Back to analogue photography....after 40 years

I am very happy to present you a series of pictures I took last summer during my shoot with Spanish model Eva Lunia, perhaps you might know her; I can highly recommend her.
About a year ago my interest in analog photography was renewed after a visit to second hand fair in Holland where I bought a Leica R3 with some lenses. And immediately my juvenile enthousiasme woke up, even though I'm already retired. After the Leica came a Mamiya C220, and then several other analog camera's. I also rediscovered my old Olympus OM2 S/P I had forgotten for so many years but it was still functioning as new.
And then I fell on a Rolleiflex 6008, almost like new, which opened a totally new world for me: de top class medium format camera. My latest major acquisition is a Hasselblad 503CX with some beautiful lenses.
I have now regained the pleasure of developing the film myself, the appreciation of the fine grain, the rendering of the skin texture and so on.
I hope I've been able to convey a bit of my enthusiasm in this blog and through Eva's photos. I will ask great respect for nude models posing for analogue photography because that is much more difficult than posing for digital photography because everything takes much more time and it is an extra task for the model to maintain concentration.
