planets and the moon.

i love evenings right now.. watching the planets.. feeling the icy cold.
i think it is soo cool that we can see the planets.

and i can only see them in the wintertime.

two random polaroids.

a few random instax's old and new..

a film.

{H}ere below follows a filmroll that i've kept in my silver plastic Minolta as a "pocket camera" to snap shots of random things from september to january. i figured it would be a fun kind of project, because that is how we all used to take photos once upon a time, remember? and i think minolta is climbing my favorite camera stair. it is awesome.

i've been waiting and waiting to get them developed, it's been a test of my patience. it was difficult to use it up, i left 8 exposures, my patience ran out. lol. 36 exposures is ALOT. it's easier with 24. The film is Ilford HP5 iso400 135 mm 36 exp. i've never used it before, and i didn't know what to expect from it, i've tried to research it online but havent really found any photos. i wanted a film that was both dark and bright. here it is. and i like it alot together with this camera.

a new years eve metal dinner. countdown for 2012 began at 6 pm.

curious.

a mini expedition.

a kodak moment.

alf and cecilia.

{I} was sorting through my little stock of film in the refrigerator and i realized that most of it is kodak film, both color and black/white and 120/135 mm. it is the film brand i've used the most over the last 2 years and the film brand that is easiest to find for me up here.

with the sad news of kodak's bankruptcy in these days (first polaroid, and now kodak? really? just when i need them!) it is with great joy i post some of my favorite kodak moments of 2011 on kodak film, because let's face it, we will always call that great picture for... a kodak moment, will we not.

read here about cool kodak facts from the last 130 years!

saturday sunset polaroids

M and me.
lovely starshine on a lovely world.

next concert..

the pics above and the live song below are from the documentary "thåström, way out west" that aired on january 7 on SVT2, can still be seen on svtplay.se. It was a really good documentary, and even better so.. joakim thåström will be performing in my town in a few months. a concert not to miss. h-a-p-p-i-n-e-s-s. it will be exactly 10 years since i last saw him perform-and in my town again! his new cd/LP is out next month and i'm excited.

moonia polaroids.

today before the sun set at 2 pm.
the light and colors were amazing.
i love winter days like these.

i'm dedicating a whole film pack for this (and surely more than just one)
because, the precious things in life, is what precious film is for!
she's not scared by the loud noice of the
polaroid camera anymore, so i think she agrees.
she kindly said "snap away!"
