The film negatives I rediscovered a couple of days ago must have fallen into a bowl of salt and pepper- but I do love the pics anyway. Reminding me of a beautiful time with choreographer Anastasia Valsamaki and dancer Gavriela Antonopoulou in the Krama dance studio in Athens (May 2018), when they were developing and rehearsing their dance solo […]
When I first read about a new 35mm film called „Silbersalz35“ the idea seemed quite intriguing to me: a small German enterprise which used Kodak Vision 3 Motion Picture Film to pack it into normal film canisters. You can load your 35mm camera with it like you would do with a a normal consumer film […]
Ich wusste nicht, ob ich in diesen Corona Zeiten wirklich nach Athen reisen sollte. Aber dann wollte ich auf jeden Fall Gavi und Anastasia treffen, zwei Tänzerinnen, mit denen ich zusammen im nächsten Jahr ein Fotoprojekt auf der Insel Samothraki realisieren will. Also bin ich hin. Habe ein Hotel ziemlich genau in der Plaka gebucht. […]
Staying at our home in Northern Greece the feeling of summer has disappeared in the last few days. Dark Clouds are conquering more and more space of the sky. Still I am packing my backpack every day with my towel, swimming goggles, and a book (Hemingway’s short stories, to be precise). I walk a mall, […]
When we left the plane in Thessaloniki a couple of weeks ago we had to make a COVID 19 test. Luckily the result was negative, so we left for the Greek island of Samothraki 10 days later after staying at my sisters house. In my baggage: a Leica M6 with a 50mm Summarit 2.4 lens, […]
Sunday noon. We were alone in Kolumba (Cologne) one of the most beautiful museums, created by the famous Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. I brought my Leica M2 with me, together with a Summicron 35mm lens: Inside the camera: a rather cheap roll of Agfa APX 100. Sometimes I wonder, why still bother shooting film? But […]
Als die Warnungen vor dem Virus amtlich wurden, tat ich dasselbe wie fast jeder andere auch. In der Nachbarschaft spazieren. Die eigene Wohnung in Augenschein nehmen. Beides wie geschaffen dafür, meine alte Nikon Filmkamera aus der Tasche zu nehmen, um endlich die Filme zu verbrauchen, die seit langem schon Kühlschrank lagern. Und einen Versuch zu […]
When I looked out of my hotel window, sometimes I saw the tram. I also heard it quite often, lying awake in my bed at night, the Krymska street in front of the hotel silent except the occasional pleasant sound of the tram. I travelled a lot with the tram, it’s cheap and you get […]
The last few days in Prague. At first the museums and theatres closed. Then the cafes and restaurants. The railways transported fewer and fewer people who preferred to stay at home. Certainly also because it is no fun to go outside when you hear the sirens of ambulances or police cars more and more often. […]
It’s raining a lot on my first day in Prague. Pale light. People are passing by with washed out faces. As if all the warm colours are hiding behind the shop windows, where the real life retreats.
