Canon Ae-1: Ikra


Today's breakfast: black coffee, smoked salmon & grilled shrimps. Not exactly the typical Italian breakfast, I guess, but it reminded me of this picture I took last fall of some cheap caviar tin a friend brought over. Worst caviar ever, but anyway. Just felt like updating my neglected blog, you know.

LC-A+ Russia Day : Summer Night Glimpses

Bene and I managed to take some 24 hours off to go to the seaside. It was barely a day, but we manage to sunbathe like lizars, swim in the sea, dine out with my lifeguard friend Emi and then get a drink at my former favorite lounge bar [the previous owner used to make the best negroni in the whole world!]. The first two were taken in my bedroom at my granma's seaside house, the third one in the dehor of the bar I was talking about, and the last one is one of the books I've been reading this summer, William S. Burroughs' "Junky".http://www.flickr.com/photos/sidseltilotte/7863788460/in/photostream

Diana Mini: The Raging Puppy


Some time ago Dru and I were playing the raging puppies in my bedroom, which is something we do on a daily basis. The roll in the Mini was yet to finish, so I gave it a try.


 I actually thought nothing would turn out as she was shaking like crazy.


She really was indeed.


And she was also making the funniest growls.


I also happened to shoot an accidental double exposure, but her white fur is just too white to see it.


Then all of a sudden she calmed down. And grew quite serious. 


And so I thought to take a couple of silly self portraits.


I told you they were silly. 

Overall, I'm quite pleased with this film, and I guess this camera  is pretty growing on me as well.

Lomo LC-A+ "Russia Day": I Feel Good


Long time no see, I know and I'm sorry. I've been über busy, lately. School is taking most of my time, then there's work and then there's hanging out with my pals. I couldn't feel any happier: I'm doing quite good at school, my last exams went 24/30, 25/30 , 27/30, three 28/30 and I even managed to get a 30/30 cum laude, which totally made not just my day or week, but probably the whole exam session!
I'm also making friends with the other kids in the first year [we're 90% girls, which is pretty awful and yet obvious when it comes to language schools]. I was afraid I could end up being the lonely girl having lunch all by herself for ages, but it's safe to say I'm doing good in fitting in.

I don't have much time to hang out with Bene & Hector, or N, or whoever, but last Friday Bene had a sleepover at my place and the next day we had some shopping [light shopping, sigh!] and then Chinese take-away dinner at my place with Hecty, who left at around 3am after a nice chat indeed.
Talking about photography, I totally suck. I was supposed to take some rolls to the lab but didn't manage to. Tomorrow I should be going shopping again, hope i make it to the lab [and really hope I get something half decent from these Christmas negs].

I guess I miss having a real blog, my tiny corner in the www to tell people about what goes on in my life. I know this was supposed to be all about my attempt at analogue photography and stuff, I'm not even sure I'll get back to heavy blogging about my worthless existence, feel free to unfollow me in case.

The mirror shot with my beloved bunny ears is just because. Just because I'm feeling good, and cheerful.

Lomo LC-A+ "Russia Day": Absorbed


I love the new uni, I really like my new mates and I don't really mind having an exam per day for these two weeks. I just hate that I can't get to take any pictures. I should totally snap a whole roll just to show you where I've been spending my days lately. I definitely should. But, honestly, I'm glad to say that photography is the least important thing in my life, at the moment.

I hope Bene and I get to do something worth taking pictures of this weekend, though. Also, I should drop some rolls off at the photolab. Also, I still have 4 rolls of 4 different types of film loaded to 4 different cameras to finish. Not to mention medium format film. I suck, I know.

Anyway, t's 10:30 in the morning and I'm about to have my French simultaneous translation exam in a few hours and I just need a break. And some breakfast.

See ya guys, I'm off to eat something.

Canon Ae-1: Tiny T.


Last post featured my mom's jumbo puppy, aka Big T. This time it's all about my sister's tiny pomeranian, aka Little T.
This little guy's been living with us since 2006 and yet I don't have many pictures of him... like less than 20, digital pics included - omg! This is mostly due to the fact that he's an hyperactive buddy always on the go, and ain't no shutter fast enough to capture him. Some time ago I was lucky enough to find him sleeping on my bed while I was hanging around with my camera, so there he is. Isn't he cute?


I'm in love with the lightleak in the first picture and I'm in love with my Canon Ae-1 too, obviously!

Canon Ae-1: TroubleMaker


Last summer my mom had the worst idea ever: taking a Rottweiler puppy home. I mean, she's cute and all, but she's such a troublemaker. At least, I have another subject to take pictures of, and she's so lazy that she never minds to pose for me.


Let's face it, this girl looks pretty intense. She was only five months old when I took these [last October], she now looks more like a nasty killer-dog, and weighs a ton. And loves to chew stuff.
Don't tell mom I put these on the www, or she might think I'm kinda fond of her puppy, which is not, I promise :-)

Lomo LC-A+ "Russia Day": Time Well Spent




Late October. Waking up late, eating pasta on my bed while watching The Vampire Diaries, reading, drawing, watching some more tv and then going back to sleep.

The green light is just natural light through some weird curtains I 've made that my mom hates. It doesn't look that green in real life, actually.
