I did learn a valuable lesson about the combination of heavy gloves and compact cameras :). I […]

August hangs + Street

Various shots from here and there around Athens in August, shot on Kentmere 400 (pushed to 1600), Kentmere 100 and Delta 100. I’ve picked out the street shots from all 3 films and added them to a “Street” section in the end :)   Love this long exposure from the concert of the Kalogerakis Bros […]

Urbanité

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 […]

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 […]

Rolleiflex and other black and whites

Lately, I’ve been working on my darkroom and scanning workflow, trying out chemicals etc. I think it’s been paying off, and I’m excited to keep shooting film again. Here are the Rolleiflex shots first: some nikon F3, with the precious Voigtlander 20mm: and, of course, the adorable Lomo sprocket rocket (very very decent lens!):
