Single shot!
Shanghai – Old town
Shot in Shanghai during summer of 2008, while wandering the old part of town with Ying (one can check her nice work on flickr) and the Precious… All rolls from that trip were dutifully souped in standing rodinal when back home, some one month after.
The night
It is no secret that I am a big fan of Michael Ackerman‘s work… Well, enough said, right? … Taken in the Copenhagen nights of June 2011, during the days of the photo festival, with an Olympus OM2-MD, at night, yes. It was souped in rodinal, standing dev., blabla…

Shot in Daejeon, South Korea, somewhen at night while stumbling from shady bar to shady bar, fuelled with soju or some other substance (I didn’t know about magkali at that time, fortunately or not) and trying to get back to the hotel …
An old man in Tripoli, Lebanon
This old man is probably repairing a kettle of some sort (actually not, see comments). He was doing it out of a small shop — barely a closet in the wall, to be fair — and was kind enough to let me take his portrait. I like his stare, very profound and serene. I like [...]
With the BOP master of abandoned buildings
That’s a shot from the archive, during the fled/escape from Denmark to my den in southern France. I met with BOP member Arnaud Thurel (aka Th) and he took me around Grenoble, France for a ride in his evergoing quest for abandoned buildings/factories… This was shot with The Precious, i.e. the amazing Olympus PenF and [...]
He was playing for his soon-to-be-born kid
The title says it all… Good luck with that new life in front of you man. This has been taken with an Olympus OM2-MD and a 35mm 2.8 lens, I am not very used to the 35mm, me being more of a 50mm guy. Learning, i.e. need to get closer.
The streets of San Francisco, at night
It could have been at the end of the 20s or the 50s… Taken in a side street of the Mission district, at night then, with the Olympus OM2-MD. The film is your typical Ilford HP5+ (developed by my new local lab, as I still have to set my bathroom-type Rodinal standing souping facility) One [...]
Wine and fire
No song but still missing the woman… (This being a reference to an album by Porn aka Men of Porn, website here. I strongly recommend listening to the album.) This was shot during what will be known as The Night of the Boar Burger from now on. And I was indeed missing the woman, dearly.
Phone
Shot in Bankeråt, Copenhagen, Denmark probably one night of drinking, I sort of remember it was during December 2010. The film is the magnificent Scala black & white slide, surely here shot at 1600iso or something approaching …
I’ve lost the horizon again …
Shot in Hongdo island, somewhere in the south west of South Korea. A tiny island with friendly fishermen and good seafood. I like the way the horizon disappears, maybe it was not even there in the first place …
