[zeiss ikon contina IIa]

i also brought my zeiss ikon contina to switzerland. 
i realized too late that the light meter did not work. 
and it was an experiment, with old iso 3200 b/w film. 
this is the same school as in last post. 

concrete teachings.

a study trip to switzerland. 

these shots are from the old town in aarau. 

(i have many rolls of film from this trip, so i hope you like nature and buildings...)

went sailing.

[canon av-1]

light nights of summer. 
watching the horizon. 
grilling on the cliffs. 
reading by the fire. 
waiting for the fish to bite. 

(though, we were luckier with the fish the summer before.)

drifters.

längtar till båten, till havet, till det livet.

longing for the boat, the sea, that life.

ending.

[canon av-1]

the walk ended in this quiet courtyard of the école nationale supérieure des beaux-arts. 
the only sounds were the fountain, and the clappering of random footsteps.

there he is, the mystery man! let's follow him!

[canon av-1]

- there he is, the mystery man! let's follow him!
(imagine a womans' voice with a french accent)

saint-germain-des-prés.

[canon av-1]

dear friend stina has lived in paris for one year. 
she equipped us with an audiotour of saint-germain-des-prés. 
we did not know what to expect, just plugged in the ear-phones and listened. 

there we walked, side by side, and a secret world appeared. 
the french-english voice took us through small passages, narrow streets, secret courtyards. 
she told us stories about musicians, painters, writers (and their lovers), jazz clubs. 
she made us entering a gallery, an art café, and old hotel (where oscar wilde died!). 
it was a magic afternoon, a time travel, a feeling of being just us in the heart of paris.

sweet morning.

old film.

[canon av-1]

i bought a few rolls of old colour film that i tried in paris. 
this was a sunny day, inside and outside palais de tokyo.
and on the pretty 'impasse partout'.

i think the images turned out quite nice, but far more grainy than i was expecting. 
and the scanning of the negatives was not perfect... 
'hard but fun' she said in the photo store i go to.
