During the summer of 2026, I decided it was time to give a second chance to my rolls of expired Orwopan 100 that I bought on eBay a while back. My goal was to test out this vintage black-and-white emulsion with a lower ISO setting and see what kind of unique […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Ten years ago this week, I took my camera to Vogelsang for some #urbanexploration. This place used to be more than just a Soviet military base. It used to be a city filled with secrets and soldiers, but today, it lies empty in Brandenburg while it rots away […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

For me, what makes Himmel unter #Berlin such an interesting space for those who enjoy exploring Berlin is the radical ephemerality of it all. The art pieces only exist in these spaces for the time the exhibition lasts. And, like it happened to many of those […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Twenty-three years ago today, I got my nostril dermal punched to 5 mm by Andre Fernandes at Tattoo You in São Paulo. Which means that I have been alive with 4 holes on my nose for longer than the standard 2 holes. Unusual, I know. In the attached image, you […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I believe it is always good to carry a half-frame camera with you everywhere. You have so many pictures to go through before the end of the roll that, occasionally, you can even use it as some kind of photo diary. That's probably what I was going for when I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A few years ago, I went on a hike with a medium-format camera and used an Orwopan 100 film that I thought only expired in the early 2000s. The results I got from it made me realize that this film was, at least, a decade older. And, for that reason, I didn't […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
