Personal Circumstances

It’s been a while since I put out a series, and it has been a long time since I looked at 35mm film. I have to say, that from time to time I silently enjoy looking at my own pictures, especially when some time has passed since I took them. This is a good thing, I hope.

So while this is old material, taken in the course of last year, I have to confess that I really enjoy the directness of those photos. If large format has shown me anything then it is the appreciation of spontaneity. I have taken out the Leica last weekend and to my own surprise, ended up shooting almost two rolls without actually having had the intention. Which was a nice feeling.

With work giving me very little time indeed to do my photography, things are moving a lot slower right now. Those rolls, and some others, have not even been developed yet. But if large format has taught me anything, then it is to take your time and stop chasing after it.
