In September 2014 I started my analog photography project by ordering a second hand Hasselblad 500 c/m camera from ebay. Not only selecting and ordering the right camera was a challenge, but also finding suppliers for the right film. A next hurdle was finding reliable laboratories which could develop and scan the films.

1st step: Getting some black and whit as well as some color film.
2nd step: the camera arrived. Everything fully functional. For a camera built in 1976 it is really in good shape.
3rd step: While there are plenty of smartphone apps for light metering, my analog photography project should involve the use of an analog light meter.
4th step: loading the film to the Hasselblad A12 camera back. Not as easy as loading a flash card!
Youtube is a great source of instruction videos, even for a technology of the pre-internet area.
5th step: getting some pictures at my brothers wedding and getting the first film developed.
Here, one film - 12 images - on an index sheet:
And some serious high resolution scans:
More steps to follow applying another classic color film!
