Another analog photographer is gone

Posted 08-20-2008 at 03:44 AM by Falkenberg
A photographer that I have worked with has dropped analog completely. I know that this is not news in any way, since everyone is going digital. Most of the photographers I know only have their analog cameras stading somewhere as a museum piece. What was special about this photographer was that he insisted on shooting analog for his clients. It was interesting to see his clients look at polaroids in this digital age. The reason he gives for stopping with shooting analog is that there is no more...

Developing pains

Posted 07-08-2008 at 04:44 PM by Falkenberg
My plan was to develop 12 sheets of 4x5 film with great shots (naturally ). Looking back at my day it was probably not the best decision I made. I have been home most of the day due to my boy being sick. We went to the doctor and found out he had pneumonia. On the way home we picked up our 4 year old girl. When we came home her temperature went up and she got sick too. Tucked them in bed. That was when I decided to use some time to develop som film. Maybe I should just have turned on the telly...

Hello again - what to shoot with my last 15 Polaroids

Posted 06-16-2008 at 04:39 PM by Falkenberg
Today I got a gift from the photographer I helped the other day. It was his last box of Polaroid 809 film and his filmholder and developer.
I am sitting here with the box in my hand and I am wondering what to shoot with it. 15 shots. 15 moments in time. What to do.
There is always the solution to sell it and use the money to fund the last 3 years of medical school

Usually I have a lot of good projects that I could use this film for, but none come to mind at the moment....

Goodbye my darling Polaroid

Posted 06-12-2008 at 04:00 AM by Falkenberg
Yesterday I had the oppertunity to work with a photografer, taking portraits. We shoot all the portraits on 8x10" polaroid and did transfers to cotton with them. It is always fun to work with Polaroids, but as we all know it will soon be over. This morning I checked with all the pro photo shops here in Denmark and all have sold out of 8x10" Polaroid film and the distributor can not get any more. Now I will have to look around on the internet to see if there are any left somewhere. But...

A touch of history

Posted 02-02-2008 at 09:13 AM by Falkenberg
How did it happen that I am about to buy a camera from 1935. In this age of digital everything, why do I even consider a camera that old. The camera that I am looking at is an old danish design. It is a NORKA (Nordisk Kamerafabrik) multi camera. It will let me take multiple pictures on the same sheet of paper or plate (see picture). As the seller puts it the camera is supposed to work but might need some TLC. This makes me wonder if it will set my 20x24" camera project back or if it be a further...
