Recently I spotted Nikuku vintage frames and thought that they would be perfect with my photogravure photographs.

The Arts Weekend Kinsale is coming to an end. I had a photogravure demo and one of my paintings were in the Philip Gray’s gallery for the exhibition. All in all,  I think it went pretty good and some happy ladies went home with a piece of finished photogravure print. I joined the event in […]

I hate built in flash, but I wanted to try. This is a straight forward scan. The vignetting and the colour of a Kodak Ektar film  is interesting. It is familiar with all those photos from the 80ties but in a way very much modern.

I bought cheaply two cameras Konica C35 EF and SeaSea Marine, with the idea to use them as my vacation cameras.  Konica is small, practical, light, easy to put in a pocket, cheap, not to be bothered with the terrible financial loss if something goes wrong – drop, theft, etc. Sea&Sea Marine is a chunky […]

It was only logical that in the 19th century printmaking becomes one of the methods to produce photography. Together they create beautiful artworks. I am continuing with my small edition printing. Only 4 of […]

I developed a new film. It is an Adox CMS20II. And as always, I made my first selection of photographs, which one will be kept. Final selection will eliminate all the images that don’t fit my current project, idea, portfolio that is in progress etc. I thought I might show them to you, photos that […]

This morning, I don’t even remember how, I end up reading text about Art Nouveau, Ramon Garcia-Bragado: “Art Nouveau- Whatever the case, each was based on a desire to break with the past, to overcome traditional academic canons and seek new, original concepts and forms that looked to the future. At the same time, however, […]

  The thing with a LF camera is that everything is slow. Finding the location, composing the cadre, shoot, go to the studio, develop and all that just to find out – you can do better than that. Maybe the composition is not the best, the light was not the best. Sometimes, just to get […]
