One of the first thoughts when we moved to our current flat, an apartment house build in the 1950's, was to create a portfolio of the house. Most common parts of the building are still pretty much like they were where originally, or at least I think so. There is just something mystic about the old attic and cellar of the house. Almost from the start I decided to take all the photographs with an old camera also, my Pentax ME. I only have one lens for it, 50mm f1.7 kit lens, so all photographs has been taken with it. I have now taken three rolls of film mainly for this portfolio. This week I for the first time scanned the negatives and there is still some fine tuning to be done. I'll be adding images to this page as I get them ready. Old Chair at the Attic:
I found this old chair laying around in the attic. Somehow the simplicity got to my eye and I took a few pictures of it. Taken with Kodak Professional BW400CN film. Stairs: There is no elevator in the house, so stairs have become familiar... Closeup from the stairs close to street door. This photo is from the basement. There are individual storage rooms for all the flats. All nicely locked with a padlock. I basically like the image very much but I have a problem. I already strongly desaturated the colors of this image, but still I'm not convinced that it fits to the same portfolio with the two other images. This is the first time that I'm trying to create some kind of portfolio and I think it is very important that all the images in the portfolio really fit together. Well, lets see how it continues. |
