Hänsel & Gretel And A Long Winter

Not much has happened the last week … I’m a bit ill, with a cold and cough, but I’m still walking through wintry, freezing, snowy Berlin.

I had a scanning appointment for my many pinhole camera negatives and realised once again: when the world, people and politics depress me, pictures fill my heart with a smile and gentle confidence.

This strange Hänsel and Gretel photo: me and my friend-who-flies-around-in-an-unknown-universe. … Fixing error? Minor solarisation? Sticky fingers? Black stars twinkling? I don’t know… but I find it mysterious and beautiful.

I Cannot Stop …

… taking pinhole photos!
The snow is melting rapidly as March is marching in soon … birds go crazy and I can feel the sun beams on my skin. I love it!
So here we go: one of my last snow photos taken with my beloved Illy coffee camera, FOMA negative film inside, 100 ASA, exposure time just a few seconds.

Oooooh, I guess I made the most beautiful pinhole photo ever! Pure luck!
What is these grey irregularities in the sky? Is it finger prints? Dirt?
I am not sure … the piece of negative was in the Illy cam for some days before I actually exposed it. Maybe a change of warm and cold, maybe dust … I don’t care, it looks fantastic 😉
