After smartphone and Digital Harinezumi live music pictures, as well as "regular" Harinezumi pictures and film photos on 35 mm and Instamatic film, it's time for my last look back on 2022 with everything medium format!
My 6x6 / 6x9 / 6x12 cm photography has very much been informed by my recent stash of long expired Eastern-German (Orwo) and Ukrainian (Svema) black and white films. The quality of the rolls varies a lot. One roll which I had loaded into my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye failed so hard even for my standards that I didn't even bother scanning it.
From another film I only scanned one frame where I could see at least something... and surprisingly the flickr algorithm decided to make it my currently tenth most popular picture over there.

| Ansco Pioneer + Svema Foto 250 (expired 12/1990) |
In March I devoted a blog post to this frame plus a whole roll of equally borderline - but quite cool - results.

Yes, there was a little splash of colour! All pictures from that film can be seen HERE!
The only other time I shot medium format in colour was... well, it was almost the same time and location and happened on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2022:
 |
| Agfa Clack Pinhole + expired Lomography Redscale 100 |
Those weren't my only pinhole pictures of the year though. I had already shot one film with the Holga Wide Pinhole Camera 120 in March:
 |
| Holga WPC 120 + Orwo NP27 (expired 06/1986) |
 |
| Holga WPC 120 + Orwo NP27 (expired 06/1986) |
My "regular" Holga sadly also didn't receive more attention than one roll from me...
 |

 |

Another "one roll" cam of 2022 was the Belair x 6-12 Jetsetter. But at least I got the assurance that it still works! The whole film can be seen HERE!
 |
| Belair x 6-12 + Orwo NP15 (expired 07/1989) |

I shot a bunch of films with the good old 1950's Adox Golf folding camera. A couple of those popped up here and there in this blog before, like those I took on my Netherlands trip in October.

Last but not least I tried to revive the good old tradition of medium format live music photography with a new installment of the Roadburn 6x6 series after many years of hiatus. I got some nice results - until unfortunately my shutter cable broke. And of course I didn't bring a spare one.
Well, in not even three months from now I'll get another chance!
