Stepladder

This one is from 2009 already, but it somehow fits with what I'm currently shooting.

Bag

No comment.

Projections

Another view out of a train window. What I like here is how the cabin's interior is "projected" onto the lake.

Sailing boats

More color. And like yesterday's picture, this is actually old stuff. What makes it "new" is the post-processing treatment I applied after ignoring these photos for quite some time.

Through

I think it might be a distant relative of this one.

Acela

In an effort to get rid of some of my cameras (not that I have that many, mind you), I sold the Ricoh some days ago. And in a subsequent bout of nostalgia I went through the photos I took with this camera to see if there had been some I didn't do justice to. Here's one I found and I'll probably add a few more in the next weeks.

This one was taken looking out of the window of the Acela somewhere between Boston and New York in 2009.

Tree

A very simple picture that I took more than two years ago and almost forgot. It recently began to grow on me, though, if you allow the pun.

Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA.

Yogurt

I'm unearthing a couple of older color photos quite some time after I stopped taking them. Maybe I'll try again one day.

Karaoke

A photo that I only began to be really interested in and work on more than a year after I took it - although I had it at least earmarked back then. This seems to contradict what I once said about digital photography, but of course it doesn't. With enough discipline, digital photography can certainly "feel" like film photography.

Planes

Shot in close proximity to one I've shown more than a year ago. And it's again a color photograph of a look into a shop window.

Except for adding a bit of saturation, this photo wasn't modified in any way.

Raindrops

In the loggia behind our kitchen on a dark and rainy day last year.

Go there

Yes, yes, another arrow. December 2009 at Bahnhof Altona. From the, cough, single roll of film I shot with the XA so far.

Direction

Taken in Hamburg last year. I seem to like arrows.

Mailbox

Long time, no color... Well, here's one again, taken in Genoa in 2009. This is a picture that I sometimes like while at other times I think it is boring. Today, I obviously like it.

Another arrow, another parking garage

Picking up the arrow in parking garage motif, here's one from December 23 (my birthday), 2009 - taken at the Bahnhof Altona. The photo was cropped a bit.

The M4-P with the 35mm Summicron, Tri-X in Diafine.

Pavement

January 31, 2009 in Cambridge.

M4-P, BW400CN.

By the way, I already mentioned Geoff Dyer who wrote a whole book about the idea that photos tend to "reappear" over and over again. I read a book last night and came across André Kertész' Lost Cloud photo which I had probably seen before several times. But yesterday was the first time I realized that I had aped this photo more than half a century later.

Elbe

At the Elbe river on New Year's Eve 2009.

M4-P, 35mm Summicron, Tri-X, Diafine.

Office view

After a longer break, this is part no. 7 of the window mini series. The view (obviously in winter) out of an office I used to work in when I was in Cambridge in November 2009.

The M4-P with XP2.

Escalator

In Hamburg's Bahnhof Altona on December 17, 2009.

The XA loaded with Tri-X which was developed in Fomadon Excel.

Reflections

This is from the short phase when I was seriously experimenting with color photography. At the time when I took the photo, I thought it was great. A few months later I didn't care much about it. Today, I played a bit with the saturation and the tone curve and I now think it's quite OK although certainly not a masterpiece. Ask me again in summer.

Taken near Boston's South Station on July 12, 2009 with the M8.2 and the 35mm Summicron at ISO 160.
