polaroids

 I know it's been a while. But today I'm showing you something I'm exited about. because last week I shot my Polaroid photos. finally 2 years after buying my camera. I remember buying it for only 2 euros at a Finnish flea market. I couldn't believe the price. and a little more than a year later my friends gave my a film pack for my birth day, these things are 25 euros for 8 photos, damn... That's why I waited so long to use them. I was afraid to waste them.
The battery is included in the package, and the battery that was in the package that came with the camera was empty, so I think its formal owner thought the camera was broken but the battery just ran out. In that package was still one overexposed failed photo that I used for a little project.

when they come out of the camera, the photos are blue, like completely blue. And you have to hide them away from light for a few minutes. Then they develop and lose their blueness. And you have your Polaroid pic. I love the colors, light leaks, spots and these edges, the upside one is blue at most photos. I even like them being a bit unsharp, because you can't focus with a Polaroid camera, you can only slide a close-up lens in front of the lens.
I really like talking about vintage cameras, but I'll leave it at this for today. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
ps. this is so much cooler than the effects on instagram. It's the real deal

reflection

remember the project I told you about? I was chosen to attend 3 photography workshops and exhibit at a art+music festival. Well I have to say the festival was great, there was a bluegrass band. And I really really like bluegrass hehe. It was great and there where some great artworks. The theme was to show something you're angry about or like to see different. There where art works about homo-phobia, violence in video games, fast food, bullying, girls wearing to much makeup, and one about the fact people say really nasty things about Justin Bieber, he is just a kid making music, not liking him is okay but saying he must burn in hell goes a little to far don't you think?
my artwork is about apathy, sometimes I waste my day lying in bed or sitting behind a computer all day. And when the day is over I'm always a little angry/disappointed in myself. When you go out doing something life is so much more fun! that's what mirror-me is trying to tell sleepy-me.
the festival was organized by the ark of art

tim

yesterday he came back, from Italy. He had been there for 5 days. I had missed him a little. And when I was lying in his arms last night I realized how much he means to me, how much I love him. It wasn't the first time I realized this but last night the feeling was so strong. he is my personal guitar player, photography buddy, lover and friend that gives me free hugs and kisses. I love the way he lifts me up and teases me acting like he is going to drop me in a ditch, and that he keeps giving me little knickknacks with harts on it, and all the sweet things he does, and late evening walks we have, and that we can talk about everything, he makes me smile even without telling jokes. and in a month we will celebrate our 2 year anniversary.
what I'm trying to say: Tim, you are the best that ever happened to me, I love you!
