Matthias Kodym Photoblog

I was commissioned for some work (not on this blog) in Hong Kong in September, this is the first part from two. I Stayed 2 weeks in Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island, with days off in Kowloon and Macau. This was my first time in Asia, needless to say it was overwhelming in all ways!

Digital and Colornegative images are mixed here, the first person who figures out at least 2 analog images gets a free 20×30 print of choice for free!

For a photographer the adventure almost beginns at the airport :)

Victoria Harbour, they extending land here..

I saw 2 dogs in 2 weeks, this one definitely gave me a smile

Prenzlauer Berg

Hackescher Markt

and later we had some “currywuast”…no not really…

Some rolls from the last weeks. no words just pictures.

Tech: Color ones, M7, 50/2.0, Kodak Ektar 100. B/W M8, 50/2.0 and M7, TMY 400, 6×7, Mamiya 7, Expired Slide Film;

We had a lot of bad weather lately, also focusing with a rangefinder on a  motive like this is not easy actually when you are drunk. I somehow like it.

More randomness below.

Kerstin and me on a secret mission to Schönbrunn

and some shots from my so called “living-room camera” it is an old Nikon L35 AF2 on some expired color negative.

This is Sebastian.

Lets start this entry with an shot i found on an roll i forgot to develop. Its from last summer.

Schottentor

The first B/Ws from the Leica. I realised that the M is not an point and shoot so you have to focus very carefully.

I will think about that next time ;)

Some outtakes from the Südbahnhof, Kurt loves Film.
