A Cold Morning In Norway
There are cold days in western Norway at the moment, but no snow so far in 2026.
Will I leave…
I am considering shutting down this website. I don't know why...
I've thought it's been fun to share photographs and I've seen visitors from all over the world.
I'll have to think about it...
More Analog In 2026
My name is LYKKE and my tooth are gone
I love black and white photography. I wish I had the Leica MP…
Being in love with analogue photography is about a deep love for the tangible, the authentic and the time-consuming in the photographic process. In a world where digital dominates and everything moves quickly, analogue photography offers a kind of calm and patience that many appreciate. Working with film, manually adjusting the camera, and the developing process itself gives a closeness to the image that often feels more personal and real.
Falling in love with analogue photography can also be about an aesthetic – the unique grainy expression, the colors and the contrasts which are often difficult to reproduce digitally. Each exposure becomes like a small work of art, where you cannot see the result immediately, which creates an expectation and tension that enhances the experience.
For many, analogue photography becomes a form of meditation and experimentation, where mastering the technique is an important part of the joy. There is a love for the whole process, from choosing a roll of film, setting camera settings, to waiting for the images to be developed and discovered. This slow, hand-crafted approach provides a deeper connection to photography – an infatuation with the very art of capturing the moment in a unique and timeless way.
Leica Digilux 1 (2002)
I have a Leica Digilux 1 from 2002 which looks like new. The last picture taken with this was back in 2014. Now I got hold of a new battery and new pictures have been taken. I am attaching one of the pictures. Read more about what Thorsten Overgaard writes about this camera here.
