| Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, 02/2017 |
Yeah, right. I'm late with my December tradition of looking back on my year in photography.
The thing is not only that I didn't shoot that many films - and those mainly during the first half of 2017 -, but also that probably half of that stuff (if not more) isn't internet-ready yet. That means I have scanned the negatives, but not cleaned the dirt off them and resized them to web resolution.
And if I haven't optimized my pictures yet, I tend to forget them, so even though I haven't produced an overwhelming amount of photography last year, I have an astonishingly bad overview about what I've done.
Finally there's of course that one 35mm film in one of my
La Sardinas, which I needed months and months to fill. Well, there are indeed still a couple of frames left.
So all in all I'm by far not ready to do a proper review of my shit. But I I want to have it done now, so I'll wing it somehow and probably miss one or two things.
Let's start
not with film, but with the two digital themes which went through the whole year and were hardly to miss on this blog:
1. My 52 weeks of
Lensbaby Sunday, presenting one digital shot taken with the
Lensbaby lens each week. Did it stir some new interest and energy in experimenting with my DSLR and this lens? Honestly, not really. Most times I just cranked out something in the last minute. But I also did a couple of nice series, so while not a giant photographic kick this also wasn't for nothing.
Here are a couple of random impressions from my
Lensbaby year:
2. Of course I shot tons of trashy concert pictures with my
Harinezumi cameras again. The newer one, the
Harinezumi 4.0 however only lasted until April. It was obviously not designed to be used as often and frequent as I did.
On the Sunday of
Roadburn Festival its internal battery was empty and couldn't be recharged anymore. Definitely disappointing.
Here are some of its last concert pictures:
And here's the final image before the camera died:
Luckily my Harinezumi 3.0 still lives. Here are come concert pictures I took with it:
Of course I have to mention one shot in particular! I was pretty pleased with my whole set from the Esben And The Witch show at Roadburn, and since that also was one of my favorite shows there, I'm very happy that this picture...
...ended up on the back cover of
the live record:
I seldom used the Harinezumi for non-concert pictures, but for the sake of completeness here are some of those:
So, now finally to some film photographs:
I started into 2017 quite diligently with a couple of - surprise - winterly rolls.

I also dusted my scissors and cut some mask for my
Holga again to revisited
my scissorisms series after a long hiatus, shooting three double exposure films in January and April.

As always April was my busiest month, due to the tourist side programme of my Roadburn stay in Oisterwijk (Netherlands). But I also took pictures in Cologne, Hamburg and at home in Schleswig-Holstein.

... and that was it. I think.
Except for that one film that's still in in my La Sardia Belle Starr of course.
I can't really decide for a definite "favorite picture of the year" this time. Well, if I really had to, I'd choose that Esben And The Witch photograph. Having a Harinezumi picture in the artwork of a "live at Roadburn" album was kind of on my bucket list after all. And it is a good photo, so yeah, that one I guess.
