Nothing in Singapore is forever, including entire neighbourhoods you have all your memories in.

I took a walk around Tanglin Halt, which is going to be torn down and redeveloped, and will be completely different from the one of my childhood the next time I return.

This device is a communal incense burner. Taoists (mostly) use them for offerings during holy days/ months, and instead of sticking wax and candles into the ground, they put their stuff in here.

Roker Lighthouse, Sunderland. An outing for one of my film cameras, my Bronica SQa. I even metered from a Weston MasterIV!.

Today is the five-year anniversary of my wife and me leaving Germany to move to Japan.

An opportunity to take a fond look back at the area in which we had lived. Tübingen is a traditional university town located around 30km south of Stuttgart, with an impossibly picturesque historic city center.

All photos shot with Mamiya 6 and 50mm f/4 lens on Fujicolor Pro 400H medium-format film.

Four shots from Arashiyama on the western outskirts of Kyoto. The area has shrines and temples, a bamboo forest and a bridge that is known for its views of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves on the adjacent mountains.

All photos shot with Mamiya 6 and 50mm f/4 lens on Fujicolor Pro 400H medium-format film. Note how the color palette is slightly different than the Kodak one on the Kōenji set.

Hi everyone, I am Norbert, a Data Architect and photography enthusiast living in Tokyo. I am mostly going to post travel and daily life photography, topics related to my Japanese Language learning, impressions from cafés that I went to (or newly discovered), and some other random musings. よろしくお願いします。

With this one, while I really like the composition, I sadly missed the focus quite a bit. Not sure why.

Also the scan has this weird vertical line going through it. I'll have to check whether the camera did that or the scanning process. It shows up in most shots from this batch and has be slightly worried.

(EDIT: added the retouched version. It cleaned up ok and some sharpening helped a lot. Still, could have been better. But I do like it.)

"For a moment she’d wondered if the seal around her sockets were tight enough to allow the tears simply to go on and fill up the entire lens space and never dry. She could carry the sadness of the moment with her that way forever, see the world refracted through those tears, those specific tears, as if indices as yet unfound varied in important ways from cry to cry.”

—Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Photo of frothy white ocean waves rolling in over an otherwise empty beach on a very cloudy day. A couple dark sea stacks - rock formations near a coast - are visible in the distance. The scene is covered by vertical shafts of translucent white gradients, like a ghostly curtain. This is the result of a light leak, where the camera film was accidentally exposed with extra light.

“It seems to me I am trying to tell you a #dream — making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream-sensation, that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams.”
