Past and present - everything hot!

Meeting some photographer friends for a creative session

Dreaming as a child that the future would have homes in space, flying cars, pills for great food, and trips to the mars for a holiday.

But imagining that utensils of the past - ideas, buildings, and technology - would still be all around us was not on my mind.

Still use a knife and fork for dinner (utensils used for around 4,000 years), love analog cameras, music from vinyl records, and checking the smartphone for the latest news.

In photography, we can buy a digital or a vintage analog camera; publish our pictures online or in a handmade book; be inspired by a contemporary photographer or one from the past. It doesn't matter which technology or process we choose as long as the picture works and we enjoy making it.

I am using a middle format, sometimes 35mm, and large-format cameras with different film stock and paper. In 2022 I will experiment with X-Ray film, donated by a friend, and alongside the traditional processes, I will digitalize everything and give it a different maybe a modern twist.
