Hello birdy

longing for a safari

Safari anyone?

longing for another styled shoot

working on some styled shoots idea. I have some ideas for Paris and some food shoots.

Though I will have a tight schedule for 4 weeks, I have quite a few projects and plans and many photographic projects: start of of a boo projects, some photo walks, food photography, visits of museums and art exhibitions, a photo workshop with Quinn Jacobson at the Centre Iris on Intro to Wet Plate Collodion: Making Positive Images, lots of photos with the Rolleiflex and the Polaroid cameras (both with integral and peel apart films), a week in the Netherlands for work and a week-end in Amsterdam for pleasure (= photos photos photos)

in the Bush

Some old photos from my flight with Flying Medical Service with Ben last year.

FMS does weekly clinics in the bush to provide medical services to the people (mainly maasai but only) who live in remote places

I am a bit sick in the plane so I am not really enjoying the flights. But just before landing I am back breathing normally and I enjoy the landing on an “airstrip” that usually just looks like a strip of green and is not very straight

Below is the airstrip…

Below, Olbalbal. The school kids in their uniform are doing the water chores… during school hours.. The teacher is nowhere in sight.

photo with the Wista

 

This is a photo I took a few months ago in the “studio”  with the 4x5 wista camera (a view camera) with Neopan Accros sheet film.

Some sun

It is the rainy season here in Arusha: grey skies and rain. My feet are cold.

To put some sun back in the house I bought some sunflowers yesterday. Just love them. They make me smile each time I see them.
