back to basics & news from the south
So there I am, .. back on my blog and ready for any kind of trash. Just managed to find a way back to photography after I had a leck of motivation during the last months. So this was since last June or July when I did the last "serious work" .. just joking, .. think it was in August 07 when I last took photos with the OM-1 on a flea market in the city. Digital the same, ... I didn't touch my digital camera for ages .. rather I only did one commissioned job around christmas and before I didn't touch the canon since may or june I think - it's lying in the bag .. too bad (btw I'm selling my 10-20mm Sigma, if anyone is interested contact me!).
So at the moment I'm doing just analogue, ... just finished 1 APX 100 (@100) and 2 TriX 400 (@1600) .. to be honest I shot those three during one week .. from last saturday until monday this week .. just great to be back and do what I love .. motivation is back and it's so good to take photos with film. Yesterday we had a developing session at Markus' lab (which is actually his bathroom, as he's still planning a new "real lab" in his flat - after we lost our old lab at university in summer [stupid bastards]) and did 5 rolls of APX, Trix and TPan .. was nice to see the results, but some didn't worked so well. Should get the film scanner today and so I will scan the films tomorrow and upload most of it here if it's showable enough .. looks good so far with most of it. For the moment, no photos in this entry .. next one will include a lot!!
Have a nice one,
Michael
ps: don't think I will leave the eos 350d in the bag .. there will be time to take it out soon, just need inspiration or that kick in my ass ;)

first scans, lot of news
First of all sorry for the leck of updates here .. just no motivation during summer :) .. now just one month of holidays remaining I wanna give you a quick overview what happened lately.
After I had a lot of rolls developed I needed to scan them so I asked Markus if I can have his film scanner when he's in england for two weeks .. so now he's there and I have the scanner :D .. standing right next to me, already did a lot of scanning .. we also had three long developing session 2 weeks ago so enough material to show I think ;) .. btw also had a nice develop-day in the lab with Johannes (alife) from vienna. So see some results from the rolls I shot during the last 3, 4 months .. trip to vienna in may, devmeet in may, older pics from klagenfurt, street stuff .. I add them at the bottom. (most of it is Agfa APX 100, APX 400 and Ilford FP4 .. gonna try TriX 400 next, but have enough APX left in my fridge too)
Summer was quite boring from time to time, .. no work, just one assignment and another job for a friend, doin design/coding/photos for a website .. so one photo shooting and one website made in 2 1/2 months, .. just not a lot of money .. but ok. :) .. was at the lake quite seldom, had fever in the hottest days of summer (ugly), won and lost a lot of money on poker .. stopped playing online poker haha, made many new friends and just enjoyed time .. did a lot of relaxing and hanging around.
So enjoy the scans below .. see u soon!

one, two, .. barbecue
Yeah we are goin into summer more and more. Outside sun is shining down, people are lying in meadows and at the lake .. the classes at university get empty :D haha .. today sitting here and see approx. 30 people in a room for 200 and listening to some lecturer who is interesting, but with that weather it gets hard to listen :) .. so I do this entry now.
Last class for this week, afterwards relax and nothin' to do .. weekend is long, holidays there and university starts again on wednesday :) .. so I'm quite fine with the situation. Later on I will have a look outside the campus and have some drink with friends maybe .. also looking at a fleamarket they have today (but so far I didn't see any stands hm .. no one interested in selling things). It's not fine to go on photo tours these days .. to sweltry in the city and around, . high humidity is nothing I like, .. sun and summer is great, but that not :D
Looking for some poker evening today or tomorrow, after already had some play on sunday evening (was nice and quite long) and some quick play with friends at university, sitting in the sun on tuesday afternoon haha. Some friend of mine got new furniture for his flat .. so we might test it soon ;) .. I need an ace on the river haha.
Saturday I leave the city around noon, taking Nora and Thomas also on my car. We will head for the 3rd Carinthian Devmeet in Gallizien, make some barbecue at a river, chillin' on some sort of sandbank there. Meeting some girls and boys from deviantart there, .. we all know us well as we met several times before or go to university together (some attend school and know each other from there) .. so should be fun. Afterwards have some evening with movies on DVD, playstation or other games .. looks like a nice day. Sunday morning/afternoon .. back to Klagenfurt (just some 20 minutes from there) .. and enjoy the rest of the 3 days off. I will take the OM-1 and some 2 or 3 films with me (think apx 100 will do, .. maybe some trix 400 for the evening) and do some shots there .. might also take the 350D and the 50/1.8 with me .. nothing more needed :D documentation follows. (also time for developing, as we get warm water in the lab these days .. they shut it down .. stupid people, .. argggh)
see u soon!

