I’m just back from Paris.It was not my first time there, but when in Paris every time feels like the first time.I’ve got some mixed feelings about this trip, but one thing is sure: I want to go back and stay more.

I’m leaving tomorrow for a short trip to Paris. I’m really excited about the overwhelming photo opportunities I’ll find there! I’ll be bringing my Leica M6, 50mm Summicron and my Ricoh GR1s, and of course a lot of film. I hope you will also enjoy these last days of 2012, and if we don’t talk before, happy 2013!
serendli asked: «Non volevo chiederti nulla, solo dirti che le tue foto sono bellissime, veramente. Quando vedo un tuo scatto mi sento lì con te! Comunichi con la fotografia come comunicassi con il cuore!»

Messaggi come questi non si leggono tutti i giorni.
Grazie, grazie davvero!

Going back home, last shot of the roll.
I think I may have found a good recipe for Kodak 400TX pushed to 1600 ISO.Ever since I tried Xtol, I haven’t looked back. It is such an amazing developer for medium-high ISO films. For 400TX at 1600 I use the 1:1 dilution, for 13’15” at 20ºC, initial inversions for 30” then four inversions every 30”. I think it is a very good compromise: the grain is well contained and the contrast appears to be just right, the only drawback being the need to keep the temperature constant for such a long development time. Does anybody have experience with higher dilutions maybe?

how did you set the exposure for these? The sunstars/reflections are great!

Aperture priority mode, f8 or f11, and a +1 of exposure compensation, for good measure.
Self timer, table tripod, and the camera did the rest. The Ricoh GR1s proved to be pretty good at nailing the right exposure for those kind of night shots.
