A photographer friend and I have been thinking about a trip to take photos for some days and we decided to visit Sofia, Bulgaria. This is just a short write-up about my experiences there and some photos from Sofia.
Lab-Box: Kickstarter update
It still seems that this Kickstarter – as opposed to what I heard about so many other hardware projects on Kickstarter – will really deliver and maybe even be on time.
They sent two recent updates and I just wanted to point you to the latest one as it shows some progress in the development of the box.
Looking back: no couchsurfing in Iran
The plan
Recently I noticed more and more articles about people travelling Persia or – as it’s called nowadays – Iran.
There is a very popular book about couchsurfing in Iran which seems to inspire a growing number of people to have a look at this unknown, wild and interesting country by themselves.
While we did not use the couchsurfing platform at all, my girlfriend and I travelled through Iran in October 2016 and as it seems Iran is getting more and more popular for travellers and there is a growing demand in information on Iran while the country is slowly opening up to the west again.
So I decided to write a bit about our experiences there in retrospective because I started this blog only after we came back.
Instagram for analog photography
Ever since I take most of my photo on film, developing and scanning my own films included, I felt that this might be interesting to other people as analog photography is quite a trend nowadays. So I thought about additionally sharing these photos on the currently very popular service Instagram. There has been a lot of buzz about this picture sharing platform and I just thought “Why not?”
Let me share my thoughts and experiences with you after a year on Instagram.

The ultimate Contax T2 write-up
Alright – “the ultimate Contax T2 write-up”? Not quite! Almost everything has been said about this camera already and I can just give you my opinion on it.
I know that the Contax T2 is a very sought-after camera for many analog enthusiasts so I’d like to share my personal thoughts on it which might or might not help you decide if this camera suits you or not. Of course there are many great articles around about this camera but maybe you’ll get an additional perspective from my first impressions here.
