As i browsed through my profile here, I noticed it had been a long time since I wrote a journal entry so I though I would let you know what has been going on with me.

The first major thing that happened to me is that I started collecting old and antique cameras. Not only that, I started taking pictures with some of them. My second camera is now Moskva 2 a 6x9 (!) folding rangefinder camera. It is rather amazing working with it and quite expensive too, so I have to limit myself with taking pictures with this awesome piece of technology.

In my main line of photography, I didn't really change my style or prefered genres. I try to do more portraits, as working with people is always very enriching and inspiring for me. I even started meddling with some off camera lighting with some nice results you can see in my gallery.

For the future, I'd like to experiment with projections and projectors and we will all see where that takes me.

Regarding my gear, I bought some lenses (Pentax DA 21 and 70 limited, FA25/2 a macro lens (Pentax FA 50/2.8) and an old tele (Vititar 200/3.8) which are all quite amazing and I love working with them. On the other hand, I got rid of the Pentacon and all other M42 lenses I had but still keep the adaptor in case some nice lens with this mount turns up (Jupiter 9? Lensbaby Composer? Who knows). I almost stopped using any zooms I had, working almost exclusively with primes theses days and it is very rewarding too.

So, until next time, my faithul watchers, as well as random passers-by.
