L'estiu a Katwijk aan Zee / Summer in Katwijk aan Zee

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Ningú havia vist aquestes fotos fins ara, sobretot els que les varen fer. Fins que jo les he revelat ara.

En aquest rodet de format 120, fet servir cap als anys 50 o 60, apareixen fotos de grup amb nens i gent en un pati i a la platja. Això en principi faria la identificació del lloc quasi impossible. Però sabent que es tracta d'una platja holandesa (pel context del carret i perque hi apareix una bandera que ha de ser holandesa), hi ha un detall que donava la pista: en una de les fotos es veu una esglesia blanca a tocar de la platja. Amb el Google Maps vaig trigar menys de 5 minuts a trobar aquesta esglesia maritima holandesa. Es tracta de la Andreaskerk (o Witte Kerk) a Katwijk aan Zee, prop de Roterdam. I obviament la foto amb l'església és aquesta en concret. De fet, és la única esglesia holandesa al costat del mar!

S'anomena "found film" a aquelles fotografies en pel•licula o placa que es troben sense revelar dins càmeres velles o per altres racons. La gracia és que ningú ha vist mai aquestes fotografies.

Aquest rodet prové d'un conjunt força gran (70 rodets, la majoria de format 120) que vaig comprar per internet a algú de Rotterdam.

Aquest rodet en blanc i negre, de format 120, era del tipus Agfa Isopan F, fabricat entre 1943 i aproximadament 1970. Revela amb HC110 "stand" durant quasi una hora.

===================================================

Nobody, even less the author, had seen these pictures until now. Until I've developed them in the dark room.

This roll of 120 film had about 8 6x6 pictures, all a bit blurry and showing groups of people in a garden or in the beach. Apparently this made the location almost impossible. But.... but there's one single element that solves the problem. There's a picture showing an old church by the beach (this very picture), a beach that is clearly in the Netherlands, considering it's context (and some Dutch flags). So I only had to find a church near the Dutch coast. It took less than five minutes with Google maps. This is Katwijk aan Zee beach, and the church is the Andreaskerk (aka Witte Kerk), dating from 1461! In fact it's the only Dutch church by the sea!

They call "found film" at those images in film or plates that are find undeveloped inside old cameras or in other places, like boxes or old houses.

I found a large pack of medium format roll films in the Internet. I bought them from a seller from Rotterdam (Low Countries).

This one was a b&w 120 format Agfa Isopan F film, produced from 1943 to c.1970. Stand developed in HC110 for almost an hour.
