I've been to a used car fair, not far from where I live. A lot of cars were for sale, but the best cars weren't for sale!
That's a Mercedes-Benz W115, a 1973-1976 facelifted model, and it looks immaculate.
Taken with Pentax MV film camera and smc Pentax-M 40mm F2.8 pancake lens, on a short roll of AgfaPhoto APX 400 film. Developed in Adonal 1+50 at 22°C.

Funnily enough, the very kind person I bought my enlarger from pointed me to this spot for photos. I made quite a few nice exposures there, this being one of them.
I enlarged this negative onto a paper I hadn't yet worked with before, Labaphot Labaspeed AS 314 PE. I wasn't sure that it would work at all, the box I have was given to me by a friend and I guess it was made some time in the 1980s (judging by the postal code given on the box label). I thought it might've been fogged to hell and back but it wasn't! In a previous lith test (yesterday), it didn't seem to develop any image at all but I suspect it might have not been the paper's fault, I imagine it could lith, judging by statements given on the box – "Das PE-Papier mit Barytqualität" and the fact that it doesn't include any development-enhancing chemicals. I guess another test will show.
I must say that I love how this print looks in person, I think the scan doesn't do it enough justice. I've found that to be typical in the domain of scanning darkroom prints but it's especially so with this one. The finish quality is excellent, probably the best pearl finish I've seen to date. The ever so slight color hue and soft rendering of tonal gradations, it's just beautiful to witness. The paper might look really well with a bit of selenium toning from what I can tell/was told. There's some selenium toner on its way to me, we'll see!
Some dodging was performed here, there's some telltale signs if you look closely enough ;)

A walk under the famous Spaghetti Junction of Birmingham, UK, in early May 2015.
Officially known as Gravelly Hill Interchange, Spaghetti Junction is junction 6 of the M6 motorway where it meets the A38(M) Aston Expressway in the Gravelly Hill area of Birmingham, England. The interchange was opened on 24 May 1972. It covers 30 acres (12 ha), serves 18 routes and includes 4 km (2.5 mi) of slip roads, but only 1 km (0.6 mi) of the M6 itself. Across five different levels, it has 559 concrete columns, reaching up to 24.4 m (80 ft).

Tmax instead of Trix ? hmm...
anyway, Holga is so-called toycamera, but fun to shoot.

T-max初めて使って現像してみましたが、なかなかいいですね。でも Tri-Xのほうが好きかな。
Holga、所詮はトイカメラだけど楽しいですね、うん。プラスチックとガラスレンズを使い分けたり、とか。雨の日はプラスチックでしょうね。

One of my first ever analog photos! Jokingly, I bought the last single use camera they had at some souvenir store on my visit to Bavaria back in 2015. The cashier told me something like "oh but this is still film, you know, no one buys that anymore". I didn't care much, bought it, shot with it, then mostly forgot about it. I had it lying undeveloped in some closet for a few years until I actually had it developed by a local drug store chain. And so, my analog journey started.
It was only recently that I came across the negatives from this camera again while looking through old photos. This one was a stand-out shot to me, it just worked. Originally, it was a color photo but I had the idea of trying it as a lith print in b/w – and so I did.
This was by far the longest photo paper exposure I've had to date. The negative was pretty dense thanks to heavy fog plus it had the brown/orange color masking too.
I've made three different lith prints – including this one. Still have a hard time deciding which is the best but this one hits my original vision the closest, I think.
With its super fuzzy and unsharp look, I kind of wish I had kept the camera itself... makes for very interesting, artsy shots!

Monumen Nasional in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Known as the National Monument Tower, standing 450ft tall, built in the 1960s to symbolise Indonesia's fight for independence. The top is plated in 35kg of gold. It is possible to have a grand view over the city from a platform near the top.
"During the 50th anniversary of Indonesian independence in 1995, the gold foil was recoated and increased to 50 kg of gold foil." - Which is a lot!

I like how the rails and the horizon almost "meet up". This shot was just a quick snap to finish off a roll of film. The light was fading quickly, I should probably have given it a stop more light. I think it still turned out quite nice :)

I anticipated this morning quite a lot: the weather forecast predicted thick fog. I woke up early and drove to Druseltal, making my way down through the Dönche natural reserve area.
Down there, everything was so fogged that I wasn't even sure where I was walking. Perfect conditions for interesting photography!
The Dönche is beautiful even when there's no fog at all but it just looks so dreamy and "void-like", if you will.

This image captures the timeless, fleeting energy of a summer’s day with an almost dreamlike quality. The motion blur of the two figures in the foreground—a swirl of flowing fabric and blurred limbs—conveys a sense of vitality and spontaneity. Their movements contrast beautifully with the stillness of the horizon and the delicate silhouettes of distant bathers and boats, creating a dynamic tension between the ephemeral and the eternal.
The panoramic frame, likely achieved with the Horizon S3 Pro, accentuates the expansive nature of the beachscape, giving the viewer a sweeping sense of the scene. The choice of black and white film strips the moment down to its essence, focusing on texture, contrast, and form. The bright highlights of the fabric against the muted midtones of the sand and water give the photograph an ethereal glow, while the shadows anchor the composition in reality.
What’s most compelling here is the ambiguity of the narrative. The blurred figures are both specific and universal—almost ghostlike—as if they are memories materializing from the past. This interplay between clarity and abstraction reminds me of the works of Josef Koudelka, where motion and stillness collide to evoke deep emotion.
