Yeah, a real big beast. A camera I’ve always wanted to own but never managed to bring it in as shipping gonna cost a lot due to the weight. It weighs around 2kg and it’s huge! It’s often referred to as a ‘SLR on steroids’ and was produced from 1984 …
What makes some photos magical?
My answer is : How the hell would I know? It’s an interesting question that I read in a photography forum. Some excerpts from that question … Competent photography, we argued, could be attained by most people. As a competent photographer you could take some nice pictures of sunsets, supermodels …
The Czechoslovakian beauty
Photographed these closeups of a Flexaret VII camera that the postman just delivered. Took me quite a while to figure out how to use it, and the manual was probably translated by some mad Czechoslovakian scientist (I lost 10% of my hair while trying to figure out what it says). …
Babysitting weekend
Someone asked me about the size of photo album I use to keep photos I take of Fitzand. 😀 Maybe it’s a sign that I’m taking way too many photos of him but that’s something I love doing lots. I usually only select some of my favourites for printing, else …
A walk in the park with Fitzand

Oh look what the cat dragged in!
Collected an old Walzflex TLR from a seller and I should have took the Walzflex and left … but I didn’t. After a short conversation, I found out that he has 2 more of these old TLRs for sale! I went to take a look at them … and …
Spinning around
Had a short beer session with a friend to go through some photos we are working on, and somehow touched this subject of creating photos like the one above. It’s been a while since I did some of those based on some online instruction and thought maybe this coming weekend, …
Resurrected 35 bucks TLR
A TLR for $35? Well that’s about US$25 … for a TLR. Saw someone selling an old Haiou (Seagull) TLR (I think it’s the old 4A-103 model) for parts because the film advance wasn’t working. Took a risk and bought it to try resurrecting it and after a couple of …
Redscale double #1
