Shadow Sister / Project X

 

Shadow sister

Walking into the night,

nil remorse.

No way on looking back,

Alone as the dark becomes your closest ally.

Shadow sister.

Nothing to fear,

as you reach deeper into the dark.

Blinded and hopeless is the way forward,

into the void.

Brother of will

See you ego disappear,

become nothing with the night.

Warmth and comfort very distant now,

delete yourself from all.

Father of freedom

Random encounters on your mind,

Kill ‘em all, let your imagination roam free.

As you become one with nothing,

nothing at all.

Mother of death

Alone in the woods, at the right place at the right moment

Nothing matters but the breath you carry within you, full of life

Nothing precious labeled with you name now, title-less roamer

Discovering the deep, your own dimension covers all

Blading in Berlin

In the time span of a couple of weeks I ended up shooting a couple of rolls, 4 to be exact, of mixed outdated 120 film (with the 503cx Hasselblad 2.8/f 80mm). The result was a very mixed bag of dicks to be honest. Since I don't develop my own film here in Berlin and I do not have a film scanner either, it was all up to the local "developer" up the street to get it done in a proper way. The combination of heavily outdated 120 film pushed 2-stops and whatever way he uses to develop/scan gave me some rather interesting results. I have had this camera now for quite some time and know how the lightmeter in the viewfinder reads certain lights in certain angles, I trust my ability to get it somewhat in the mood and style that I can say is 'mine'.  I never push or pull my film so that was a first and what I got was unexpected. In some frames you can see traces of the developing chemical, on some (but not all so I take it was a developing error somewhere down the line) you can see parallel and vertical drag marks and lines, see the Alexander Platz TV tower image and you see what I mean. I have to admit that Lightroom saved what could be salvaged in some images I display here below, mainly by just simply adding contrast. Never mind, a part of me like and can see the organic stamp these images brings out, one part of me couldn't care less as the reluctantly lazy Less-Than-Careful photographer in me sees this as another stance on the everlasting mantra - an image is an image is an image.

And a couple of happy digital Selfies
