8800f

my most precious christmas present this year was a scanner, the mighty canon 8800f. since leaving china, i have been searching for a way to get negatives scanned, quickly, cheaply and with quality, but the results (and the options) were often demotivating. so i ended up dragging film along, shooting less and less of it in the past few months.

i know a lot of people that are able to work magic with a digital camera, but i’m not one of them. to me, digital is efficient and cheap – but it doesn’t quite translate the feeling i get from analogue… and so, i’m quite happy to now be able to shoot and scan again, to my heart’s content.
ferris wheel


the only problem i’ve found so far has been dust. it’s everywhere and i can’t seem to keep it out of my negatives, no matter how much i clean them… tips?

a day in the woods

the weather was gorgeous today, cold yet with clear blue skies, so we picked a few caches in the woods surrounding ljubljana for a chance to get some vitamin d, breathe fresh air and take a walk in the leaves.

the karavanke in the distance
they look so little :)


this is such a beautiful country, my dad says it looks like a bob ross painting :D

a fresh new year

happy new year!
/
on the first day of the new year, we’re at our best intentions. it’s time to look up the lists we made, and make plans to fulfill them as best as possible, tracing deadlines and objectives.

this time around, i’m running our of time to complete my list of101 things in1001 days. may 2010 sounded really far away three years ago, so my dream list included lots of traveling which ended up not happening according to the plans (other places were visited instead), and there are some things that made sense at the time and which now don’t (getting a piano, for instance). i’m focusing on the rest of the items right now, and i want to do as many as i can till then. to start, today we subscribed the economist and i crossed another item off the list. feels good. :)

i’ll be adding other items to my 2010 to-do list. this year, i want to explore slovenia to the last page of our lonely planet book and beyond, i want to go hiking and snowboarding on its mountains. and i want to use the holga more, and start new projects. and…

what about you? any plans or lists? :)
