Nothing too personal. Analog for ever! My youngest portable darkroom has already 20 years on the hump, the oldest more than 50.

You can shoot wonderful photos with digcams and produce wonderful effects with photoshop but it's simply not mine ...

Update April 2012 - some of my work featured in Fine Art Photo, see also here

"As a rule I choose not to single out any one of the outstanding photographers who are presented in each edition. This time, however, I am taking the liberty of making an exception, as Michael Hummel’s specialism can truly be described as something out of the ordinary. He not only still operates a classic darkroom lab at home, like many other photographers who work with analogue means, but also uses in his work the oldest available photographic paper, which has been stored for decades. In this way, in combination with the fascinating lith printing technique, he attains wonderful results, images to dream of. The works shown from page 18 onwards only represent a small selection of them."
