I'm currently working on a few prints from my medium format archive and will be sharing some old favorites from my analogue period.

This image was captured with a Hasselblad 501 and 80mm lens on Velvia. Typical Arctic birch forest interior.

I really miss working with a manual camera. It made me feel so much more connected to the things I photographed. The slow working pace and expense of film meant that all my hikes were as much about "being in nature" as they were about photography. I would work a scene for a long time before even setting up the camera and tripod, and once I had released the shutter I knew that it would be a few weeks before I'd see the results. And what an exciting moment it was when my developed films arrived in the mail and I could unroll the 12 6x6 frames and looked at them on the light table. Pure bliss...

It looks spectacular in print. This is where a busy scene like this really shines. Have made this one into a 70cm x 70cm mounted on a thin cardboard plate before framing. It is part of a tripthyc from the same area.

I like this a lot.
