Gressløk

Photographed a few weeks ago in a shaded aeria against a piece of paper.

Went out with a friend late last night. He has a studio not to far from here, and we tried out different settings using his lights. We took a few shots at different settings, moved the lights back and forth, and checked out the results on a computer.

When we finally got the lights right, we used the Hasselblad to see the difference between our 6 megapixels frames and those from the scanned negatives. If I get the time, I`ll develop the rolls tonight. We worked seriously for hours, and I wasn`t in bed untill 3:45 this morning.

I feel like the luckiest guy.

Oskar is running out of luck. He came home the other day on three legs. The fourth was in a miserable shape. He and his brother are having a hard time these days. It`s the time of the year, but they had to go to the vet a few months ago, and now they seem frustrated.

Can`t blame them.

This is a crop from a much bigger frame. This is what I saw, but as I headed towards them, my mind started telling me to stop. I shot 3-4 frames from a distance, moved a little closer, then chickened out. I feel sick when it comes to walking out of my comfort-zone and into others...
Thought I was a little tougher, but wasn`t.
Anyways - I love the way it turned out. My fav so far this year.
The location is Kaja`s school, and the kids who wrote it must have the same english-teacher as I did 20 years ago. The spelling is creative; "fuck the teachers".

Got 8-10 films to develop. A few medium-format films, that I have to develop one by one because of the size of my tank. I know it`s possible to squeeze two films into one reel, but it hasn`t been very successfull when I`ve done it. Overlapping frames and too much hassle. An easier solution is to deliver the rolls to the local photostore, but that`s just too easy.

It`s been a while... Two divorces, a few birthdays, one funeral, and life goes on. I just had to take a break. Photography to me is something I want to enjoy, and even though it has been some tough weeks, I`ve heard the delicate sound of the shutter several times. I have a few photos that I`m happy with, and I`ll show them to you in the next few weeks.
