about film.

After walking through this djungle that is film, some films work better with certain cameras. it's the combination of film and camera that is the most important, i've discovered. kodacolor in a holga 135 works great in the winter, kodacolor in my minolta in the summer, not so much. I'm finally at the end of this try-out period, and I've found my favorite combinations. it is all so much fun. My favorite films, so far, are portra 160NC and ektar, both by kodak.

september...

i've been doing fieldwork these last 3 weeks 

and these are some photos i took of my "office" during breaks.
now i'm back, not only to the internet,
news and civilization, but to my life.. hello!

North Bend & Twede's café, Seattle

um.. yeah, i bought a mug. we all did!
the coffee was that good.
and it says twin peaks on it.
so.

Snoqualmie Falls, Seattle

or metal hippies in seattle..

fire walk with me

{L}ast time i was in the states, i visited Rydell High in california, this time we went to Twin Peaks. i've been watching the series for the first time this summer -it is amazing. i'm glad the series has somehow managed to escape me up until now, it turned up in my life at the perfect time. the fact that we went there was such a funny coincidence. my friends, almost all of them, are huge fans so naturally we had to go. We only went to North Bend and Snoqualmie, about 30 minutes from Seattle. we had cherrypie and a damn fine cup of coffee (the character Dale Cooper was right about that one!) at Twede's Café, which is the Double R Diner in the series. what else can i say... see the series or bob will come for you.

We went in to Seattle in the late evening/night, a few hours before our flight back, and what can i say, we love the cheesecake factory. This was our last stop for this time. we loved it here. as always. only good things!

i'm very happy with the diana's, using the 55mm wide angle lens. i could never have gotten both the house and the waterfall in the shot, without it.

washington, part 2

from idaho to seattle

montana camping.

We went by car, about an hour outside of Missoula. The starry sky in the night was really cool, because i didnt really recognize it. When i was in lolo, outside Missoula, i spotted the Plough pretty much at the same place as in umeå. Maybe iso 400 or 800 would have been better but i took a chance anyway with iso 100. these are with the 55mm wide angle lens.

On our way back to missoula from a camping trip, we made a stop here. of course. i was quite excited to step into a real american saloon. and i really like the furniture and heaters of this era. i'm not an ikea person.
