I can’t remember anymore where I found this expired roll of film. I was 4 years old when it was produced! I used it to shoot this protraits of Niamh, a model from Ireland I met when working at Mango as a light designer.
Again this were processed at DubbleLab and scanned at digitized at home with my X-T3 setup.
I started photography school in the year 2000, enrolling in a program called Técnico en Fotografía Digital at the Escuela de Fotografía Creativa de Andy Goldstein. At that time, the school offered a curriculum that was almost entirely analog, focused primarily on black-and-white film, with some introduction to color photography and lab work in the final year.
The school also offered a weekend workshop on digital photography and Photoshop. It was very basic—more of an introduction than a comprehensive course—but it marked the beginning of a transition.
At that time, very few photographers were working with digital cameras, and the first Canon 5D had not yet been released.
I kept all my negatives from that period, along with some prints. Here, I present a selection of images from those years, digitized recently at home using my Fuji X-T3.
A series of images taken between Lisbon and Oporto, when I went to shoot “The Map that leads to you” in 2024, and also some images of our love adventure in Madeira island. All of it shot on my Nikon F90x
Another place where we feel at ease. Time stops, the heat melts the clocks, the siestas are mandatory, the ocean is a warm hug.
I think it’s as it runs in my blood, I feel at home in Italy. Speeding on the highway from Matera to Roma, loving the language, the rudeness, the heat. You are loud, rough and messy, a wild long hair flying in the wind.
I think this was the first roll I shot on my most recent camera, a Canonet G-III QL17 that I found on wallapop. Serviced by the people of Nostalgic, where the previous owner took it, it appears to work very well. And IlfordDELTA 3200 is my favorite film ever. The GIII-QL17 is a the 3rd generation of the Canonet line. This one is a rangefinder camera manufactured in Japan by Canon between 1972 and 1982.
These images are from two rolls of Delta3200 shot on my Nikon F90x before it lost the autofocus (I basically tripped on it’s leash and kicked it from a table rolling a couple of meters down the floor). Some of them were shot in my trip to Donosti, where we were shooting a Basque TV Series and I was working as a DIT. The other was shot in my neighbourhood, SantAndreu, where I usually get my attention called by the town popular “fiestas”.
