High speed new year, valentines day and east side

…no i was not on speed…

the film was high-speed…Ilford 3200 which i bought in london how boring…whatever…

this time i had loaned a Nikon FM + 50/2.8 and later a Nikon FM + 35/2 from some guys at work…i am pretty good at mooching off stuff…

anyways…this the analog version of a bit of the >new year<

goto go home…make some nice dinner for roomies and me…and then watch formula one…

take care

B’days and running around

two bdays in a week…crazy…markus and dag

running around to get the three rolls of film dev and scanned and make prints of the digi stuff…crazy

we have two pro labs in Oslo Studio Technika and redlab

i usually get everything done at Studio Technika…which sadly is also the most expensive lab in norway…

so this time i decided to try something diff…for one the guy who runs redlab is nicolay’s friend

i get to the lab to learn that he can only dev it and and neither scan or print it…he directed me to akerfoto to get the film scanned….

nice…i am being ironic

so this is what happened…

day 1
goto redlab, give negs for dev,
goto japanphoto to get the 50/1.8 for markus…out of stock,
goto fotoknudsen buy lens

day 2
goto studio technika, give 2 digi images for 30×45,

day 3
goto redlab, pickup negs,
goto akerfoto, give negs…machine broken…will take a day to scan 3 negs, buy a 30×45 frame for the prints,
goto studio technika, pickup prints,
get back home, frame is 30×45 and image area is 20x something…damn,

day 4
goto akerfoto, replace frame, film not scanned yet,
goto akerfoto after a hour, pick up scans…

thats the story of my life this week…

at least…on wednesday we had wine and helga had baked the most awesome cake/icecream thingy…and then made some stop-motion stuff with the eye-toy helga bought for markus

saturday…nearly missed the bus to dags party…good food again…some tapas stuff…i am bored of beer…yeah yeah…whatever…most of the gang left for oslo and managed to leave me and few other people behind…assholes…yes i am pissed…4 days of up down…and then being left behind…hmm…not good…bad karma i tell you…anyways…got a free ride back home…all good

not really happy with the digi stuff…for some reason most of the focus was off…have to find out why…

shashank uchil oslo

shashank uchil oslo
