another weekend another beach(s)

We first went to this beach at storøya, which was supposed to be awesome. The only thing i saw, was the awesome number of people(and kids) there. As we were there we took a dip in the water anyways…that done we decided to head to the beach at halden brygge. Nice beach…ok not a sandy beach but less people(and kids).

I dont know how to swim…yes there are people like me. Luckily i have friend who insist i learn how to swim…and thats what i did…not swimming…a bit of floating. It reminds me learning how to cycle. All good.

So i have been here for three years now…and finally i went for a swim. This shows it all depends on the company you keep.

This will probably be the last post before i head to India for vacation.

so we goto Fornebu and found this

there used to be a Airport here

now its just bad architecture


made our way to the beach


found the beach…and a million people and two million kids

back to the bus stop to head to halden…the girls were dressed in green

goto halden and we were happy…

helene bought a 500d and a sigma 70-300…i threw up a bit when i saw the BIG lens…and decided to try it @ 300

the french did not let me down…they made tasty food…not sure if i like the 50/1.8…the 28/2.8 renders better

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…

see out of focus

markus and helga…beautiful couple

oh yeah…it was tasty

we should do this more often

thank you…its good to have a girl in the house…

YES!!! spring is here

dag…he collects pinball machines

and also classic arcade games

pac-man…

some sort of pong

at some point someone figured out…inhaling helium is a lot of fun

3 frames to get a good one…sorry about beating you at mortal combat…

if shoes could kill

beer…tshirt…helium baloon…what else do you need

a leak..to remind you that you are in norway…

warm beer suxx…how come people who drink beer dont know how to pour beer???
anyways…have to check the scans…they did not look so good at first glance…
