Sony A7, Olympus 40mm F2 OM Zuiko. I don’t understand why I didn’t bring my OM-2 and T-Max 400. The A7 is nice, but it has no soul.

My new winter sports. Freeride skiing and ice climbing :)

I have shot so little during the last year. Maybe less than 10 rolls?

That means that even my film developer of choice, D-76, was mixed so long ago I was afraid to use it. The mix was labeled December 2013. It still worked ok on January 2015, but now I didn’t even want to give it a try. Fortunately, Rodinal is one of those indestructible things that will exist even after the world ends.

Maybe I should get 1 litre bags of D-76 in the future? I’m open for suggestions for high dilution, long shelf life developer to use with T-Max 400 @ISO 400-800.

A flood in Tampere. Olympus OM, 40mm f/2 Zuiko, T-Max 400@1600 in D-76 stock (9m30s @20ºC) I started on a new job in August and have taken much less photos. It's quite dark here in Finland and I'm too pussy to use a flash like Bruce Gilden.

Jens Olof Lasthein

I was searching for a Russian photographer that was so great in capturing "nothingness". Didn't find her/him. Instead, I came across Jens Olof Lasthein. He has distinctive signature not only because he uses wide angle panoramic medium but by his way of showing things as well.
