I wasn't planning on buying a Mamiya RZ67 at the end of 2024… But when someone I know offered me one at a good price, it was hard to say no.  I'm telling this story here because I believe this is the first picture I ever took with that camera. I went to a parking lot not far from where I live and tried to figure out how to shoot with this massive medium-format beast of a camera. I think I understand it a bit better now, but I need to take it out of the house more often.  📷 Mamiya RZ67  🎞️ Ilfo

I know that nobody pays attention to the text here, but, as I said before, during my last trip to London, I tried to go to places that I had never gone to before. One of these places was Greenwich since I wanted to be able to cross the Greenwich Meridian.  But the most interesting thing to me was that I took a ferry there from the London Bridge City Pier, and it was pretty cool to be able to see the city from an entirely different angle. And for the price of public transportation.  That was th

During Easter 2026, I decided to put a bad idea into practice, and I cycled from Berlin to the German border with Poland. My goal was simple: I wanted to buy some Polish sausages for the first barbecue of the season. So there I went with my bike, and 100 km later, I got my sausages. I thought the weather would be a bit sunny, so I loaded my Lomo LC-A+ with a LomoChrome Classic film, but… As you can see in the pictures here, I didn't work out during the entire trip. Still, I like the results, so

I don't know why, but I packed my camera and some cheap black-and-white film and left the house. These pictures were taken in the middle of summer 2024 in #Berlin.  It's not clear what the point was, but it's another picture of Neukölln from the years I've lived there. I like what came out of it. 📷 Lomography LC-A+ 🎞️ AGFA 400 #BelieveInFilm  #FilmIsNotDead  #FilmPhotography  #AnalogPhotography

These are some simple pictures from frozen days around Rathaus Neukölln. Back in early January 2026. I think these are from a morning when I went to a supermarket for my weekly grocery shopping, but I might be wrong. Still, based on the time on the clocks, it might make sense. 📷 Lomography LC/A+ 🎞️ AGFA 400 +1 #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #analogphotography

I think it was around October 2025 when I got the Lubitel-166 Olympics from my girlfriend and went on a walk around the forests in Hennigsdorf. This was the first time I ever used this camera, and based on the images here, you can see that mistakes were made. I think I missed some bit of information on how to move the film after a picture. It seems to me like I only moved it forward half of what needed to be done. My bad, my mistake. At least I got several interesting-looking pictures with a b

This is another picture from Totensonntag, the annual date of #Berlin's Crematorium Day. Crematoria in Berlin show people how cremation works that day, and you can visit some of these places around town. I finally managed to get in with my medium-format camera, attempting to capture as many images as possible after years of trying to figure it out. I brought my camera with me to the Baumschulenweg Cremation Ground that cold Sunday. A building made of concrete that caught my eye the first time I

If you have been looking at my pictures here for a while now, you know I like going to cemeteries. I mostly go around the ones in Neukölln, Kreuzberg, and Tempelhof, and while researching interesting places in them, I discovered the Friedhof Columbiadamm. This military cemetery between Hasenheide and Tempelhof has been there since 1861 and has war graves from the Franco-Prussian War, the German Civil War of 1866, the First and Second World Wars, and the colonial war in Africa. This last one cau

My friends and I went to a pumpkin festival in Brandenburg at the beginning of November 2025. And, of course, I had to bring my camera with me.  Too bad I only took a black and white roll of film to the event, and I missed all the pumpkin colors. It happens. At least you can get a little idea of what the festival was about. 📷 Canon L-1 🎞️ Wolfen NP100 #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #analogphotography

I first passed by the Terrasstrapporna in Helsingborg when I first reached Sweden by bike on my way to Oslo. I spotted the Kärnan tower from afar, and I rode in that direction, but I didn't expect to see such a set of stairs. At the time, I didn't want to carry my bike up those stairs, so I just took a picture and rode away. A few months ago, I was back in Helsingborg for a couple of hours, and this time I could go up Terrasstrapporna and see the Kärnan tower. 📷 Lomography LC-A+ 🎞️ Ilford Delta

Inside the Krematorium Baumschulenweg: Concrete, Light, and Shadows

Most people that come to Berlin for a few days end up exploring the same places, like the Berlin Wall or the shopping options around Mitte. The most profound experiences in the city, however, can be found in its most serene areas. Hidden away in Treptow, you will find the Krematorium Baumschulenweg that stands as a radical departure from traditional funeral architecture.

Britzer Mühle, finding Windmills in #Berlin

The Britzer Mühle is one of the eight remaining windmills in Berlin and it is the only surviving windmill that used to exist in Britz. I discovered the place completely by accident when I was taking my bike for a long walk to Brandenburg. Once I was at Buckower Damm, I saw this weird shaped thing on the corner of my eye and I had to stop my bike. That weird shape was the Britzer Mühle and this is how everything started out.
