    The energy in this is infectious and inspiring. Will never be able to grasp how your mind conceptualizes telling stories the way it does, I will just be able to remain in awe. Thanks for the shoutout, truly flattered :)

      It's so weird how you say that about my videos and I am thinking exactly the same thing about your videos and how in awe I am every time you put something out there. Thanks again for the inspiration :)

    I am slowly working my way through some of your "older" videos. This one really hit a spot. The music and the presentation of the stills conveys so much lively energy it was great fun to watch. Thanks for all the effort and time you're putting into these videos - much appreciated.
    I also have not been to Berlin since 1986 - and you can imagine (or maybe cannot) how much different it is now - the capture of the scenes of your group being out shooting gives a nice contrast to what my memories of Berlin (W) are like. (Written at about 8min into the video - now going scrolling back up for more)

      Glad you liked it, thanks for your feedback. :) I love those relaxed photography vlogs as well, but sometimes a change in pace feels refreshing to edit as well.

    • @KarinMajoka

      Same here, 10 mins for developing and 5 mins for scanning at their lab feels so unfair compared to the countless hours I spend developing and scanning at home haha. And thank you, Ivan! :)

  • @davidwoods80
    @davidwoods80 3 роки тому +2

    Whoa! That first part of the video -- all those jump cuts and graphics -- me, thinking I might have to rewatch at a slower speed -- worried our quiet and introspective Ms. Majoka had fallen in with the wrong crowd, and was now perhaps snorting film processing chemicals in some dark and forgotten alley. Relief when I see the second half; back to her studious self, and aspiring to own her own film lab. Order is restored... :-)

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 роки тому +1

      Hahah, that comment was hilarious, thanks for making me laugh, David! Well, film has the power to make you feel high and hyped when simply putting it into the camera - maybe that was what happened. 😂

Also shoutout to the FUJI Blimp, I need one of those.

    Would love to be able to get my hands on a Fuji Frontier scanner. You see a few on eBay every now and then, but, they're pretty pricey!!! That, and a filmomat processor. Though, they're even dearer than the scanner!!!

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 роки тому

      Oh, I totally feel you. A Frontier that is able to scan a whole roll in 5 minutes would be a real game changer to home developing and scanning. The whole operating system to get it to work also seems to be a real challenge though :/

    100 rolls a day processed? Geez, that's quite a throughput. In my big city I'm pretty much the only film photographer left. I even have to teach the people at the drugstore on how to use the lab's film processing ordering system every time I bring them a roll of color film!

    • @KarinMajoka

Ich werde nicht viel mehr dazu sagen, aber in der analogen Fotografie kann man sich so ungefähr denken, was es sein könnte. Aber die Qualität der Filmentwicklung ist trotzdem bei dem Laden gut. Dennoch… nach der Sache… nein danke. Ich bin zurück zu Fotoimpex.
