Bye bye winter clothes
Though it is not that summerish and to be honest not even springish in this neck of the woods, I’ve decided to change my winter clothes for spring and summer! So, bye bye to all of these…
Wondering how my summer clothes look like? Well, they are not that much different to the winter ones…

Howth, with expired film
Though it has been a while since I’ve been spellbound by the funky colors and effects expired films can produce, it’s only recently that I’ve embraced shooting them.
Having told you already about my recent temperamental camera issues, there is nothing left for me to do but to show you the photos I took last week in Howth with the first of a bunch of expired films I recently bought.
Though I didn’t use a film expired over two/three decades (… every time on the web I come upon photographers who are using so old films I like imagining stories on how they put their hands on them…) I’m quite pleased with the coloring I got so now I can’t wait to have the one I used earlier this week developed!
Have a nice weekend, amici miei, and don’t forget that Sunday April 29 is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day!

Blackrock, low tide
I took this photo in Blackrock, where I live, immediately after jumping onto a train that took me to Howth. Can you see that stripe of land on the left? Well, there is Howth where last week I spent a couple of very enjoyable hours along with my Yashica.
I hadn’t used this camera since the shutter speed wheel, all of a sudden, let me down. Some of you will remember that it happened while I was in Oxford last November.
You can imagine my surprise when after so many months I picked up it again and I noticed that… ta-dah… the wheel was not stuck anymore! So why is the photo so fuzzy? Because while the shutter speed wheel has come back to its senses, the light meter has conked out! Don’t ask me how that happened, I have not a clue…
Tomorrow I’ll upload the photos I took in Howth, some of which in spite of everything are quite nice!
