Well this is a first, I've shot more rolls of 120 during the first half of 2025 than I did of 135. It's 30 vs. 28 for number of rolls. I've equaled my entire 2024 total for 120 film in the first six months of 2025. Perhaps I have #FolderWeek to blame for it.

This black and white photograph captures a nostalgic scene featuring an old caravan parked in front of a house with a steep, tiled roof. The caravan has drawn curtains and visible signs of wear, suggesting it has not been moved in some time. The shadow of bare branches falls across its side, adding texture and atmosphere to the image. In the background, the house exhibits a mix of modern and traditional European architectural elements, with visible brickwork, stucco walls, and a chimney. The overall mood is quiet and slightly melancholic, evoking memories of past travels and stillness in the present.

This is a black-and-white photograph of a quiet residential street. The road is paved with interlocking bricks and runs alongside a wooden fence. A small car is parked near the fence, next to a covered well. Behind the car is a two-story house with siding, multiple windows, and a satellite dish mounted on the side. There are utility poles with wires stretching across the scene. Leafless trees, some with large clumps of mistletoe, are visible in the background, indicating an early spring setting. The overall mood of the photo is calm and slightly nostalgic, enhanced by the monochrome tone and film-like aesthetic.

The image is a black and white photograph that captures a tranquil scene by the edge of a body of water. In the upper portion, we see a grassy and slightly muddy shoreline with a few tree trunks. The lower and central parts of the image feature water reflecting the trees and sky above. The reflection is distorted by ripples in the water, creating an abstract, wavy pattern that gives the image a dynamic and somewhat surreal quality. The photo appears to be taken on film and scaned of a darkroom print, as evidenced by the black border and visible edge markings at the top and bottom.

Big rock is big.

This image is a lith print, a photographic printing process known for its gritty texture, high contrast, and warm or cold tones depending on paper and developer choice. The scene depicts an old rural house, likely in Western Ukraine with weathered white walls and a steep, dark roof.

To the right, a barn with a corrugated metal roof leans at an angle, partially covered by bare tree branches, suggesting it’s late autumn or early spring. A wooden ladder rests against the roof, adding to the rustic atmosphere. The foreground is overgrown with dry grass and weeds, while the background reveals rooftops and distant trees under a pale, cloudy sky.

The lith printing process enhances the mood of decay and nostalgia: shadows are deep and gritty, highlights are soft and creamy, and the entire image has a distinctive vintage look with some edge fogging and chemical staining typical of old or hand-processed prints.

Mind the bump.

A path through a forest in early spring before the trees have grown a lot of leaves back. A medium sized rock is located on one side of the path, in a spot that can be easy to miss.

Foggy shore.

So my #Ikonta case has been rebuilt. Not perfect but functional and looks really nice. Good result from #FolderWeek !

This is a black and white photograph of a quiet, wooded area. In the center of the image, there is a small wooden structure with a pitched roof, possibly a gazebo or a shelter. The scene is dominated by tall, slender birch trees with white bark, some of which are in the foreground and partially obscure the structure. There is a large tree stump near the center-right of the image, casting a long shadow across the ground. The overall atmosphere feels calm and slightly nostalgic, likely due to the monochrome tone and the natural, somewhat rustic setting.

Very much vibing with this camera/film combo, so I'm just gonna keep posting these. The weird sea fog was cool too😄

The image was printed using the lith print technique, a photographic printing technique known for its distinctive high-contrast and grainy aesthetic, often with warm or sepia tones and dramatic shadow detail.

The image depicts a quiet, serene lakeside scene. In the foreground, a small rowboat is moored at the edge of the water, slightly tilted and partially reflected in the rippling surface. The shoreline is grassy and uneven, leading into a wooded area with tall, leafless or sparsely leafed trees, suggesting early spring. The dense forest in the background creates a dark, textured contrast to the lighter foreground. The overall mood is calm, nostalgic, and somewhat melancholic, enhanced by the lith printing process which gives the photograph a vintage, artistic look with rich blacks, soft highlights, and a warm tonal range.

Sun and fog. As usual, the weather gods got really drunk in April😂

Coastal landscape: A grass field between a cliff and dense, big trees. A path towards the sea in the middle. A glimpse of the foggy sea can be seen in the background.

Finally, I developed the film from the #FolderWeek 14.04 - 20.04
.
I developed it in Foma Retro Special according to the Foma datasheet. I got overexposed and very overdeveloped negatives. The flatbed scanner can't scan them properly, so I had to print them using contrast grade 0 or 1

This black and white photograph depicts a serene natural landscape featuring a calm body of water, likely a lake or a pond, surrounded by leafless trees, suggesting it was taken in early spring or late autumn. The trees, mostly birches, are reflected in the still water, adding a sense of symmetry and tranquility. A prominent birch tree leans diagonally toward the water in the foreground, while other trees line the right-hand side, creating a natural path along the shoreline. The absence of leaves and the soft light give the image a quiet, contemplative mood.

Zen vibes.

Remember the black and white scans from the KW Patent Etui 1920s folding camera for Folder Week? The lab (Forever Blue in Aveiro) were kind enough to rescan them in colour.
