1 day 1 roll, a short story about photos.

I woke up, it was a dark, cloudy and rainy day, it was Sunday. I was alone and since the moment I got out of bed I was feeling a particular atmosphere. A mixture of feelings and sensations coming to my head at once.

The light of that day was so magical I decided to have a quick shower and go out for breakfast. So I loaded a roll and headed out for the best place to eat.

It was starting to rain but nothing uncomfortable, the town was almost empty, it was as if i was living a dream. And as I love this kind of days and I got the whole stage for me to photograph I tried to take the most out of it.

So, after this kind of introduction in a novel-ish shape here are the photos. I tried to take them only within 2-4 hours but only 2 of them were taken at the end of the day. That was a thing I wanted to do for some time but somehow it happened spontaneously I didn't think a lot about the pictures I just let myself go and that's what came out. 

I hope you enjoy them :)

A mountain dream

As always, whenever I can, I love to get lost in the mountains and get out of the stressful city.

That time, after a few months of stress and nerves, has arrived. But this time I decided to bring a different kind of equipment with me, normally I would carry a 5kg bag with almost all my gear, 3 or 4 cameras with lenses accessories and so on. But I thought that this time I would like to enjoy as much as possible the experience instead of spending all the time and my strength thinking about the gear and the photos. So I just brought my GoPro and the little fuji X100.

So here is a different "style" of images (as the camera/lens used is very different to what I normally use) of this amazing 2 day adventure and about 30km with a 900m total elevation gain.

Castell de Castellcir

About two weeks ago I went to an old castle ruins. And to experiment a little bit I decided to bring both my film and 1 digital camera, the little fuji X100 that was collecting dust at home.

Here are just a couple shots I took which were taken based on a project I'm now working on.

Quick Update

Well, it's been a long time since I posted something and I don't want you to think that this blog is dead. Not even close.

From the beginning of this year I've been devoted to film photography. Basically I haven't used a digital camera for my personal photography since December of 2014.

I've added one more step into my film photography. Until now I developed my own B&W film at home. Now I've started digitizing myself as well, so I've got complete control over my photos.

Below is one of my first attempts on digitizing film with a dslr and some extension tubes, although this concrete photograph has been made only with a 50mm lens.

Be sure to come back as in these last two months I've been traveling and exploring some places and there are plenty of photos and projects to come to the blog and the web.

Norderney on film pt.1

---

Last summer (2014) I went to Germany, concretely to an Island which I didn't know of its existence, in fact, as my german geography is almost non-existent I didn't even know that Germany had Islands. 

But without even thinking about it (only a few hours ruminating) I accepted the proposition of going there to work (2 months) and therefore improve my german.

I must admit that my relationship with the island is something very peculiar, let me explain why:

I went there completely alone. So, when I arrived there, I found myself in a foreign country, don't know how many km far away from home and with a language which I had barely spoken in the last few months. (Must say it looked promising right?).

So here starts my definition of the island: It's a beautiful and a too small for anyone used to living in a city piece of land (only 12km long and barely 2km wide). And while it's a really beautiful place I had one of the worst experiences there. A few weeks there were like living in hell, countless hours of work and a solitude accompanied by the deserted island after 4-5pm plus it's never summer there( as the weather changed every 2 hours and the temperature was always cold) made an interesting cocktail which I hope to be shown and transmitted in the photos I took, as my only escape and therapy there was to have a bike ride with my cameras and walk walk walk, countless hours of walking in the endless beaches of the island.

Overall I can say it was useful, I learned a lot there (both from life and spiritually, even when having a bad time, that helped me specially) but I say this now, after almost 4 months of being back from there. Nobody can imagine how much I hated that island and how nostalgic it's making me right now to see the photos from it.

After all this amount of words here comes what I think about Norderney: I deeply hate and like this piece of beautiful landscapes hell.

Siurana

---

It's a blessing having met a person who shares my passion for getting lost and going to adventures. I want to take the most out of this time when I'm able to leave and make this little escapes on the weekends.

This time the chosen place was Siurana, a little town on the top of a mountain cliff located in the Priorat, a region of Catalonia.

This little town has barely 20 people living there and it's interesting not only for the majestic views of the valley and the lake but for its history, as it was one of the last redoubt places of the muslim domination in Catalonia.

I've got to admit that I felt really isolated and teleported to another time and place rather than being in the 21st century in Catalonia. The sensation of isolation and the immensity of the landscapes were a nice mixture of feelings and sensations.
