2026 is here!

Yes, I’m really lucky: I have a mother who lives near the Baltic Sea (in north-west Germany) and I have good friends with a house behind the dunes on the Baltic Sea in north-east Germany! One for Christmas, one for New Year’s Eve!

I had the idea of throwing a message in a bottle into the sea at point A and then fishing it out a week later at point B. Unfortunately, I didn’t do it because I was lazy … It would have been a message to myself and maybe a good idea for a film … Damn! More films this year …

Norgaardholz – Film

I made a very short film recently when I spent a wonderful week at my mother’s at the Baltic Sea in August.
I remember … a timeless feeling lying in the sand in the sun … and the Baltic Sea was for once in my lifetime not too cold to swim!

Here’s the film!

Ostsee!

Ich liebe die Ostsee! I love the Baltic Sea! This time I was so lucky … had a full week of sunshine, low wind, nice heat, no rain! Quite unusual!!
I met with my brother and nephew, we helped Mama with house and garden (it’s a bit like a new beginning for her since my father died earlier this year …).
Some images!

Illy On The Beach

I put my favourite pinhole camera on the beach and let it take dramatic pictures!! 🙂
In the can: a piece of black & white negative sheet film. Put it on a piece of photo paper – FOMAbrom baryta – so I receive a positive image! Develop it in Caffenol … which seems to give it an extra dramatic tone! Brown-greyish. I love it!
