crispy sunny sunday morning by the coast

it should be winter by now.
but it is still autumn.
so out i go into the forest with hot cocoa.
for that combination is balsam for the soul and
one of my favorite things to do in life.
sofi and i were out on an archaeological field trip
and these are some nature pics i took.

sofi found a dug up pit
cute white quartzite.

halloween 2011

i went to a little halloween party on saturday with this gang above. we listened to horror movie soundtracks and 69 eyes. stina as patsy stone, cissi as a prisoner and alf as hank von helvete from turbonegro. i wasnt in the picture because i took it. i was edina monsoon, patsys best friend, and strangely though i didnt have to dig deep in my closet to find something!! but i did have to dust off my black blazer with white polka dots on. it was perfect for the occasion. i loved being edina, she tries sooo hard to be fashionable lol. no one at the party knew who stina and i were dressed up as. that was sad. but next halloween... is it time for frank perhaps?

here is last years halloween.

it's halloween week..

rainy dark autumn with the smell of newly fallen yellow leaves on
the ground and black birds! woho! every season is worth celebrating.

from light to darkness comes also all the spooky shadows.. and hot cocoa.
i shall list a few of my favorite horror movies here later this week.

moonia and the dianaf+, summer to autumn,

hugging.
i'm so happy to get these
precious moments on film.


film: kodak portra 160VCi got 11 of 12 photos back on this filmroll.
that's a good roll.

so far, the dianaf+ has been a much more stable camera than
my holga120fn. that holga has much more tricks up its sleeve!
those two cameras definitely has different personalities!

i bought a 5 pack of this "professional" film, it was the only one i
could find at the time, so i'm stuck with it for a long time.
but i like it. the colors are vivid.

the most important thing to me though,
is what is on the film... !

2 diana f+ photos from this summer..

for lunch, i made waffles with blueberries for everyone!

mom's flowers.

hello october.

octoberfest..

stina brought back a piece from münchen for me.
she tried on the dresses as well.
i want one!

new blouse finds.

blue h&m, vintage stripes, pin Dr Frank-N-Furter.

Moonia polaroid's from 2010.

all of my polaroids are from 2010. zero from 2011. uh sad.

just a polaroid i had, you know, "lying around".

{C}ost of polaroid film on ebay is craaazy. i have one pack original film left from the giambarba edition and i'm saving it for, oh i don't know.

my cameras..

it's called unpacking really.. (!)
seeing them like this makes it look kinda silly,
but i use them all. so.

*see this post for the camera reviews

Moonia, by holga

{I} got all 12 photos back from my holga roll! that doesnt happen often! so gold star for my holga. half the roll was really good, and the rest were the typical holga goes mad! as can be seen on the mountain photos. but holga is holga, and it does whatever it wants. out of this roll, this first pic below is my favorite. film: kodak portra 160VC

jämtland, by holga

stina by rock carvings

when i was a kid, my grandmother and i went on trips on this boat around the lake, looking for the famous sea monster. i looked and looked but i never saw it.

on the classic western trail of Mt. Åreskutan, Jämtland, seen through a holga

Mt. Åreskutan, Jämtland

{I} do this every year, take the cable car up and then i walk down. i brought my robust Holga 120fn with me. the 4,5 km down to the village takes approx. 2-2,5 hours to walk, but it took stina and i 2 hours to walk 1,5 km.... embarrasing, but the view was so stunning, we were looking at all directions at the same time. and it was cold, so we were sitting on rocks like two miserable little hobbits in our own middle earth sipping on the few drops of warm coffee we had with us. but. we still loved it! we love the mountains. stina is in the pictures. we love landscapes.
