Learning to see street corners
The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the northern lakes. Shooting with an old film camera meant I had to get closer than I am used to, which was uncomfortable at first.

Three days at the canal district
It has been a while since my last trip to the canal district. I kept a paper notebook this time, writing down the time and the light for every roll.

A morning at an abandoned railway line
I went to an abandoned railway line with a cheap zoom from a flea market and no particular plan. By noon the crowds arrived, so I walked further along the path, where rain on glass were still undisturbed.

Slow afternoon at the canal district
I went to the canal district with a cheap zoom from a flea market and no particular plan. I underexposed most of the frames on purpose, to keep the mood grey but generous rather than bright.

A short walk: a small island ferry
I went to a small island ferry with a pocket camera and no particular plan. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the salt marshes. A light drizzle started around ten. I sheltered under a bus stop roof and photographed people hurrying past.

Learning to see rain on glass
Some places are better in the off-season, and an abandoned railway line is one of them. The café near an abandoned railway line still serves the same cinnamon buns; I had two and pretended it was research.

A short walk: a frozen bay
The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to a frozen bay. By noon the crowds arrived, so I walked further along the path, where fog were still undisturbed.

Window light and bicycles
Some places are better in the off-season, and a mountain hut above the treeline is one of them. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

Three days at the old harbour
Some places are better in the off-season, and the old harbour is one of them. Walking back, I found a side street I had never noticed before, lined with tiny workshops.
