Thanks:)

I went there on the 3rd week of july, and stayed for only 5 days or so. It was really nice to return there.
I showed my (ex)-girlfriend (we've broken up since) around town, and was amazed at myself for remembering the ways to go so well, without a map, I felt like it was my town.
I want to go back, but i'd like to visit some other place first. Prague maybe.

By the way, Lisbon is a cheap plane ticket away from there, and you must come here while you're in europe.

thanks. I like the unpredictability of it, even more when I take night shots with different coloured flashes.

some shots from the summer:

i can't hear what you're saying, the blue is too loud.

first black and white film (35mm):

I used my Holga camera. It was developed at my friend's house with expired chemicals. I think I messed up... but still it's fun to see the sprocket holes

These don't seem messed up at all. I like them a lot, although I'm really a big fan of those colors, as you know. The ones on the beach are quite amazing (and no, I'm not just saying that because I'm a perv).

i like that one.

thanks. I used kodak E100-VS film and had it cross-processed. I really love the colour results.
Yesterday I loaded a roll of proper medium format black and white film on the camera, but haven't taken any pictures yet...

Excellent. It's always good to see someone experimenting with the medium. Your double-exposures in particular are really cool. Reminds me of http://www.ryanmcginley.com/irregular_regulars.php. I've wanted to mess with a toy camera for a while but haven't yet; always seemed like a lot of fun. Anyways, keep on messing with this shit - the results thus far are intriguing.

Thanks Chest. I liked that Link.
Here are some new ones that I like.

Alson I bought an old Zenit-E 35mm camera.. vcery cheap, I like it a lot... still learning how it works though. Will post it's pictures.

Start haunting estate sales and what-not. I once picked up several cameras from one:

Argus C3 Rangefinder 35mm
Kodak Retinette Rangefinder 35mm
Kodak No.1 Autographic Jr. for 120 film (from 1917!)
Kodak EK4 Instant Camera
Polaroid 320 Land Camera
and a couple box cameras, some lighting equipment that doesn't work, etc.

Anyways, not bad. Even the dustiness of the film, despite its accidental quality, fits your aesthetic. It's like technical ability is irrelevant with your style (you don't seem too concerned with formal qualities...and these days I don't think precision is necessary to be successful if the photo is beautiful), but it's not simply snapshot photography, either. Beautiful!

Thank you. actually the "dust" is scratches on the scanner. i don't have one myself, so I use the one in my department in the university. It's not in the best shape....

The holga is very inpredictable and very hard to control. I think that these last "twin effect" double exposures represent the most control and understanding I have of it. Especially the first two. They are exactly what I wanted them to be.
