My Workflow
Some time ago I came across a question that a fellow photographer posted on Twitter. It simply asked about the pros and cons of scanning your own 35mm or 120 film at home. The replies were a mild mix, as is so often the case on twitter, ranging from “it’s easy and saves you money, and you have control” to “unbearable and takes too much time to learn”.

Rum swizzle, Dark & Stormy, Pink Sand - what could I be talking about? That’s right - I am talking about Bermuda!
Flying to the Caribbean or anywhere South can be somewhat of a trek depending on where you fly to, but Bermuda is only a short flight away (1 hour and 45 minutes!) and getting there is a breeze. Fresh off the island from our wonderful trip, first time to Bermuda, I’ve decided to share some quick thoughts and (more importantly) photos.
Texas on Ektachrome
A totally random collection of photos I made on a recent trip to Texas (Houston, Dallas and Austin). All photos made on the new Ektachrome film. Developed at Bleeker Digital Solutions here in NYC and scanned at home.
Coney Island On Ektachrome
Here are a couple of (test) photos that I took during a day-trip to Coney Island. My first roll of Ektachrome. Enjoy! I am pleased with the results and the film / photos turned out exactly as expected. Some of them have that color pop vintage feel.
Berlin Reloaded
The benefit of visiting a city or place that I've been to before is that there is no pressure to go sightseeing and work down a list of major tourist attractions. I can be spontaneous and just wander around, something I did on this trip.

High (Up) in N.Y.C.
Sometimes you have to be spontaneous and just go for it without thinking about it for too long. That's exactly how I felt about a week ago (Saturday 8/27). "It" in this case was booking a spot on a door-less New York City helicopter ride with FlyNYON.

Hamburg
For me, no visit to Germany is complete without a visit to Hamburg. Whilst I was not born in Hamburg, it is my favorite city in Germany and one of the few places that I make absolutely sure I stop by whenever I fly back home to Germany. When asked by friends or strangers which places to visit in Germany, Hamburg is at the top of my list of recommendations.
Concours d'Elegance
First held in 1996 the Greenwich Concours D'Elegance is an annual event that takes place in Greenwich, Connecticut. The event kicks off Friday afternoon with a car parade down Greenwich Avenue, and is followed by the Concours Americana and Concours International on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, at the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park.
Chi-city
My last trip to London was only three weeks in the rear-view mirror before it was time again to pack my bags and head to Chicago for a long weekend getaway.
N.Y.C. - 042316
First weekend in ages without any work or particular plans. What better way to spend a sunny spring day than riding through NYC on my bike and explore? Here are a couple of snapshots I took this weekend in Brooklyn.
We Own The Night
A few snapshots taken from the observation deck at the Empire State Building earlier in the month. All photos were taken with the Leica MP, Zeiss Sonnar and Kodak Tri-X 400.
