outtakes

the last few weeks have been a real whirlwind; i've hardly taken any photos.
so for today it's only some outtakes from my first bronica roll,
full of imperfections, scratches, mystery white fluff and all.
i hope you'll bear with me.

have a good start to the new week!

p.s.: i think i may have a bit of a crush on that fuji reala 100,
the tones are almost like slide.

blooms

my mother always has fresh flowers in her house,
my grandmothers and great-grandparents had beautiful gardens,
and i just can't help myself - i always have to treat myself to some blooms.
home isn't complete without them.

and a little bit of colour, too. double-exposure, you happy accident.

art watching (III)

i've got the bronica back from the camera repair place, and the first roll of black and white film too. very excited to shoot more with this new camera, it's like starting from scratch all over.

i like the theatrical quality of the second (very dark) shot. methinks, finding out which b/w film to use in which light conditions will be a bit of a challenge. do you have any particular black-and-white favourites, both for indoors and outdoors? film talk aside, i've been happy to hear from you over the past few weeks, keep leaving me a little thought, or perhaps just a little hello if you feel like it!
