I took these two indoor solarigraphy photos in my attic, using the windows through which a lot of light entered during sunset. I took the same shot with two cameras: a Braun Paxina IIb and a Polaroid EE33. I am very happy with the result of the first photo, but unfortunately the second one did not turn out well. The Polaroid is powered by two AA batteries, and the shutter can only stay open for just over a week (without mods), which is not enough for indoor solarigraphy. In addition, it does not have a tripod mount, so I could not set it up securely.

Despite that, I am very happy that I was able to bring back to life the Polaroid camera for which film cartridges have long been out of production. Now I have set up my Polaroid in a different location, secured it, ensured stability and plenty of light, and I am still testing it. The results will be available soon. 😊 Thank you all for your comments and reactions! 🙏

The exposure time was 31 days for the Paxina and was intended to be 32 days for the Polaroid, but it ended up being approximately 7 days.

Gear:
• Braun Paxina IIb (Germany, 1952) (1st shot)
• Polaroid EE33 (USA, ~1976) (2nd shot)
• FOMASPEED Variant 312 Black-And-White Photographic Paper

This is one of my first three solarigraphy shots. The exposure time was 34 days.
Unfortunately, I set the angle incorrectly, but you can partially see the paths of the setting sun in the sky. You can see when the sky was clear during sunset and when it was not. I set the same frame on two wider 6x9 cameras to capture as much of the sun as possible during the day, until sunset. The results will be available in the coming month or two! 😅

Gear:
• Lomo Lubitel 166B (USSR, ~1980)

Last autumn days in Norway. We passed by an old historic farm and were lucky to be the only people visiting the heritage farm with its colourful houses. The sun brought warmth and beautiful light as it crossed the surrounding mountains. Green meadows and trees, still unaware of the upcoming snow.

📷 Going ! I took an old 1950s box camera (Kodak Duaflex II) out for a wander through an abandoned car graveyard. To make things even more fun, I loaded up with an interesting film!

This film has an unique look, muted & desaturated grainy vibes the photos looks like an Instagram filter. No edits, no tweaks. Just scanned the film after developing.

The Masochist's Close-Up

Crisis is a liturgy of steadiness. You do not command the wind; you learn to still your hands as it moves through you. The Rolleiflex does not forgive—two lenses seeing slightly different worlds, forever arguing about what is real, a wedge of glass bending one lie toward another until they almost agree. Each exposure is a ritual of control without control—pre-focus, rock forward, exhale, surrender. The bee kneels to the aster; the photographer kneels to the frame. Breath meets the shutter; discipline meets devotion. You do not conquer the moment—you offer yourself to it, perfectly still, knowing it will hurt you if you move.
