After 6 months of remodeling (the experience of which I do not even wish upon my worst enemies) finally the new apartment is finished. A good reason to try out my new digital Hasselblad back. Yes, I finally gave in... Always an adversary of digital shots because of the lack of profoundness in the image compared to negatives, I had to admit that with 39 Megapixels (122 MB file size, more than my scans) and 16 bits of depth the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Although it is a HELL of an investment in a country like Colombia where dayrates are a fraction of those elsewhere, and you never know what will happen next week (especially in an election year).

However, I am very pleased with my new toy. It really makes photographing a different experience. And yes, it loses a bit of its 'magic' as well...

The 'photo of the month' is not meant as something pretentious, it is not even chosen by any jury. It could be an advertising photo I did, or a photo for a magazine or record cover. Something telling you of a journey I made or the city I'm in. Or a snapshot of my girlfriend. The only criterium it has to meet is that it was made in the last month. And that I believe it is worth bothering you with...
I am very sorry for the not-very-personal tone and character of this mail - you may or may not remember me, we might have met in some sleazy bar in some part of the earth and exchanged emails, we might be colleagues or best friends, or just share an interest in photography. We might have worked or even lived together in the past.
Of course, if you would not like to receive any more mails just let me know and I will remove you from the list.
And if you know of other people that might like to receive it please let me know as well...
Thanks for your time and hope you are well!
