Black & White

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.” – Ansel Adams’

It’s back to basic with simple black and white photography for a while.

Mostly using my Pentax ME Super with a Pentax 50mm, (scans to digital from film), and my old trusty battle scarred street camera, the Canon 5D with Carl Zeiss 2/35 Distagon ZE T*.

This is an old post from 2015 – 2016… so in 2021 I also use Ricoh GR ( my sixth GR actually, and second one with APS-C size sensor ) A Fujifilm X-Pro1 and a Fujifilm X-E1. Love the GR series but not a big fan of the Ricoh GR III. Have tested GR 3 but it’s too small, no flash and different and not so good positive film effect made me return it after one day.

Instead i bought an older APS-C 2013 model GR again. Great camera.
Ricoh / Pentax please bring back flash and get some weather sealing for the Ricoh GR IV / 4.

This is just a blog. Not a portfolio. So random everyday photos only ..

Friend and Photographer Øyvind Holm Edvardsen with some of he’s photos. From a photo exhibition in Old Town Fredrikstad 2019.

Doing daily workout. A friend of the family i stayed at in Thailand.

Six photos above is from Thailand. A story to every one of them. Maybe I will share more from Thailand someday. Thailand is one of the most wonderful country I have visited so far. The thai people are very helpful and kind.
