From my trip in Nagorno-Karabakh of last summer (June 2017). A piece of “no-man’s land”, somewhere near the village Aghavnatun. We were rewarded with this scene after an exhausting drive through the mountains.

Here are two series of photos that are respectively with a digital and an analogue camera:

• Fuji x100 (lens 23 mm ~ 35 mm, jpg’s edited from raw)
• Mamiya NC 1000s (lens: 50 mm, film: Kodak Ektar 100).

Photos are shot in Vanadzor and the road back to Yerevan.

Somewhere near Zovuni village, with Maria, looking for a spot for her movie.

On a sunny Saturday we made a bicycle tour to the peninsula Marken located 20 km to the north of Amsterdam. I made some photographs with a Nikon Coolpix P90 (12mp). While I feel the disadvantages compared to a DSLR, I really enjoy it’s 24x optical zoom.

In the village Zuiderwoude we met a very kind girl, Somer, and made a little trip with her canon. Actually there is so much water in this region, that it seems everyone has a watercraft in the backyard… That´s probably why the municipality is called Waterland.

The images were shot on manual mode. You can see details about shutter speed, aperture etc. in bottom right of the photograph (after you open the gallery).

B&W film photos from summer 2013. Made with Zenit EM.

Pictures were taken in Yerevan, Dilijan, Musaler, Byurakan and on the road near Fioletovo.

So we were driving from Yerevan to Tbilisi, and somewhere in northern Armenia we had a car accident. These are some film photos made with Zenit. Car was already raised back.

Just before the accident, I was probably was reading. I remember that I felt turbulence and when I looked up I saw our car was off the road and a Kamaz next to us. Apparently Norayr, our driver, tried to pass the truck, but it pushed us off the road. We lost control over the car, it went back to the road and hit the Kamaz.

At that point it was like being in a movie. Everything happened very fast. You hadn’t even time to be scared. I don’t remember clearly the impact itself, but I remember that the car turned on its right. The first thing I remember was Satanik laughing. Magically, no one was killed or even injured.
