Untitled

I found three boxes of Kodaslide last week in Brussels flea market of the Marolles (Place du jeu de balle).
Here is the scanned of the slides.
No edit just basic color correction is done on Lightroom 4.

Unfortunately no information concerning the people included in the photos are provided on the boxes.
All photos are taken (assume the same day) during Expo 1958 in Brussels.

I will be posting more from this set soon.

One of my new year resolutions was to process my own film. I done it. This was an expired B/W Orwopan 100 film that I have shot in December before Christmas with my Carena SRH1000. The film slept for a while. In November last year I got a special bag to use as a dark room to roll films to the processing tank. In January I have obtained the chemicals. So I was ready to go. And finally last weekend I give it a shot!

Results are almost terrible but ok, this is the first trial. Here I should indicate what I have used to process the B/W film.

Chemicals:

  • Ilford ID 11 as the developer
  • Amaloco s10 as the stop bath
  • And finally Ilford rapid fixer

I am using JOBO 1520 universal tank and a very good quality (American brand) dark room bag. I have to add that I got three beakers from Carrefour to measure the chemicals and also a thermometer.

I have watched many tutorials about film processing on youtube but you learn only when you do it. My biggest mistake in this first trial was to use a little bit less developer chemical and also not to shake it very proper. So this is the lesson learned. I also have to admit that I am still not very good at rolling the film to the spiral for the processing tank. There I have lost some parts of the film and put my finger prints.

Once the processing was completed I hang the film rolls dry and next day scanned them with my Epson V500. As I have not yet bought any film envelopes the film was rolled so was very difficult to place in the scanner film holders. This is a final lesson for the future.

I look forward for new adventures with the B/W white films.

My stories here always concern pavements. Sometimes it is nice to look above at the fragile sky. Last post of the year, his favorite abelia’s. I miss you but this year is definitely not to be missed.

art nouveau walk

Art Nouveau firstly emerged in the early 1890′s, particularly in Brussels, Paris and London. Benefiting from a period of considerable economic wealth and development the city gone through a substantial building programme. We can conclude that the Art Nouveau movement was highly linked to industry and the growth of modern commercialism. Its name was even given by a businessman.

As for Brussels, architects such as Victor Horta initiated new and innovative design projects in the city. This led to the maturity of Art Nouveau. It was in Brussels that glass and iron were combined visibly to create light and airy interiors. Here in my photo walk during the Art Nouveau walk during the Biennale does not provide any images from indoor but more on facades of the buildings.

In October, my walk started in Schaerbeek and followed a route from Botanique area to Parc Josaphart then passed to Square Ambroix. I have not only focused on Art Nouveau buildings but also modern or random architecture.

So here in this photo set, you will see the Ancien Immeuble RVS (the first photo), details of Maison Autrique, private house in Rue Seutin 8, Ancien hôtel de la Régie des Téléphones et des Télégraphes (large photo below) in Schaerbeek. Quaker house, Hanse office, Hôtel Van Eetvelde, Maison de Gustave Strauven in square Ambroix.

Architectural landscape of Brussels is bringing high contrast and I love it. Just like the French and the Dutch newspapers.

It was a nice walk in a cold Sunday afternoon. It was rather sad because this was my last roll from devoted Leica Minilux, which suffered a E02 failure while shooting this roll. See the first photo in this post with multiple exposure. Normally Leica Minilux does not have that capability but because of the shutter failure it resulted in multiple exposure. After 3.5 half years and 30 rolls of film I had to say farewell to the Minilux.
