I’m a big fan of analogue photography. I get a completely different feeling from these photos. It’s not better or worse, it’s just different. Once as a kid my dad gave me a small Beiretta and some film and I would regularly take pictures and bring them to the collection room to be developed. Then I learned how to develop and enlarge photos at home.
Now I’m slowly getting back into it, and the old cameras are gradually growing on the shelf in my library at home. I like the sound of them, their mechanical clicking. Those moments when I first take the developed film out of the developer and see if any of the photos came out.
One of my favourite old cameras is the Fujica ST701. I got it in Brno in a second-hand shop for a few bucks and as you can see, it was heavily used. And it still works. I just had the seals replaced.
The photos are from a small location near our village. A lot of water there stays year-round and trees thrive in it. It’s a beautiful place.
