Love for 35mm film photography

Recently I ordered a new old film camera, Canon 500N. My old Canon 300 was getting too scratched and I felt like it needs to finally retire.  Got together all my expired and fresh film rolls and in a beautiful day like this I figured out I have to how them off.

P.S. In fact, eBay is a very nice place to spot interesting auctions for very reasonable prices. Keep your attention sharp, if you’re in a hunt for something!  Don’t have to over-pay the price. Cheers! 

Meet Amsterdam; film, June 2011

Some time ago I visited the capital, Amsterdam. Must say, I felt just the need to use 35mm film. Unfortunately, I do not recall which film I used. Might be Fuji 200, might as well not.

A city definitely worth a visit. Not just for the touristy places, but also for the atmosphere and feelings all around. Very laid-back and all in all international city indeed. If you’re around, hit me up!

Abandoned Hospital, Ergli, Latvia. Notes with Kodak

Some time ago my location and mount of free time allowed me some quite a lot of urban exploring, some walking around, finding and shooting abandoned places. I still love it.

I think abandoned places hold a great magic inside of them and has their own character and feelings. One can only imagine how much they have experienced before they have been left alone. Amazing stories, if only I knew them all…

Today; The Day When A Genius Was Born

In January 30th, 1984 Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi was born.

I can not express how much his music means to me and what it is a journey to listen to his music. Celebrate the future of music, a galaxy journey.

So here are some scratchy digital notes. A few dedications; inspired by Kid Cudi’s music, my photography and some silly letters.
