A collection of doodles from my work notebook. All of them done with no particular idea, at random times, while I was thinking about something else. Kinda scary.
Streets of Den Haag
Few days ago, when i got back from my trip to The Hague, I quickly browsed through the photos I made there.As I was planning a selection for the blog, lots of thoughts that i wanted to put on this post came over my mind. Few days later, as I decided just to post the photos.
The people and the streets...
Ilford XP2 400
Less then a year ago, I bought an Ilford XP2 400 ASA. For the less informed, it is a C41 process film, meant to be processed with chemicals and machines used for all the other standard commercial films. I thought it was a wise choice to buy such a film because I will not have any problems finding a lab to process it.
Of course, I was wrong.
The procedure turned out to be very long, since there are about three labs still processing film in Macedonia. And you can rarely find a lab which scanner "accepts" BW film. At the end, i managed to get the film processed.
Here are some of the photos, as scanned by the lab. Luckily, the prints turned out much, much better...

@Trainstation
I used to travel by train a lot as a student (it was the cheapest form of transport).
Didn't like trains much back then. Simply because they were old, dirty, slow and too crowded.
I spent a lot of time in trains and train stations, so, when I heard that the "Business class" is active again ("Business class" meaning the train stops only on 4 instead of 30 or so stations) some strange feeling of nostalgia made me want to travel by train again.
So I did...
Here are some of the photos I made while waiting for the train at the Skopje Train Station.
The time took its toll from the train station in Skopje. Once a beautiful object, the station is worn out nowadays, dark and gloomy. It was pouring rain that day which added to the generally dark atmosphere.

On the Streets of Istanbul
I've just returned from a trip to Istanbul.
Or Constantinople.
Or Byzantium.
You know, the where-east-meets-west story.
There will be some photos in this post but I must warn You: You will not see any of all the magnificent buildings this city has. (I shot only a few of them, just in case).
Instead, I shot almost 0.00002% of the 19 000 000 inhabitants this giant beehive.
Here are some of them.
You can see the rest of the pictures here.

Winter through the window
A short video shot through the window of my dining room. I was using
Sony NEX 5n, with Nikon and Helios lenses, on Fotga adaptors. Shot and
edited in one day.
Loosdrecht
Obviously, these days, I am looking through some old stuff on my PC. This is a video made of some shots I did when I was at Loosdrecht in NL.

One day experiment
This morning I rediscovered the multiburst feature on my faithful Sony Dsc W100. It's a mode in which the camera takes multiple exposures during some time and after that exports a jpg image which is actually image made out from 16 consequent exposures. The idea was to take random images during a walk, and somehow render them into a video. Some people may call this timelapse, but I call it a video experiment.
Out of camera images look something like this:

Triple graded coffee
Its been a while since my last post, so in order to redeem myself in front of my scarce but devoted audience, I am posting three videos I filmed this morning and edited later in the afternoon. You'll probably notice that it's the same video graded in three different styles which makes this sentence obsolete, but I hope you'll enjoy watching them. Any comment regarding which one you like the best is welcome.
Here they are:

This is not a video postcard. :)
Shot in one day, mostly handheld. I was walking around the city, shopping for some sneakers, and recording along the way.
