I recently got this old twin lens camera and  was looking forward to seeing if it works.  The first time I used twin lens; as expected it is tricky to frame the images. After all, I'm happy it works and will play with it more on sunny days like this.

from the darkroom with love

Today I spent epic 5 hours in our college darkroom, first time all on my own, printing loads of pictures....unforgettable.

I will write up all in a blog what and how I did so I can remember later when I am old and senile.
That is soon.

Peace

"my soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child;
its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same.
everything interests me, but nothing holds me.
i attend to everything, dreaming all the while
i'm two, and both keep their distance
- siamese twins that aren't attached"

frames from budapest

Random photos taken in Budapest with my medium format Holga. Probably not the most appropriate film used...still these photos are kept as good memories from my recent visit to this stunning and strange city.  This new batch is also part of the 'mission' and my practice with Holga camera.  Not that easy as I'd expect from a toy camera with no settings and I've been trying to get used to it. These are not my first photos with this camera but I still find very challenging to choose good subjects, keep the camera still and decide when is enough or not enough light.  I will get better with time, I hope.
