i long for spring! fingers crossed that the fast approaching march will bring spring. happy weekend everyone!

a quick hello this tuesday, as i’m a little busy today. a couple of yashica photos from the latest film that i haven’t shown you yet. ( i’m still digital cameraless)

yesterday i finally found a battery for the contax camera i bought recently and i can’t wait to see what this camera can do!

oh and i also wanted to mention some lovely blogs that are fairly new to me

mon petit navire
kitten’s delight
little postcards

the last photos from the yashica film (i think) and probably the last summerish photos… i really like the first one with the airplane lines in the sky crossing.

hope you are having a great sunday!

- ulrika: thanks ulrika!
- sekimachihato: yeah, it looks so surreal the way they fly so closely together! the three ones are actually leading the way : ) otherwise i would have felt sorry as well
- anna: it wasn’t hard really…they were not flying that fast and the light conditions were okay. that valrhona chocolate is very good!!!
- julochka: hi julochka. i get them developed in a photo care shop at holmbladsgade. but i only get the negatives developed and then put on a cd-rom…it’s because the one managing the store develops them himself where most shops send them to somewhere else i guess. but it is more expensive than the regular development…my problem is that my scanner is bad at getting the colors right so therefore i prefer getting them on a disk. at some point i will get a photo scanner. do you scan them? it’s such a shame that it becomes harder and harder to communicate with the photo stores as you discribe because they don’t have that much expertise in film developing.
- allison: thanks! sounds like quite the sight you saw in seattle with so many of them flying in formation.

leaving you with some more photos from my latest yashica film. one from our local park/nature area and the other two taken at home. the third photo is of a lovely owl tote bag bought from greentees. thanks for all your comments on the “beach post”! glad you liked it!

have a great wednesday everybody!

just a quick hello this saturday! more photos from my most recent film. these are taken in malmö which we visited briefly on our way home from lund. hope you are all having a great weekend!

greetings from samsø! we have arrived at the island and it’s such a beautiful place! i got two films back today..which turned out only to be one. i made the classic mistake of not having loaded the camera properly so the film came out blank. actually this hasn’t happened to me before (strangely enough) but i guess it had to happen sooner or later. anyway these photos are from the yashica film that did come out okay. first one of some berries found nearby where we live and second one from a park in lund.

- kinako: thank you kinako! i really like that photo as well, looks almost analogue. glad you liked the busdriver story. sometimes i forget to write and focus too much on the photos but writing about everyday things is fun as well.
- ida: tak!
- mary: yeah a very stylish train - probably the nicest one i have seen to date. : )
- anna: thank you anna, it’s so pretty here at this island and quiet…just great

- kristina: tak skal du ha : )
- anairam: thank you anairam! it’s so great to get feedback from all of you. sorry to hear you have problems with getting your pictures bigger. i would love to help but i don’t use blogger but wordpress. i found this tutorial about bigger blogger photos though, you have probably already read it, but in case you haven’, here’s the link
- charlotte: hello charlotte : ) and thanks, i can only say the same about your yashica photos - they rock! liked the most recent ones with strawberries in them!
- jane: thank you - i look forward to the owls as well : )
- ida: tak ida, den får lov at blive som den er!
- cecilie: tak, tak!
- susannromy: thank you so much susi - by the way i forgot to give you the whale drawing yesterday
- sandra: thanks! i like how the bigger size makes feel like you are almost in the forest looking at the trees…well not quite, but almost : )
- epe: thank you epe - i hope to be posting the penguin one soon!
- paula: you are welcome
- ai: thanks ai, it’s so nice to get a new look, didn’t know how much i needed it until afterwards. texture is one of the best things about analogue photos i think
- tiny red: yeah a pretty window indeed! i’m glad to know you like the new blog design
- atlantic treefox: thanks! i think i have come to that conclusion as well - keep it simple!
- kristi: yeah me to, swallows are such pretty birds - the sound of them reminds me of summer!

when i got my most recent yashica film back the color green seemed to be dominant in many of the photos. like in these two. the top photo is from the nearby little birch grove at kalvebod fælled. the second one taken in my cousin’s appartment. i always liked her way of doing interior design.

