Vandersault

Umeå, winter 2008 with my roomate. Damn, this film got a lot of light leak, but these kind of accidents usually are mostly interesting. I was having a pleasant chat with Annika, and sneaked into my room between as I could not resist photographing her with this morning winter light and her top that titled her so well. RGB versus Greyscale mode.

- update: so I am posting some old frames I found that I had at home in Norway; as I wait for a very substantial number of films to be processed. I am having a total obsession with medium format photography, and some night photography with the olympus, which culminated in a delivery to studio technika today of 27 rolls of medium format and ca. 15 rolls of 35 mm. Yes, that basically means I am going very far in this passion. Over half of this is material from my stay in Italy for 9 days recently; I wait in apprehension, as I barely used any form of light meter for this, only experience.

I was talking to Stefano about this form of investment, and it must be said that even if you pay 6 euros for 12 photos, and later 6-9 euros for having it processed and there is a visible amount of failed technical aspects, if only one frame stands out and turns out magically, you have more than paid off the investment.

Also this week I saw a brilliant exhibition by Stanley Kubrick, it was good inspiration. A must see in Milan!
