After this period

I’ve recovered, so I’m getting back to work. And tomorrow I might just pass by this street scene in #Brussels. Sometimes I think, it reminds me a bit of you

Flowers in the field and on her dress, it was clearly the same time of year as now.
and it was the same day as this one

I hope you don’t mind her bare back, because I refuse to label this as “unsafe.”
This photo was taken with a half-frame Olympus Pen EES-2.
They’re not all perfectly sharp, but that softness sometimes gives them a painterly quality.
After all, who wouldn’t want to paint a #model with soft light on her skin ?

I took a moment to scroll through the archive. #onfilm made with an #Olympus #Pen #halfframe. And back then, definitely with #Fujifilm 400 #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #halfframeclub #spring #flowers #sun #field #model

It’s that time of year for the poppies… This year, my ‘collection’ seemed to be blooming really late. No matter, they’re here and they make me happy !
I love my wild garden, and so do all the bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other little insects (and, of course, the birds too)

The photo isn’t recent, though, I think it’s from last year. Of course, my little half-frame camera must have a shot of this year’s poppies in it
(I’ll keep you posted ;)

Earlier today, I already introduced the family birthday queen :

But there’s someone else celebrating their birthday too!
Esli has appeared in my photo archive before.

She used to pop in front of the camera every now and then. But she now leads a busy life as a film director. It’s hard to catch up with her these days, as she’s usually in Japan. I hope she’s doing well, happy birthday !

fb is now asking me to repost this message from two years ago. No way – I’m not posting anything on fb anymore ( just my old dog’s birthday, tomorrow ;) Other than that, they’re not going to make any more money on my content.

And now for the photo... a diptych taken with an Olympus Pen that I’d bought and had repaired at the time. It didn’t stay in working order for long, having been let down by two people. (That was more about the camera.) The photo didn’t receive much attention from my work, nor from the theatre festival organisers.

Everyone has their own schedule and friends, of course

recently I had an exhibition featuring these analogue diptychs, and to be honest, most people don’t really understand the process involved in making them. When you explain it to them, they appreciate it more.

A photo made with one of my all-time favourites, the Olympus Pen EES-2 half-frame!