- paula: thanks paula! and welcome back from holiday - i look forward to see your pictures!
- ida: ja vindueskarme er noget særligt! ved heller ikke hvor jeg skulle gøre af stearinlys, planter og alt muligt andet jeg har i vindueskarmen, hvis ikke jeg havde sådan en : )
- kinako: yeah that’s my favorite as well. and i can only agree, looking at other peoples homes and different interior design styles is very interesting. i really like that stencil also, she seems so sad though..glad to know you like the new blog design! i considered making little speech bubbles above the two birds heads but then thought it would look to cheasy : )
- trinsch: oh you are going to denmark soon, can understand why you at times miss the danish weather and light not to mention…i tend to take it for granted but when i was in china some years ago i was really reminded about the good parts of the danish weather - like low humidity. thanks for your compliments to my drawings!
- pia: you are welcome and thanks : )
- sandra: hehe, i think so too, that’s what will happen eventually : )

so today is the last chance to take part in the blog birthday giveaway! follow the link and comment to win. i’m picking a winner tomorrow. here are a couple of the photos from the latest yashica film. today was also the day when it finally rained after so many days of blazing sun - a bit of a relief

- kinako: thanks! - i am really really looking forward to go to berlin! hehe you are right, they probably will, people are so creative.
- trinsch: yeah, it’s just so nice when you find what you are looking for - like new glasses, the perfect trainers etc…
- D: hej D, velkommen hjem fra roskilde, håber det var godt! JA bilfri by ville være perfekt, glæder mig også til de næste mange ugers anarki på øresundsvej.
- anairam: thanks anairam! i must confess i didn’t know the word astute - but now i do : ) i know for my own part that i am very affected by where i live and my physical surrondings, it just means a lot
- katrine: det var de samme mænd! jeg var som sagt på vej i 7eleven efter en forsyning mel omkring det tidspunkt. skægt
- rynke: thanks! actually the cafe on the corner is not that great, but i liked how they ceased the moment and put up the tables on the dirt road. : )

after having taken so many photos on the trip to prague and during the weekend in the summer house, my digital camera has been left on the shelf the last week or so. yesterday i tried out my new zeiss ikon camera and so far i like it! something fascinating about the fact that there’s no batteries and only mechanics doing the work. here’s some of the photos from my last yashica film that didn’t fit into any of the previous yashica posts. they are mostly from the abandoned buildings.

yesterday me and my friend marie went to see the film antichrist by the danish director lars von trier. it has been “talk of the town” at the cannes festival and it really is a both beautiful and brutal film. i had to look away from time to time as the images were to horrible to look at…but it’s one of those films that stays on your mind for days and really gets under your skin.

lotte: hehe jep tasken ligner virkelig et abehundekæledyr : ) lyder som et spændende projekt med din farfars gamle kamera - jeg siger go for it! og ja meget varmt disse dage - sommeren er ankommet!

an carol: hi an carol, thanks for dropping by. yes new small potatoes are so delicious and cute looking : )

rynke: thanks! yep it’s two for the price of one! pet + camera ; )

nathalie: thank you - i look forward to, always so exiting waiting to pick up analogue photos, only wish it wasn’t so expensive in denmark

gracia: glad you liked my wonderland interpretations, you can’t go wrong with white rabbits ; ) …i wasn’t really happy with it myself but it turned out semi-okay i think. about the handsome find - i will post some photos as swift as possible…just have to find something to photograph….

maja: lyder dejligt med frederiksberg, godt at i nåede at finde noget! men ja der bliver længere til stranden : ) tillykke med overstået aflevering og at du har fået ferie - ha en god tur!

brinja: tak! jeg faldt totalt for det fine design, nu må vi se hvordan det virker

Anna: yeah i think so too, couldn’t believe my luck and it was only about 4 USD!…well i don’t know if it is fully working yet, but it seems like it : )

ai: hehe i like those rabbit pants too - thought that would make the illustration more wonderland like to have rabbits in suspenders : ) about the camera - thanks, it is a handsome little one

outi: yeah it really looks like a dog! i sometimes find it amazing how little it takes to see faces in things, this will never just be a camera bag but from now on a dogs face also. sounds like a good buy with those summer pants!

paula: it looks almost new i agree. i did clean it a little bit but it didn’t need that much cleaning. i will post the photos as soon as i have them!

allison: i’m looking forward also, allthough i’m a little bit worried about my lacking skills in correct exposure and distance as it is a viewfinder camera there’s no focus and you have to judge the distance to the object you’re photographing…i predict blurry photos will be the outcome : )

kristina: ja det er så fristende! især når de ikke koster særlig meget, ser frem til dine canonet 28 billeder!

aris: thanks aris!