thursday boring thursday
Still no news from me, I'm a bit pissed by some things happened in the past days. Everything is quite fine, but many things I wanted to manage or do, went wrong or into the wrong direction. So first of all I still need to develop my rolls from the OM-1 (FP4 and APX100 from our Vienna trip). I get mad when I see all those nice photos from our viennese friends who already have them online .. and me is waiting, waiting and waiting .. so hopefully we will do the developing on friday or saturday!
So for the moment no new pics from here, .. the EOS wasn't used the last days, .. have a press job tomorrow evening, which pisses me too ... but who cares, I promised to be there and take photos .. so it's my own fault :D haha. Afterwards I need the weekend and look for some poker action, .. sunday could be time for trip outside into the country or something similar (enough street the last weeks, hm? .. I don't know .. I prefer street .. like it more)
Have a look on my blog-roll, .. added some one or two new links there .. need to update again, as I have some other links there, no blogs .. will add a portfolio-roll too ;)
So stay tuned, I will make my next entry until monday I think .. maybe with my first scans on it!

back from emo-city
Finally back from Vienna, the city of emo :D .. or lets say multi-cultural city of human creatures with different styles ;) haha. Ok, coming back from ironic .. the trip was pure fun. Met up with Johannes, Sebastian & Sarah (see my blog-roll) and of course with our host for the two days, Werner (beachdair.deviantart.com).
I did a lot of shots that two days in Vienna, .. shot two rolls of film with the Olympus OM-1 (attached the 50/1.8) .. one FP4 I got the days before from Markus (geek7.deviantart.com) and another APX100 I got from Werner on sunday before walking to the city center (as I was sure, I will need to change on that walk .. and so it was .. full FP4, .. had to change to APX at the Stephansplatz, right when seeing some nice photo subjects, .. damn)
So we started our trip on Sunday morning, arriving Vienna at 11 A.M. .. getting our things to Werner's flat as he came to the station and picked us up .. took tram to flat, left the bags there and headed to city center to meet up with our friends. So in mid-afternoon with came together on Mariahilfer Street and walked around .. got to Stephansplatz, Burggarten, Volksgarten and many more streets .. took many photos on that trip and had fun talking and watching crazy people .. many emos of course :D haha. Later on we had to say good bye and they left us, .. we went home and in the evening did some chilling in an irish pub .. the Molly Darcy's .. really nice pub .. have to visit it again next time I'm in Vienna! Monday was shopping day, after a short sleep of some 3 to 4 hours .. we went to the shopping streets of the city center .. Mariahilfer again, Westbahn Street .. had to buy some film (tri-x, apx, .. also looking for delta and plus-x but didn't get those two), paper and chemicals for the lab and myself got a little bag for cam + max. 2 lenses (needed something like this for short trips, to leave the big ones at home) and also looked for shirts, but I just bought a tie with poker cards instead of a shirt. So in the end, we had a good day on monday, .. really hot and sunny again .. got most of the things we wanted and in the end left Vienna at 5 P.M. .. arriving home at 9 P.M. .. happy but tired :D .. the trip was good, hope to do make something like this soon again .. but I'll wait for the cheap summer tickets of austrian railways .. 48 (24 in one direction) euros is way too much money for it, .. summer will bring more action for less money.
So here are the photos .. for the moment just the digital ones, .. haven't developed the two rolls so far, one isn't finished yet (just need two or three pics to shoot tomorrow) and then will do so on Monday or Tuesday. Some digital ones, .. nonetheless hope you like them.
