Transistor

The water tower in front of the old Bell Labs building in Holmdel, New Jersey (where the show Severance is filmed) is in the shape of a transistor. That’s one of the touches with this building that I love. Chroma Click (half frame mode), Ferrania Solaris 400, ECN-2 development.

A water tower stands in a field with trees on either side. There are houses off to the right, and in the distance a large black glass building can be seen.

No Relation

This was just down the street from the brewery we were headed to. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Beeranol.

A single story storefront has a sign over the door that says “No Relation Vintage Shop”. The wall of the store is painted with multiple identical sets of concentric circles.

For Rent

I don’t spend enough time in Matawan to know what this used to be, and I don’t see the future well enough to know what it will be in the future. Right now, it’s For Rent and has brown paper covering its windows. Chroma Click in half frame mode, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), D-19 high contrast developer.

#BelieveInFilm #HalfFrame #HalfFrameClub

A white brick building with randomly sized bricks has a storefront with its windows covered from the inside with paper. A sign in the window to the left of the door reads “For Rent, JM Properties, Victoria (indistinct) 347-695-7076”. A second floor with windows is partially visible.

Stickers

So thoughtful of New York City to provide these posts for people to put stickers on. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Beeranol.

A post (police phone box?) on an urban sidewalk is covered in stickers.

@thereisnocat we also have #HalfFrameClub for a bit of extra half frame camera action!

Photography is always history, and so is this photo…
The last roll of film of 2025 has delivered its images.

The first photo post of this year also marks the moment when I stopped working professionally for Xmas holidays. And in two days I’ll already be back at it again. From the rehearsal room to the stage, and then on towards a premiere.
But here we’re talking about photographs… I’ve been carrying a Pentax 17 in my pocket for about two years now, and I’m starting to notice that it has its downsides as well. To be honest, I shoot better with an analog SLR or a rangefinder. With the Pentax 17, it always takes me many clicks to get decent results when there’s little light available (such as in rehearsal or theatre spaces). But a larger camera is cumbersome, and it immediately feels, or is perceived, like a photoshoot.
What to shoot as a stagemanager ?

It’s a bit that time of year when we look back on the past year 2025
including what happened here on Pixelfed.

It wasn’t the most important thing that happened in my life in 2025,
but it was certainly exceptional.
Simply cutting the knot and saying, “okay, we’re going to South Korea in the spring.”
A fantastic experience, and of course wonderful to be immersed in a completely different culture, in terms of behaviour, imagery, flavours… basically almost everything.

At some point, I stopped sharing images because I already had a substantial collection.

But in reality, of course, I still have many more analog photos from that trip…

including what happened here on Pixelfed.

I also spent a year walking around with a Pentax 17 around my neck or close at hand. The little thing had already proven itself in the past as a great party camera. But my favourite party photo of 2025 is definitely this one:
https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/873661050184251923

I even had the photo printed, framed it, and hung it on the wall at my workplace.

But most of all, it was a lot of fun at that party !

https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/874674900469151983

But maybe it was all a bit too much – a disposable camera, a Pentax 17, and a glass of wine on the dance floor...

Not at all the first roll of pictures I took with my Pentax 17 anymore...

Went for a wintery walk with the #OlympusPEN EED.

#35mm #halfFrame #halfFrameClub #filmPhotography

A person holding a silver camera in their hand. The camera has a classic design with a circular lens and a textured body. In the background, a misty landscape features a path leading towards a sun partially obscured by fog, with trees and a light post on either side. The ground is frosty, hinting at a cold morning. The overall atmosphere is serene and slightly mysterious due to the fog.

#AnalogPhotography #HalfFrameClub #ExpiredFilm #DoubleExposure

An analog double-exposure photograph of the old brick building of a school, overlaid with lots of bright and blurry lines and stripes. The colours are all faded and strange; the sky ranges from an unnaturally deep blue to a faded magenta, and the bright lines from the double exposure have a yellow tint. Through it all, you can see the tall, curved windows and embellished brickwork of the building, and maybe even barely make out some trees and stone stairs in front of the building.

A double-exposed photograph with three partially overlapping frames. The main frame shows a brown and white, curly-haired dog hiking in a hilly forest. On the left is an upside-down picture of a white house, and on the right, an upside-down picture of a tent and some camping equipment can barely be made out. Those upside-down frames were likely made almost twenty years earlier, by the film roll's previous owner.

I already mentioned it in my account text :

It’s hard to find any daily sense of order, so I try to create it in my collections.

https://pixelfed.social/c/807685723968359497

but this is also an advantage: the freedom to change subjects instantly. Putting the Chinon aside for a moment, the subject is now Marseille, specifically a seaside spot that’s wonderful for swimming.

A diptych from under the bridge. Even though it was the middle of summer, a thick fog suddenly crept in from the sea and rolled onto the land.
And of course taken with one of my all-time favourites, the Olympus Pen EES-2 half-frame!

I took a moment to scroll through the archive. A #diptych #onfilm made with an #Olympus #Pen #halfframe.

I already presented this photo https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/897057690489753943
along with an exhibition and a subject from a few years ago.

This photo really made it back then and was enlarged into a 3-meter-wide poster. Considering it came from a half-frame 35mm negative, that was actually quite an achievement… For years, “the Mary” or “the Bernadette” hung above the bar.

The experience of photographing and exhibiting in a former rectory subtly influenced the trajectory of my work, as elements of religious symbolism and reference began to emerge.

It was during a period when everything started to go wrong. I managed to get myself an Olympus Pen EES-2 for a reasonable price, but during the first test with #model S., I already noticed that something wasn’t right with the little camera. The focusing ring didn’t move the lens. The previous owner had bought it from a Brit who claimed to be a specialist in Pen repairs, but later turned out to be rather incompetent (I sent him that camera and two others for repair, and they came back still not working). My Voigtländer went to Amsterdam twice for repairs, and in the end it was me who discovered the real problem after two years...
