About

Welcome to PixelToko. Pixeltoko is a photoblog.

This is all digital imagery. I love film and analog processing and I encourage everyone to go there. I have been there and we had a blast. I simply love the control, speed and (cost) efficiency of the digital workflow. So now you know. The end result will always be an image.

You’ll find here mostly Black&White, streetscapes, portraits, some architecture and some landscapes. You can browse all the images on the browse page. There are also some links to photoblogs and photography sites.

Equipment

• Olympus E510
• Olympus C7070
• Canon S95
• Phone

→ This sums it all up . . .

1. Words by Henri Cartier Bresson the father of modern photojournalism:

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

Photographers are like butterflies. They flutter from photo to photo.

2. Flickr, Alexandre Rousseau:

Rumor has it that pixels are a baser form of expression than vectors, whose perfect curves and infinite scalability have elevated them to the highest ranks of digital society.

And I don’t think so.

For starters, I’ve never met a pixel I didn’t like. Plus, the little guy may be square, but he sure can dance. Last, garishly dressed or not, he has color, a concept that Mr. Vector up there can never understand unless he hires an assistant.

So, my word of thanks to all those nameless pixels without whom digital expression would be just a formula.

A fan.

3. From Collecting Souls by Thomas Leuthard:

Just look at the photograph itself. When it is working for you, that’s fine. When it is not working for you, that’s fair enough. There are so many other photographers out there you may like but never ever judge me on my camera.
