I finally got my film developed- this was when I could upload the shots from Amsterdam. I'm a bit of a stickler about keeping the Flickr stream in chronological order. :P And of course since I'm back home and working late you get another half-assed shot. :P

Fourteen hours of darkness.

(Okay, not really, because the sun did rise, but we didn't have any electricity from 11 pm Sunday til about 2 pm Monday. No idea why.)

And this time the light was NOT hiding in the fridge like it was two years ago:

The twins had mentioned something about leaving, but no one took them seriously until they started packing. This was their last weekend at my place, and so we decided to take One Last Bike Trip. Basia was missing as she is in the USA studying and doing research for her new film, but everyone else was there: the twins, Asia (whom I have no pictures of), ManiaKovalsky, Maciek, and me.

We got horribly lost along the way and never made it to the forest or the pond we'd expected to find, but it was wonderful at 55 km total.

This is a bad photograph of a really good keyboard, brought to you by 'oh-shit-it's-11:59'

You knew this would happen- I got home, had to go back to work, and have no time for interesting photos. Sorry. And I had to finish off the roll of film, too...

Shooting Amsterdam on expired film in a dirty camera results in pictures that make me very sentimental- they resemble the bad quality prints on puzzle boxes, postcards and youth magazines from the eighties. They seem to recall a time when there was no geotagging, no free sharing of terabites of images across the globe- you may have had the one high-contrast, off-colour photograph in your sparsely illustrated encyclopaedia, and that was all you knew. You had to imagine the rest.

Hello, Amsterdam. I only came for the Phosphorescent concert, but how can one resist the bicycles?

June 4th

This cemetery is what we see from my current workplace's windows. Why is this black and white, and film besides? Well, I was leaving for Warsaw and then Amsterdam directly from work that night, and didn't want to take my heavy 40D . The film camera I have is a Rebel T2, so nothing fancy, and most of the film I have is expired. I love the look of film, but I can't afford it, not with the amount of photos I take.


I've shot this cemetery before...
