I had to look it up... (I’m terrible at remembering names)
So this fountain in Brussels is a work of art by Pol Bury

Good for a test of my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s

Let's show a new collection of a film camera buy and test !

Years ago, I bought a Hi-Matic 7s.
Luckily for me, I was able to buy my collection of cameras before the analogue revival happened.
So I was able to buy loads of cameras for around 20 euros each .
It’s always nice to test something out with film ! I always had something to test with in my bag. You don’t actually need much to use a camera.
You’ve got your film, your subject, the aperture and your shutter speed.

Photography is also a memory. I once used this photo on Flickr and mentioned Grenoble.
Otherwise, I might have forgotten it already ???

Speaking of #Flickr ... My account was hugely successful there, but after a while I was hacked by the site itself. Saying the wrong thing to someone who runs the site was enough to trigger a nasty attack. So steer clear of sites like this !

To be honest, I’ve actually lost some of my passion for cars over the last two decades. Internal combustion engines are over a century old and are therefore, in fact, very outdated technology. Those in power would have us believe that polluting our own environment isn’t a big deal and that the consequences we face can be resolved as long as their oil and money taps keep flowing...

So my boss at the time had bought this classic car. It turned out to be a bad buy, as there was all sorts wrong with it. But it was a nice model to test the camera on ;)

#Arosa , apparently it’s a ski resort. I went there once and remember a lovely train (or was it a tram?) ride through the mountains. And I also remember walking back to #Chur with my colleague / friend Max (there must have been a theatre there). It was, to say the least, a tough walk. Not so much because of the distance, but because the paths suddenly became so slippery and we were wearing ordinary ‘walking shoes’. It was too far to turn back and actually quite dangerous in places.

Some mood lighting. Not exactly Tokyo, but it felt mildly appropriate for testing an old made-in-Japan film.

rosa / Chur

After a few hours of nothing but white, green and every shade of grey, you’re happy to find a bit of red ...

I think I took this photo because I had a " shutter button hunger " . Perhaps also because seeing all these sticks sorted by size gave me a sense of Swiss precision

How lovely, a red train against a white landscape. And always right on time. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Switzerland several times on tour with theatre productions. It’s a fantastic country, but actually maybe a little too expensive for my budget to use as a holiday destination.
I particularly love their respect for nature.
