Lots of Holga love

film_120_3-3Just got some wonderful rolls back from the lab!

It’s been a while since i was the most active lomographer in the country, but i still cling to all my old cameras. Digital photography is convenient, but seriously, if you want all the warmth and.. i dunno, goodness, of photography, film is the only way to go.

Unfortunately, when everyone else in the world have gone digital, developing film is a bit harder. Plus, i mostly shoot on cross processed 120-film, which is kinda like showing up at a party as the dj with.. cassettes or something. You get the idea.

When i finally found a shop that would take my funky films (after 1 phone call, 2 emails and a trip to every single photo shop in town), it turns out my film is being sent to Stavanger, developed by hand (the machines won’t take it), and presto. Maybe my best accidental photography work as of yet. Most certainly not the most technically proficient work, but by far the most fun to shoot. Take  a look!

PS. for any locals reading, the wonderful photography shop is the tiny one right down from Pepper. I reckon he makes his living changing batteries in wristwatches these days.

Finally the fruits of my labour recently, namely this site, are ready to be shared. I have made the theme i made for this place freely available to you all, if you wish to adopt the same look. Read on for some techno babble about building web sites! (more…)

I did two drawings today that turned out kinda funny, so i chucked’em in the portfolio. Completely unrelated styles, but it’s more fun that way. Click to enlarge.

New drawings

These two weeks at school was a bit of a relief from the usual staring-at-a-monitor-days, with a live drawing class. The images shown are watered-down china ink on paper, painted with a stick. Drawing neck bones for eight hours straight is a bit of neck strainer (no pun), so I ignored the model every now and then to practice some calligraphy, which the drawing stick was practically made for!

New looks!

Hooray! The brand new version of my site is now up and running!
I spent a lot of the summer building this thing. It might not like look a spaceship on top, but trust me, under the hood this thing is an intergalactic juggernaut. The whole header section is designed as a blank canvas, that funky elephant (made for an event in 2008) is just the starting point. More after the jump! (more…)
