📄 First VP-6000 Darkroom Prints
I made my first set of black and white prints with my new Kaiser VP-6000 enlarger. It’s been a bit of an experimental session figuring out all the settings and my personal preferences. But so far I have been very happy with the results.
Just started bulk-loading another 30.5m-spool of APX 400.
I think this film bulk-loaded is the best deal in black and white film photography. One spool is €48 at Nordfoto and gives you 18 roles of film with 36+ exposures each. That’s not even €2.70 per canister. It’s a steal. And it’s a great film.
📄 My first pedalboard
Version 1.0 of my pedalboard is done. Here it is:
🎧 City Burials – Katatonia
🎧 No Comfort – Monolord
🎧 Dummy – Portishead
Just a wonderfully quiet and melancholic album.
🎧 Something Wicked Marches In – VLTIMAS
🎧 Fuck the Universe – Craft
🎧 Lotus – Soen
Still regular listening to both the “Lotus” and “Lykaia” albums.
🎧 In Cauda Venenum – Opeth
Ever since seeing them live last time, I can’t get “Allting tar slut” out of my head.
🎧 Blood Year – Russian Circles
Their latest album. Would have loved to see them live last month. But as everything was cancelled, this will need to do – which is not bad at all.
🎧 Fear Inoculum – TOOL
Still in rotation.
📄 Corona update 3
It’s been a while since I wrote about “the situation”. In summary: we’re mostly at home, but not really quarantining ourselves.
Yesterday, I spontaneously acquired a new (used) darkroom enlarger that was on offer locally:
It’s a Kaiser VP-6000. And it included everything I need to make prints from 6x6 medium format negatives. So now I can finally start printing the photos I have been making with my Rolleiflex!
To get a little impression of what Düsseldorf looks like during the Covid-19 pandemic, you can check out Andreas Schiko’s blog where he currently posts photos of empty Düsseldorf streets.
Ok, my “Fuck you, Instagram!” bookmarklet stopped working again. Bloody annoying. At least permalinks still work on their own and right-clicking hasn’t been disabled (yet?). So “Open Link in New Tab” still works.
