Time’s been moving slow. Sometimes even backwards. Took me two months to gather up enough color rolls to develop. So now, it’s Xmas again. Back and forth we go. Till we meet again, here’s some photos. ╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲ «Οι μοιραίοι»: 𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁 𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁 𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁 Russian camera witchcraft: New Year’s Eve: 𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁𐄙𐄁 Working gal: Me, inside the house: […]

Soviet and Japanese M42 lens shootout. A quarantine experiment.
THE BACKGROUND I haven’t shot my Pentax rig in years. That’s because there was a mirror lock-up problem on both my Pentax bodies (SP 500 and ES), which was really annoying, so both bodies stayed in a cupboard, collecting dust for years, along with my collection of M42-mount lenses. This Friday, since I had some […]

Summer to Fall
Developing color film at home is great, but it takes quite a while to gather at least 10-12 films for the entire, 1lt, developer batch. So, here are some photos spanning from August to October: ! CAUTION: LONG POST ! (2x) Kodak Portra 160 Agia Marina: loved this view from the house, and took a […]
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
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 […]
