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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Syros, Part 2: color

The color films from our Easter trip are finally back from the lab (took forever because of the two slide films at the end of the post, which were worth it). Here are the photos :) – WARNING – LONG POST (10 rolls in total) – Roll 1: Kodak Portra 400 (mostly from the ferry […]

Syros, Part 1: black and white

This Easter, we visited the island of Syros for a truly relaxing holiday in Ermoupoli. This was my first holiday with the M7 and, in the 8 days of the trip, I ended up shooting about 15 rolls of both color and black and white film. The color films are not yet back from the […]
