I shot slide film in the Alps on my Leica M6. I think I like it too much.

Some Leica M6 Ilford FP4 Plus and Kodak Tri-X 400 shoots from Eisenhüttenstadt, a 1950s planned socialist city in East Germany on the border with Poland. It was like stepping into another reality; the scale of this architecture didn’t match its modest population of 25,000.

Back in Berlin with 28mm goggles on.

Kodak Vision 3 250D scanned at home with Valoi Easy 35. Taken on Isle of Skye with Leica M6. I think I finally like this film stock. #leicam6 #summilux50 #summicron28

I collect photobooks. Some hoard sneakers or vinyl—I hoard expensive paper filled with pictures. Picked up Puglia: Tra Albe e Tramonti by Luigi Ghirri from Bildband. No nostalgia, no grand narrative. Just light, space, and time, doing what they’ve always done. Safe to say I love it.

Berlin truly values photography as an art form. A must-visit: Bildband in Prenzlauer Berg, a photobook shop run by Joe Dilworth (ex-Stereolab) and a hub for Berlin’s photography scene. From book launches to zine workshops, it’s the place to go for any photography lover. #Berlin #Photography

Big night in: just me, some chemicals, and Ilford HP5+

Snow in the Scottish Highlands. #nikonzf #leicam11

The snow gods delivered. First week of the season in Chamonix is always a gamble, but instead of a handful of chips, I’ve hit the jackpot: endless powder. #NikonZf #Chamonix #Flegere #Nikon #FrenchAlps

After doing a photo zine-making workshop in May, I’m now halfway through sequencing my Montreal photo book! Working with a curator to bring it all together. Second half coming in February – still need to figure out how to fund this thing though… it’s not gonna be cheap. Stay tuned! #photobooks

Hello Bluesky. I’m a writer and photographer in Berlin. Here are a couple of photos from the past month shot on my Leica M6 and M11. Also, I started a Substack. No one asked, but I did it anyway.
