STRIPES II

Remember the stripes? Well, the posters and flyers got stencilled as you can see :) I will share some photos of them online (in my portfolio) soon.
I like this Crystal Antlers cover (haven’t listened to the music) and I would love to have this one day in my garden (via aesthetically pleasing).
CAMERAS

Today I went to the thrift store and bought 2 cameras. Inspired by Lea I wanted to shoot some analogue pictures again. When I got home, searching for film I still had hidden somewhere, I came across 2 other cameras I already had for a long time.
Top left is my Nikon F301, it’s a 35mm SLR camera and my parents bought me this one when I went to art school (I studied photography there for 1 year, after that I switched to graphic design). It’s a great camera, but pretty heavy.
Top right is a camera I totally forgot I had (I do the same thing with books etc.) and I have never used it. I think I got it somewhere at a flea market. Everything on it is in Russian, so I had no idea what camera it was, but I think I figured it out: a Russian version of a Zenith-E. It looks like it is in a good condition.
Bottom left is one of the cameras I just bought…I’m not sure if it works, but it looks nice anyway. It’s a Kodak Instamatic 104.
And then bottom right is the other one I just thrifted: the very light weighted Konica C35 EF-P.
I also own this flash, but it doesn’t fit on top of all cameras…
I love my digital camera, because it is so light, I take it everywhere I go. But I will give these a try, starting with the Zenith-E.
Ps. Sorry if the bright pink blanket hurts your eyes! :)
UTRECHT






These are some pictures I took in Utrecht, when I was helping out Gemma to set up her exhibition. I have lived in Utrecht for about 6 years and it was nice to come back! It’s a lot smaller than Amsterdam, but also has beautiful canals and little streets.
I like it a lot when the sky is so blue and you can see the planes making their stripes… It turns the sky into some kind of graphic art work :)
STOP


It’s so nice when you ride your bike through town and you suddenly see things that make you stop and pull out your camera :) The balloons were just floating into the tree when I passed by.
I hope you are having a lovely weekend, I did finish some work today, but going to relax now! Maybe watch an episode of Lost…does anyone of you watch Lost or any other series?
SPAM



Does anyone of you use Wordpress as a blog and also get lots of spam in their comments? Most spam doesn’t show in the comments, thank god, but I still have to mark them as spam. And now it’s like 20 comments or so a day sometimes! Any advice?
I’m off to the sun now (it is the best spring weather all week)!
