There was a range of ultra-low iso slidefilms for artificial Tungsten light from Kodak that delivers all kinds of color-nuances and shades. These films were quite durable and stable, so they were actually quite suitable for many kinds of weather conditions and photojournalists, that always had to be sure that they can deliver results whenever it's needed. One of my favourites in this row must be the Kodak Ektachrome 320ET - a true survivor.

Once I laid eyes on that offer on eBay I was instantly stunned. There was a slide film of Ilford. The British film producer came out with their own branded color transparencies? I made sure to win the bunch and tried the Ilford Dia 200 myself. One of the reasons I liked it is because it used the German name for slidefilm: Dia.

The history of film production must be as confusing and incestuous as the web of royal relationships of the European kingdoms in the 17th century up to the 19th. Back in the days, a German noble becomes the Russian Czaress, French lords became kings of Spain, and even the Danish were ruling all of Scandinavia. A marriage here, a war elsewhere, a coup d'etat everywhere - such a mess. Nothing was like it seemed and you could never trust what you were told. And with the Scotch Super Chrome 100 it’s history repeating itself.

It’s the original encounters, which unfolds the most energy and evokes the strongest feelings! There's nothing quite like finding a film that has its own secrets and leaves you guessing. Such is the Kodak Vericolor Slide Film, a sensation in blue and black.

It's the photographic accidents that sometimes bring out some new twists and thoughts about photography. Things you never really thought about in the first place. Just imagine the lens of your panoramic camera gets loose and creates some very interesting new results? How about that?

Aus der Rubrik „Was macht eigentlich?“ ist mir letztens eine schöne Geschichte ins Haus geflattert. Zusätzlich zu einer "Blonde" landete ein Adidas-Magazin mit dem Titel „News for Original Girls“ in meinem Briefkasten. Und eiderdaus, dort gibt es einen Artikel über Marie Nasemann, die bei Germany’s Next Topmodel 2011 den dritten Platz belegt hat. Neben Katjes nascht das Model auch an analogen Filmen. Zumindest hat sie nach eigenen Angaben immer eine goldene Diana in der Handtasche.

Vor einem Jahr hatte ich die Chance für die Lomographische Gesellschaft ein kleines Abenteuer zu erleben. Mit der neuen La Sardina im Gepäck habe ich mich auf die Suche nach Geschichten rund um Kaviar gemacht. Die Reise führte mich durch den Kaukasus, Russland und das Baltikum. Entstanden ist daraus das Buch "The Caviar Diaries", das zusammen mit der La Sardina Czar und Beluga ausgeliefert wird. Diese Geschichte ist nun die Rahmenhandlung meiner ersten Solo-Ausstellung.

The construction of the lomographic guide of Seoul is gaining pace and content. And so I thought I should pull out a merry old location to join the jam. A few years back on my first stay in Seoul, I discovered a green mountain in the middle of a city made of concrete and steel. Mount Iwangsan is a big city delight with a lot of incentives and shamanic ghosts.

We are all in love with the marvelous and unchallenged pinnacle of colour-cross-explosion of the Agfa CT Precisa 100. In the quest to find films with likewise features, I looked in the neighborhood and found another gangsta: the Agfa CT Precisa 200. But, this black sheep in the family surprised me with unprecedented effects. This film is sick – it has the pox!

It is most likely the one border that is constantly in the focus of the world. The demarcation line between North and South Korea is always hot and edgy. You better hold your horses and don’t get silly, because the soldiers have their finger on the trigger. But beside from that, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea can also be considered as a political version of Disneyland.

She is up and coming and hot like a vodka afterburn. Olga Fonda is taking Hollywood by storm and she gets down and dirty with a toy camera. The model and actress did a shoot for the FHM Germany and she was wearing a Holga 135 and not much more. ;-)

In my quest to find films everybody forgot about, I found the ALFO Professional Slide Film. Never really heard about that one, so I started my CSI engine. So this review is rather about the way one researches about the history of gone film-gems than the look of its emulsion.

A palace is a spectacular sight in every corner of the world. But sometimes the events around the monument have that special edge, that make it a unique lomographic location.

Du bist ein schmutziger Film, sehr schmutzig! Schämst du dich überhaupt nicht, sich so darzustellen in aller Öffentlichkeit. Und dieser Schmutz in deinem Gesicht und auf deinem Körper. Man kann dich keinen Moment aus den Augen lassen und eigentlich will ich das auch gar nicht.

Printfilme wirken oft nicht so attraktiv auf mich. Es gibt Tausende Sorten und die Farben sind nicht so konstant wie bei Dia-Filmen und crossen ist auch nicht wirklich eine Option. Aber es ist die Varietät, die analoge Fotographie so spannend macht. Und der Voigtländer V200 ist eine Wahl, die mehr und mehr meine Aufmerksamkeit gewinnt.

Ich kann mich nicht im Entferntesten erinnern, wie ich an diesen Film geraten bin. Aber so geht es mir oft in dieser analogen Welt. Ich vergesse auch gerne mal einen Film fünf Jahre zu entwickeln und so mancher Lomograph wundert sich, wo denn seine Doubles geblieben sind, äh...
Wie dem auch sei. Ich war glücklich, dass mir diese Film-Perle im letzten Sommer auf einen Trip nach Schweden in die Hände gefallen ist. Ich kann stolz sagen, dass er einer der feinsten Schwarz-Weiß-Filme ist, der mir je unter gekommen ist.

You are a dirty film, very dirty! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Exposing yourself blank in front of all those people? And look at all the grain in your face and on your body! I cannot leave you for a bit and really, I don’t want to!

Das muss vielleicht der verrückteste monochromatische Film sein, der mir je untergekommen ist. Der Name ist schon ein Versprechen und die Bilder sind es auch. Die meisten Schwarz-Weiß-Filme, die ich kenne, haben eine besondere Eigenschaft: Objekte, die weiter entfernt sind, werden dunkler. Mit dem Adler fliegt aber die Dunkelheit davon. Hier ist es komplett anders: Umso weiter das Objekt von der Line entfernt ist, desto heller ist es.

Color negative film often doesn’t appeal to me. There seem to be endless variation and colours are not as reliable as slide film, and cross processing it is basically not an option. But it is the variety, that makes analogue photography ever exciting and the Voigtländer V200 is a choice that catches more of my attention lately!

I don't remember how I came across this film-gem. But nonetheless, I took this film-gem on a trip to Sweden last summer and I can proudly say that the Ilford Pan 100 is one of the greatest black and films I ever got to try.
