Glad to hear you're an Ilford fan too! Thanks so much for your kind words and the compliment

An analog black and white photograph captures a stage moments before a jazz concert. The dimly lit scene features an upright bass standing prominently on the left, its reflective surface catching the faint light. To its right, a drum kit and a microphone stand are set up, awaiting the musicians. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet anticipation, characteristic of the calm before a live performance.

"Before the Jazz Begins"

What a welcome change after days of rain!

Analog photo of a building and a tree at night, illuminated by soft light. Great mood.

"Eerie Night Glow"

Turns out, ordinary buildings look pretty epic when shot on film after dark. And that tree... A true natural model.

Thanks a lot.
I'm very happy about that.

A black and white photograph captures the illuminated entrance of a building at night. The architectural lines of the steps and overhead canopy are emphasized by the contrast of light and shadow, with a subtle glow from the "SPARKASSE" sign in the distance.

That's a good question: with my Retina camera, it's possible to advance the film during exposure. I don't think that was ever intended. 😁

It's fascinating how a still image can evoke such strong sensory memories. Thanks for sharing that!

The exciting perspectives are always the ones where you take photos in an uncomfortable position. 😉

Thank you very much. Hearing that from a talented photographer makes me happy.

This close-up, black and white analog photograph captures the intricate details of a flute. The smooth, metallic surface reflects light, creating highlights and shadows that emphasize the instrument's elegant curves and key mechanisms. The shallow depth of field blurs the background, drawing focus to the flute's craftsmanship.

Thank you!

A musician is shown playing a saxophone on stage. The scene is lit with stage lights, creating a dynamic and engaging visual. The soulful breath of the saxophone fills the air, a musician lost in melody, weaving magic through sound. A moment of pure musical artistry.

A black and white photograph taken at hip level, showing a bustling market alleyway. People walk through the narrow passage lined with stalls covered by awnings. Various goods appear to be for sale on either side, though the details are somewhat obscured by the contrast and shadows. The ground is uneven and scattered with debris. Light filters in from the open sky above the awnings, creating areas of bright contrast with the deep shadows.

A hip-level view into a lively market.

This black and white photograph captures a close-up view of a metal wine bottle rack filled with several empty wine bottles. The rack is positioned diagonally across the frame, creating dynamic lines.

Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate it.

I'm really glad to hear that!

This black and white photograph captures a symmetrical passage, its vanishing point drawing the viewer's eye into the depths of the image. The tunnel is illuminated by a series of evenly spaced lights, creating a contrast between the illuminated sections and darkness that frames them. The geometric precision of the architecture, with its angular supports and rigid lines, is softened by the organic presence of foliage on either side, blurring the sharp boundaries of the constructed space.

Light and Shadow

As the light and shadow guide us in the photograph, so do moments of clarity and challenges guide us through life.
