Photography is history; you press the shutter button and the moment is already gone forever.
This image, too, no longer exists: the blue sheep are gone, the field has been divided into plots, and the house in the background has disappeared behind new blocks of flats. The washing is dry.
Time to wrap up this episode and the test with the Werra 2.

I found this Werra 2 in a vintage camera shop in Brno when we were traveling there a few years ago. I immediately saw the challenge in taking some holiday photos with it. It's a bit of a strange device, but once you get the hang of it, it's great fun. And sharp glass !
A test and a collection : https://pixelfed.social/c/937982565916157575

Suddenly you’re back home and there’s still some film left in the camera...

And in the summer, I love to head to the best spot in our village
as you can see in this collection

“Church Interior, Ghent” — Angled light falls across a wall inside a church in Ghent, Belbium.

I have a somewhat embarrassing confession to make about this photograph. I know that I made it in a church in the Belgium town of Ghent… but I failed to record which church it was! In my (weak) defense, this is a town of many churches — I don’t think I’ve seen many others with so many steeples. And after a few weeks of visiting Various European cities it is possible that I was starting to suffer from an overdose of church architecture…more: https://gdanmitchell.com/2026/03/15/church-interior-ghent/

(Update: I have been informed — thanks, Patty! — that this is Sint-Michielskerk. Otherwise known as Saint Michael’s Church. )

The subject : the Olympus Trip 35 !

Today, the last photos with the Olympus Trip 35... I'm finishing with three photos in one day. Two recent "test" photos taken during theatre performances and one photo from the archive. I recently had this one printed in A2 format and I'm looking forward to an exhibition in our village. The on-stage photos were taken with the aperture set to 5.6 and the distance estimated, of course.


I’m not someone who just shoots away indiscriminately,
film is precisely there to make you think about an image, not to burn through rolls of emulsion.
