Just over the Slovenian border in Croatia lies an outcrop of land overlooking the Gulf of Triest. What was once a small fishing village is now a dried out sleepy tourist area with a beautiful rocky shoreline and when the light is right, azure waters…
Venice is a city of contrasts. People loath it, people love it. It's choked with tourists and grumpy Venetians, there are lonely hidden corners and fantastic food. And sometimes an acqua alta…
It's been a long time since I shot with the Flexaret, a Czech made twin lens reflex camera I picked up for a few bucks a few years ago. The only roll of colour film I had when we decided spontaneously to go for a hike was a very expired (2009) Fuji…
A road trip: Nashville, Memphis, Clarksdale, Jackson, New Orleans, Lafayette, Austin, Ft. Worth, Houston. Following the old and scratchy sounds, the slick and raw, the high and lonesome, the soul - down an often dusty and lonesome highway. Past neglect…
Thirteen years ago I visited Nashville for the first time. I'd picked up the banjo a few years earlier…
I bought a Hasselblad 500CM on my recent trip to Australia, but managed in a moment of jet-lag and stress to load the film wrong. It's kind of backwards compared to loading a TLR. And then managed to load the next two rolls the same way. Rookie error…
In early December, before it got too cold, Julia and I took a Sunday walk in the wine country in Südsteiermark. In addition to my Holga (see a previous) I brought along the Flexaret TLR and tried out some colour film. I'm somewhat disappointed by the…
Just before Christmas my show opened at Culture Exchange, Graz. I'm sharing the space with Pflanze mit Hut and the work is all new analog photography, hand printed gelatin silver photographs and polaroids.
Experimenting with sprocket hole photography on a Holga 120 with 35mm Film. I taped up the back and window pretty well, but got a red light leak on every frame. I'm thinking it's internal reflections and will try next time with the inside taped up as
We sometimes visit Julia's mother in Stegersbach in Burgenland, Austria. She is fond of walking of an afternoon and we usually go with her. There's always something to photograph as the seasons change. I love the swirly bokeh the Flexaret renders .
The Flexaret was produced between 1939 and 1970 in…
I got two rolls of very old film when I bought some OM gear recently. So I decided to run a roll through my Yaschika Electro 35, a late 60's rangefinder with a fast f1.7 Lens. The film was a 12 shot Fujicolor Super HRII iso 100 and expired in 1991. The…
This is the test roll I shot with the Soviet made Kiev 4, a Soviet copy of the Contax III and was made in Kiev, Ukraine from 1957 until 1980. Supposedly over a million of these cameras were produced and they are certainly not hard to come by here in…
This is the city of mazes. You may set off from the same place to the same place every day and never go by the same route. - Jeanette Winterson…
I spent the last two weekends hiking the Rote Wand and the Hochschwab with my Olympus O2Mn and three primes (28mm, 50mm, 135mm). The weather was not kind on either weekend. I was hoping for some beautiful dramatic skies but was only gifted with rain and…
That's me. In the Hat. In 2005, just barely old enough to drink in US, I took off for a few months to roam around the US with a backpack, a copy of Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams, Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch and a 35mm Olympus RC camera. I was…
