Trees from Praça das Flores taken on my way to work since spring through full bloom in the summer. Tomorrow will be my last day of work. 

*Photos from my Twin Lense Reflex camera using slide film and cross processed.

After an extra long weekend of beach laziness, I still haven't been able to recover completely and get back on track... I have so much to do and so little will to do it.

Finally I developed the rolls of film taken with my wonderful Christmas present! I adore the cross-processed effect on slide film because you never know what to expect. These were all taken on my daily path from home to work. What I most enjoy about twin lens reflex cameras is holding them at a waist line and playing around with the image projection on the viewfinder.

In 1885, Eadweard Muybridge was was taking sequence photos of animals and people in motion and became the father of stop motion. And history repeats itself... and we think we are so creative! 

The best thing about film photography in lomo cameras is simply not knowing what to expect after developing. These are from last summer... ah... summer... with a super sampler. I've been spending the afternoon scanning film negatives we have accumulated since forever in boxes. Massive work, by the way!

To Alex and Maria

Not living up north has it's downturns, like missing out on Maria and Alex's "say bye bye to single life and hello to future married life" party.

From what I heard it was a surprise and of course I kept my part. But I also heard she cried of joy (and I bet he also cried of joy on the inside). And there was a treasure hunt, a yellow mexican shirt, an accordion sfrench song, a home baked cake and friends.

But this wasn't a real bachelor party because after they actually get married, everything will be exactly the same: they'll still love each other, still argue about stupid  stuff, still be there for each other, still want to hang out with us unmarried people, still buy cool sunglasses and put up posters on their walls and leave pretty thank you notes. You see, Maria and Alex aren't your average couple because after Saturday they'll still be Maria and Alex and so much more ....... and that's why I love them so much.

Wasn't there tonight, but won't miss Saturday for certain.
