The housemates

For my minor photography I made 3 potraits of my housemates. Shot with a Kiev88 on 120film. That ought to be all I'd have to say about the architect, the jeweler and the artist.

Thanks for posing Lori, Milan and Crispijn. And thanks for the camera Crispijn!

Look like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Schaatsbaan (Ice rink) Rotterdam

A while back I took some pictures in an abandoned ice rink. After it was a rink, it was an improved go-cart track, and afterwards they changed it info a children's playground. Lucky for me the machineryroom suffered a nice little flood due to the huge cooling installation (for the rink of course).

Look like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Le pin du hole

Last year I made me a pinhole-camera (joy!) to try and get down some of the basics of photography (and to get a nice excuse to have a project to work on). Didn't use film, just straight onto photographic paper.

First try out was with an empty can of mashed tomatoes.




Le results:



Only well known problem is that if you make an image your have to take your closed container to wherever you chemicals are and THEN you can't print them.

So I made a large box that could fit 21,6 x 27,9 cm (8.5”x11”) paper and some sort of loading mechanism so I needn't walk back and forth to my Development Lab (=toilet).

And that worked!!!

...once (the paperloader kept on creating some kind of vaccuum so the pieces of paper kept clinging together)

At least I got some neat pictures out of it.





(the strange blue tone is due to the out-of-date chemicals that i used)
