My huge and humble THANK YOU!!!!!

My huge and humble THANK YOU!

Thanks to all of you who gold plated my first seven weeks here on WordPress with more inspiration and interest than I ever even dreamed of!
Today I reached 100 followers! In seven weeks! It is amazing and far above my earnest expectation.
I started this blog because I want so much to share the beauty of film photography, my passion, to show more people that film is not at all dead, which I myself actually thought a few years ago. I mourned film and I thought I would never find joy in the creative process again. But how wrong I was! Fortunately!
And I feel that I am on the right path. When I go around town and photographing people come to me and ask if it still exist film to buy?
Ohh, yeah, it does! 🙂
And the response I got here, on WordPress, from my followers, tells the same story.
I am very very happy and proud today, so THANK YOU everyone who supports me with kind comments and interest in what I share here.

Weekly photo challenge – MERGE

MERGE = Double exposure, right?

Well, though I’m into film photography, this was an obvious choise. No PhotoShopping, no tweaking, just my beloved negative, as is!

To help me with this, I used my little Lomo LC Wide, a true wonder with a 17 mm Minigon Ultra-Wide Angle lens, and a MX button that is making a double exposure very simple; push the shutter button, push the MX button, take one more exposure, in this case I just put my camera up side down for the second exposure.

The film I used is a Lomography Redscale XR 50-200 ISO, with the ISO set on (200×2=) 100

The motive is from the little coastal town I live in, Norrtelje, Sweden. It’s the little river that runs through the center of the small town, very charming.

Enjoy, and be inspired!

Some summer memories from the Stockholm archipelago

Working with black and white film by the water gives me always a kind of meditative feeling. A sort of spiritual calm.

It may sound strange because I do not see the images in connection with my shooting. But I know how I want to portray the moments, and already then I feel the clean, fresh feeling that I later get when I see my final image. Clean, pure and sensuously calm.

The stones, cliffs, sea and sky, all so down to earth and peaceful for me when the color is gone, replaced with a beautiful gray scale.

Therapy for the soul. Feel the scents. Hear the surging sea. Enjoy!
