  • Back to analogue – Part 2: Vienna Classic Days with Yashica Electro 35

    Back to analogue – Part 2: Vienna Classic Days with Yashica Electro 35

    One week ago my camera collecting friend, photographer Reinhard Prenn (the one who passed on his analogue bug, which by now has seriously infected me), brought me a new old camera to try out: The Yashica Electro 35. This was not the camera I was initially supposed to shoot with for this project, but there…

    Back to analogue – Part 1: Venice, lomified

    I grew up with analogue photography, but after I started using a digital camera some 20 years ago I never looked back. Until now, that is.
