One day at work, I stumbled upon an older Nikon film scanner, that someone had given up getting to run under Windows 7.

A little googling revealed a few ninja tricks, and soon the scanner was running fine on a 64 bits Win7 system.

Tampere
In august 2010 I had the opportunity to visit Tampere, Finland, as a participant in the conference ”Reusing the industrial past”.

FYI the Holga is a Chinese toy camera, known for its cheap plastic lens, false light, heavy vignetting and unpredictable colour rendering … Read more

A tale from the future
Do you remember the scene from “The Graduate”, where the main character get’s a serious piece of advice from a friend of the family: “Plastics! There is a great future in plastics!” If not, watch it here: Now fast forward to the future, which in the mean time has become the present: Photograph © Chris Jordan … Read more

This is a rare occasion: an exhibition of Krass Clement. It is Nivaagaard art museum in North Zealand which shows a retrospective with pictures from the last 22 years. I can only think off one criticism: the exhibition should have been larger. Fortunately for those of you who live far from Nivå, there is a very … Read more
