I guess the wrecked frame, the color shifts and the blurryness make this one of my favorite landscapes of 2012.

Earlier I talked about the modification for the Diana Mini I did, and this is the result of those long overlapping pictures.

You know, once the light is perfect, the mood is perfect, you can’t stop at one good picture, you take a couple of them.
I guess Eva already knew this and really enjoyed us being out there and shooting great pictures.

DIANA MINI - LOMOGRAPHY XPRO CHROME 100(by maxwellmaxen on Lomography)
After the trigger of my Diana Mini broke off in Canada last year, I let it sit for quite some time. It was clear that this would happen sooner or later, being a very cheaply produced Camera. Still it hurt, because it was my first Lomo Camera and I’ve been half around the world with it. So this was basically the reason why i did not throw it out.
I thought about it, and came to a solution. cutting out the frame for half format let’s me shoot endless strips and overlapping pictures, experimental stuff that has no practical use at all, but might be fun. As a trigger i used a screwdriver to poke into the cable-release hole. It all works.
I guess I shot this picture in November 2011, but finished the film somewhere around the end of January 2012, so it got processed in 2012 and thus is labelled 2012.
This is Eva, enjoying the forest, colorful leaves and of course the sun. A picture that has, even though it’s darkness, a beautiful meanig for me and thus is part of the 2012 review.

The next shot from my review.
I have always been fascinated with deconstruction and tearing down of buildings. This special one has a certain meaning for me. My mother worked a long time in the building next to it and so i’ve seen this on at least a weekly basis, because i went to visit the newsroom she worked in at least once a week. I loved how it smelled there, how everyone worked, how something new got made on a daily basis.
Right now they are building amazing new housing there, so to the win of a tearing down picture, i also got new nice buildings instead of old ones.

Besides the Dirt on the Film, this is one of my favorite Landscapes I have shot this year.

Last Week has been a pretty intense week for me, if you look at it photographically. I got my Lumix GH2, and this also meant dropping the Mirror as a Main Camera for the first time in almost seven years. I went from DSLR to MFT and as for now I am perfectly happy and think, that this has been the right choice.
I’ve been shooting more than most of the time before, and I’ve gotten pretty nice results from shooting street in Zurich and doing Rimlights with my friends. I am also planning for Action Shots, but this has to wait until my exams are done.
Honestly, this year has so far been the year I made the most progress in: I started to shoot 120 seriously, I started to process B&W and Color at home, I got into shooting with flashes, I travelled to a country I would have never gone to, because of Photography.
I guess my processes and workflow have gotten better, more efficient and more satisfying.
Now it’s the middle of November already and the time of reviewing the past year has come and I think I will post some of my favorite shots in chronological Order over the next 1,5 months.
Dear friends and followers, my blog, my content and my photography would not be what it is today if you would not be here. If you would not pay attention, my audience and my exposure would be smaller. I’m grateful for every bit of feedback and wanted to say thank you for sticking with me.
To start the review, I give you the City of Baden, shot at January 2nd 2012. My first self-processed 120 Film, i guess my favorite City shot that I have ever done.
