Performance
There’s an art performer in my house. Someone call the police?

I had a chance to shoot a wedding alongside Aife. The photos came out as beautiful as I could have ever hoped; alas, time and motivation are in short supply as I’m still editing the previous wedding. It’s a never-ending story… I did some crunchtime by the end of the last year and managed to finish editing all pending work; this blissful emptiness of the “current projects” folder lasted for two whole days. Not that I mind; the feeling of having nothing to do was actually pretty unnerving.
PS. My concept of “drive safely home” is loading film while negotiating tight curves in weather conditions that make you actually obey the speed limits.

Colors are completely off. Instead of focusing on the important aspects of photography – like choosing the best set of photos – I’m painstakingly moving the white balance slider 50 degrees left or right, trying to find a point where the scene looks at least half-natural. It takes all the joy away. I don’t want to be a photographer anymore. Why the hell did I agree to shoot color in the first place?

Fenomenalna Dżo. Jeśli będziecie kiedyś w Łodzi, dajcie się upolować jej analogowi!

I shot a wedding on Delta 3200 rated at 1600 and carefully developed in Ilfotec DD-X. The results are stunning. I can hardly tell it’s a high-speed, high-contrast film… it’s better in tonality than HP5+ in D-76. Amazing.
