Everybody has once thought about going to Paris, walking on its streets, sitting at the gardens or at the famous bistrots and, of course, taking a tour of the Eiffel Tower. I've been dreaming about Paris for a long time, and how amazing would it be to live there? A friend of mine calls it: the ancient capital of the modern world. I worked my way to Paris and finally got the opportunity to come and study here. Now, after 8 months, I can say that there is no place on Earth like it, this city makes everyone different.

This is my review of the cheap 100 speed black and white 120 film from Lomography. It gives nice grey tones and is very forgiving in exposure. It has a very nice detail, although it has its nuances.

A much cheaper version of the Lubitel 166+ and in my opinion, just as good. A TLR which I feel is very underrated in the Lomography community and in the whole photography community. It has a nice bright waist level finder, sharp T-22 75mm f./4.5 lens, and very easy to use fully manual controls.

Retronaut is a website dedicated to archiving weird, wonderful and historic photographs from the last 200 years. Amongst this vast collection you can expect to see photos of London from 1913, raunchy fashion shoots from the 1920’s, futuristic designs from 1962 and everything you could possibly imagine in between. This week we have dug through the archives and found some rather cute black cat auditions in Hollywood from 1961.

The Atlantic Sea plays a very important role in Portugal’s history and culture. In Minho, the pleasant weather and aged villages result in the perfect combination. The moment I return to my country, this is the city that I want to live in: Viana do Castelo.

In Volume 3 of What It Takes, I dive into the world of respooling film to bring back an old bakelite 620 box camera that wants you to think it's a TLR. Spoiler alert: it's not!

It's known that B&W gives that special tone, that magical atmosphere, which sends us into a journey to the past. No need for black-and-white film for this journey as these locations of mine are "back to the past" by itself. I'll try not to cry while I'm writing this article.

You’d think it would be an easy job to find portraits of people standing (or sitting) bang in the centre of a black and white photo, right? Well, think again! This week’s installment of Influence or Coincidence, dealing with the symmetrical portrait photography of Lothar Wolleh, was webo29’s toughest to date. But he’s managed (sort of).

Colorvir is a multifaceted toning/dyeing process which can be used on all types of B&W negative and darkroom-produced B&W Print. The colorvir process creates wild colours and special effects, and thus, is an experimenters dream. It can be hard to get hold of the chemicals now, but if you can get your hands on them, then the possibilities are endless.
