How can one not sympathise with the #BlackLivesMatter movement? Generally, and especially right now. George Floyd was – unnecessarily, intentionally, almost casually – killed by a white police officer. And he was only the most recent case of many many many others in the past.

📄 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!
