thoughts from Capri.

I escaped Naples on my last few hours in Italy,
and took the boat to Capri. there were lemon trees,
orange trees, baby grapes and several colored roses..
it smelled wonderful.
it rained a little,
and i didnt have enough time to explore most of the island,
but that did not matter.

Capri is beautiful, worth another visit.

a few of my polaroids from..

forum & volcano.

the house with the faun and Alexander mosaic.

crossing the street

Visiting this roman city was the purpose of my trip.
and ah. the houses are amazing.
and the artifacts at the museum.. so pretty.
I will post more film as i get it developed.

I've never seen a volcano before, and wow, vesuvius is a little scary.
Like a big shadow over the bay. Gave me the creeps.
Settlements have always been destroyed by its erruptions.
I found myself keeping an eye on it whenever i saw it,
to make sure it was still quiet (!).

spring.

While i'm in Italy over the weekend, there are spring festivities in my town. this is a framed photo copy i found in a secondhand shop in town and i love it. welcoming spring by singing songs, while being sooo well dressed! so great! blog readers can look at this over the weekend until i come back from italy next week. awesome, i know.

ah!

possibly my favorite holga photo i've taken.
so cool to get this from a camera that doesnt use batteries,
with a simple kodak film. such a nice surprise.

the only ski day this season.

I somehow catched the same weekend as last year to go skiing. 25th of march. this time, sister came along, as well as friends from work, some of which had never skied before. the weather was great so we skied for 5 hours! sister is a brave little woman and was the only snowboarder. i personally think skiis are way cooler.. in a 80's cool sort of way. we definitely got appetite for more, though the ski season is basically over now, but we're dreaming big.. perhaps a skii trip to mountains next season. bigger hills and longer slopes. but this is what it looked like this time, with holga 135 camera:

april weather and easter.

photos from my road trip home on sunday. i'd like warmer weather now, but driving through this frost was just lovely.

about books.

{W}hile being a student, i have no time to read books. well, i read them between semesters, because during semesters i cannot make myself read a novel or whatever, because there is always that other book or article i'm supposed to be reading instead. i can't wait until i've finished school and hopefully have a normal workday so that i can have the freedom of reading any book i want. I haven't even mentioned the endless horse stuff i read during semesters as well. last year though, i read 3 or 4 books during the summer, the hobbit (for the second time), and a few rockstar books. this was a victory!

nowadays though, i have a book on my nightstand called.. 101 gangster movies you have to see before you die that my sister gave me for christmas. and wow. it is really good! the actors in the 1930's and 1940's look so good! gangsters of that era are my favorite gangsters. i read about one movie each night, which is only a very small page short. so far it is working great for me. however, for the summer, i have my eyes on lord of the rings - in english. which i know will be better than the swedish translation i've read.

i have until the end of this month to finish this book about Pompeii, by Mary Beard. i've heard good reviews. and i like this bw photo above. I can't wait to go there later this month!

a living legend.

{L}ast thursday night, me and a few friends from work went to see this man perform.
it was exactly 10 years ago in this city, i last saw this man live in concert,
performing my favorite album of his.
His indoor concert yesterday, was so impressive.
visuals and sounds with his special voice.
i've never experienced a concert the way i did there,
it was magnetic, magical and beautiful.
i have no other words to describe it.
what a gift for us fans.
we love thåström.
if other artists are stars, he is a rare supernova.
he has been performing since the 70's and is STILL amazing
but that's because he is a real rockstar!

my semi-automatic silver Minolta zoom 80.

Film from this camera has made an entrance on this blog so it's about time for this little thing. this was my last filmcamera back in the days, i got it the same year i got my first digital, so i only had tryouts for a few rolls. i found it last year again deep in a drawer and it works perfectly after 7 years in hibernation. it is currently on my top 3 cameras and will be my sidekick for a few things this year. it likes good quality film over cheaper film.

closet pearls.

VINTAGE.

a walk on saturday. just me and the trees.

the weather was so good.

the sun has returned from the other side of the planet.
it was low and made lightroads between the trees.

the snow was so puffy and fluffy and light and deep

so many places to hibernate.

aaah happiness.
