2 days in Switzerland visiting Anton @anthonyklinkov
Shot on a 120 film camera with only two shutter speeds (25/75) — the most stripped-down camera I’ve ever used. Every “mistake” made it even more fun to experiment with. Like a kid, I couldn’t wait to see what will come out. No focus in the viewfinder… just you, the camera, and the present moment. Go with the feeling. Everything you see came straight out of the camera. The red bleach, the round cycle which is caused by light shifting, when the light is shining from the side into the lens.
I think it’s really interesting to watch someone else’s work that have no purpose, but just enjoyment.
Sometime I hesitate to much and I can’t choose if I wanna skate or drink tee at home or prepare for war, cause why not. It always better to be better but life is full of hesitation and mistakes. There is always something behind, even doe you think there is no sence, it’s only in eyes of society, but maybe you find purpose in purposelessness like i do sometimes.
Two years ago, It was spring in Paris, it was very hot, and people were topless laying on the grass exposed heat.
It was Mai and the time stopped, under the heat the brain melts, and the beauty appears everywhere. The sound of the cars seems to be an echo in 6 dimensions and the light becomes magic.
This summer 2025 I was in Spain and I walked into a second hand store and this camera was looking at me, after few minutes hesitation… That’s how I bought TLR camera that did work properly and I couldn’t hold myself back from having new experience with Photography.
I said it should help me to change a perspective to see the world around me.
I thing much of Vivian Maiers photography, and I always wanted to have a selfportrait made on Rolleiflex like her.
Voila enjoy the only 4 photographs that came out of this camera.
And a portrait of a beautiful soul Luana who I met during that time, it was nice to meet you @luana_gdv 😊
One day I will fix this camera and have some more experience with that unusual camera.
