The final photo in the series of the injured shoulder photographer...
A few weeks ago in Alsace, France. #Riquewihr

What a sharp pic with such a small, old film camera ( I didn't buy it I found it in a box of junk )
It's the smallest camera I own, the Yashica Electro35 MC

I think, looking at this photo, that I’m a bit further along in my rehabilitation and can already hold the viewfinder up to my eye !



So I’d tested it beforehand to see if I could actually operate it with my left hand.
It was also the first time I’d used colour film in my tiny little Yashica

The lab in #ghent I’ve been using all my life (and get very little credit for) has had its full-frame negative scanner break down. So I’m missing my proof that I don’t crop my photos… sorry about that !!


It’s an unbelievably small and charming little #camera… #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #film #yashicaelectro35 #colorfilm #kodakgold #kodak #hospital #surgery #lefthand #bandage #alsace #france #analogphotography

Last year we were in Korea, and a few weeks ago in Alsace, France... And what do you get when you’re unexpectedly upgraded to the hotel’s penthouse rooms ? A touch of oriental style !

After visiting the M HKA and FOMU, I was walking through the South Park in Antwerp when I was approached in a friendly manner by two young girls who were roller-skating. They asked me what time it was. And although this might be a very ordinary experience, I found it quite remarkable. There is kindness and trust towards a man who is old to them, and they themselves aren’t walking around with a mobile phone that they’re constantly staring at.

I do still strike up conversations with strangers from time to time, but I feel it’s a bit harder than it used to be

In this photo, you can probably see most clearly that it is part of:

Whenever I end up in Antwerp, I usually visit a few museums
And at the M HKA — Museum of Contemporary Art, there’s always something interesting to see...
A previous time I didn't have a shoulder problem and was able to work with a “better” camera .. https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/818596879479935885

Now I'm surprised by the results from my little Yashica ! But you can tell from the details that I wasn't quite able to frame it properly yet.

Anyway, the exhibition was interesting, but the video of the performance was especially impressive. Maybe you can find something online about :

left-handed photography

First and foremost, I really miss the film negative borders on my photos, it’s a shame !

And now we can talk about the patterns that repeat themselves in life...

Of course, we find ourselves back in the same places time and again in life, because we enjoy being there, for example. Because we just can’t help ourselves! I’d tried to take this photo before https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/875611795484792730 because it’s a place where all the fishermen who have lost their lives at sea are honoured and remembered.
And there is also this artwork by Mark Macken, Vissersdroom ‘Fisherman's Dream’
