2003 versus 2016

18 years ago I was 20 and shot tons of film with different analog cameras.
So I was frequenting the one hour lab very very much, so much that I went working in a photo shop for almost 2 years afterwards.

The picture on the left one was made by a friend with my Lomo LC-A, at a one hour photo lab, good old days, faded glory... Good memories.

I've been scanning a couple of older photos lately

2021

A couple of years ago I read a book about meditation by Sharon Salzberg and I came to realize that we are not the thinking voice we hear in our head, we are not the chatter we think we are. But then, who are we?

We all cling on objects, emotions and thoughts that pass by like fish in a river, but these are not reality.

Last years I've been reading a lot of books about mental and personal growth where such topics are treated. I was always curious to read Michael Singer's book 'The Untethered Soul' where he explains how we can detach our 'Self' from our mind and body and explore who we really are. How we actually using our mind the wrong way.

A great book about spiritual growth, that gave me lots of insights in a couple of interesting yoga topics, to liberate yourself from the perceptual reality you think you live in.

A Double Exposure selfie when cooling down after some workout.


Hopefully it gets a bit colder as I'm going to do this daily the coming week(s) as long as there's snow.

-2°C is not really 'freezing' isn't it. A cold shower feels worse in my opinion.


I challenge you to do the same. It's good for building up a good immune system.


The tree behind me is the Sequoia that I planted with my daughters a couple of years ago, it was around 50 cm high, now he's around 3 meters I guess.

I will let nature take its course for 30-40 years and see how you fare. If you're healthy, I will give it a try

Low key day today.

My wife shot me shooting my Minolta Maxxum 9 and the under rated 28-85. Sunset pictures on sunset Beach. I love that the Minolta mirror lockup is activated by the time setting. Finished up my roll of fuji Xtra 400, on to the portrait 400. Cheap a** Promised tripod my wife bought me to leave at the condo, this crap has to go.

My hands are looking healed up in the pic, better than in person. I've lost 60 lbs again, now just have to get rid of that belly.
