To be certain they still worked I shot a test roll with each of them. Those were probably the last 35 mm films I will expose in my life.<br \/>\nNot only the physical feel of these wonderful cameras, also the distinctive sounds of the mechanics, like the muffled clicks and short quiet film winding of the Contax and the whirring shutter and solid *clack* of the Nikon\u2019s mirror, transported me right back to 1999. That was when I used to shoot with these machines regularly, just before my long hiatus in photography. The funny thing is, though, even the photographs came out like I had made them back then. Apparently I fell back to my old style of spotting \u201cinteresting\u201d subjects and composing the shot in the viewfinder while quickly going through the frames in and around my house in Naarden Vesting. The subdued colours and heavy grain did the rest.<br \/>\nI had the films scanned, the photographs look positively retro to me.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_915\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-915\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160406-Neg-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tulips\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tulips &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_914\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-914\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160406-Neg-8.jpg\" alt=\"Street in Naarden Vesting\" width=\"1024\" height=\"701\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Street in Naarden Vesting &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_913\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-913\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160406-Neg-7.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-913\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mercedes &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_912\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-912\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160406-Neg-6.jpg\" alt=\"Jaguar\" width=\"1024\" height=\"708\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jaguar &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-911\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160406-Neg-2.jpg\" alt=\"Living room\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Living room &#8211; photo Joeri van Veen 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homage to 35 mm film photography because I sold my prized Contact G1 and Nikon FM2N.
