It's Sunday night, I just developed two rolls of Foma 120 film in Rodinal, saw that the tripod handle is on half of the frames, started to feel stupid for the mistakes I make, took it as fitting for this day, as a record, a memory of this day I had, made myself a cup … Continue reading KEEPERS 03/20
An idea came to me, that if by photographing a scene, we create something that wasn't there before, using the shapes and shades, the point of view is like molding the clay of a sculpture and the glass with all its characteristics is the paintbrush to paint the scene with. I am yet to come … Continue reading Xenar, Tessar, Xenon, Helios and Nikkor 50s showdown
Welcome to KEEPERS 10/20. Last month I only went for a walk in the city once, to the post office when my new Mamiya Six arrived from Japan. On the way I tested the Super Ikonta 4.5x6 I adjusted for better infinity focus but now it seems the focus is all over the place. I … Continue reading KEEPERS 10/20

Now I'd like to explore … Continue reading My thoughts on Mariô by Criolo

I've been struggling with dark thoughts in the middle of the night and an image of me taking a single photo … Continue reading KEEPERS 05/2020
August for me was a month of trying to grasp the fading summer and trying to keep it from leaving, like trying to hold water in the palm of my hand, you can somewhat manage it but soon your hands are dry. The Covid pandemic has also taken it's toll on me and some of … Continue reading KEEPERS 8/20
First back issue of KEEPERS. As we go further back into the start of the year, the topic of coronavirus finds itself inevitable. I was surprised how quickly masks became a statement, people either wearing them or despising them and the type of mask people wear, it became like a piece of clothing. It was … Continue reading KEEPERS 6/2020
This will be the first edition of a webzine that I had the idea for since earlier this year, wanted it to be a monthly endeavor and always put it off for the next month. I'm now planning to do back issues, maybe to the beginning of the year. The basic idea behind KEEPERS is … Continue reading KEEPERS 7/20
