2025

My 5th year on Flickr is starting. I'm really excited to see what it brings. I've now gained some experience in large format photography and would like to expand the area. I really enjoy working with my Shen Hao 4x5 - a wonderful camera. My Graflex Speed Graphic was almost forgotten last year - but I have a lot ahead of me with it. Together with an Aero Ektar lens, I want to take more photos of people. Photographing strangers is a big challenge for me. I have to learn to leave my comfort zone. I'm excited to see if I can do it.

 

History

I've actually been taking photos since I was a child. My first camera was a Kodak bellows camera 6x9 that my father gave me. It didn't come with a light meter. My father told me: In the afternoon, when the sun is shining, set the exposure time to 125 and the aperture to 8... That's how I learned to take photos!

 

I always took 35mm photos - later digital 35mm, until my daughter needed a camera for her training. I gave her my Nikon D7000 and looked around for an alternative. I discovered that it was still possible to buy and develop analogue film. Then I found a Mamiya RB67 - my dream camera from the past and I couldn't resist buying it. It was then only a stone's throw from medium format to large format.

 

Flickr is very inspiring to me and I love the contacts here. Thank you for your interest in my pictures, thanks for all the favs and comments. It is much appreciated.

Please don't use any of my images on websites, blogs, or other media, in any publication, print, or the internet without my explicit written permission.

 

Have a great day

Alex
