AFRICA ! (2)

This is bigger than analogue photography

(Africa 1 look below. I made these sculptures a few years ago)

Testing... 2

Well, comparing 1962 Perutz Peromnia and 1963 Ilford Selochrome was easy. Both had fog, but what a difference, and Peromnia lost almost all sensitivity while Selochrome was still 21/100.
PS Selochrome wins - but do not forget: I don't know how the films were stored all that time! As I said earlier: no science, just fun.

Tradition: Geburtstag feiere ich in Düsseldorf, wo denn sonst. Baustelle wohin das Auge blickt, aber dieses Trompe L'Oeil verspricht was wir so um 2014 geniessen werden.
Selochrome hält sein Versprechen schon heute. Der 48+ Film liefert mit dem 1938 Tessar wieder perfekte Bilder.
Nächster Termin: Altweiber!

Musica per omnia

The Perutz Peromnia had to be overexposed (several seconds) and underdeveloped (half the normal time) but then there wàs an image, outside (see flickr) even better!

AFRICA !

Then and now 24

There is a 145 years gap between the two pictures and there were some changes, especially after WWII. The whole embankment has changed, and not for the better, I think. Only three groups of original houses are left.
But then again: I do drive a car, enjoy central heating, use the computer...
And take pictures with the Elmar/Frankenstein on RolleiRetro100.

Then and now 23

In the fifties/sixties, my school was nearby, we went to this viaduct to vanish in the steam of the locomotives, always nice. But make no mistake: Nijmegen was a modern city: we had those trolley-busses!
Now they run on natural gas. Yes, I know: it's better.
But where has the fun gone?
