The idea was simple: take a film picture each and every Sunday for a whole year and (try to) post them each and every Sunday for a whole year. Of course, a couple weeks delay needed to be taken into account for development and scanning.
On Sunday January 4th, 2015, I took the last picture of my series.

It was a very interesting experience. Some weeks I discovered myself thinking about which camera and film I would use already on Thursday, other weeks I needed to improvise a bit more. I took the opportunity of the Sunday pictures to do a little experimenting. Some of them came out fine, especially with sheet film and home development.

In other fronts it was a complete fiasco, like with Minox subminiature film: 2 out of 2 attempts came out blank! :(
I used 21 cameras, most used on medium format film was my Voigtländer Bessa 6x9 (6 Sundays) and on 35mm film both my Kiev 4 and my Contax IIa (4 Sundays each).
It is difficult to pick up a favorite from the 52 Sundays. But, if I had to, I would say 07/52 (Sunday, February 23rd, 2014) is it.

To me, it conveys the feeling of an early breakfast on a winter Sunday before taking out our whole winter equipment and go for a hike in the woods.
Thanks for coming along with me all this year. I hope you enjoyed it at least as much as I did :)
