Konica Pop: Crane - To build a building



I miss snapping tons of pictures everyday. I don't have much to take a picture of, at the moment. A new source of inspiration might be on its way, though, but we're not sure about it yet.
Building a building.
The picture above was taken at sunset on May 5th, 2011. Up in the sky are some airplanes during a drill.
Camera: Konica Pop. Film: Fuji Sensia 200 cross-processed in C-41. My crappy photolab uses the cheapest chemicals around, they dilute them and use them over and over, that's why it almost doesn't look x-proed.
I'm quite fond of this photograph, anyway, I especially like the crumbled wall and the colors of the sky.

Konica Pop: Dinner with Friends



Sometimes some of my high school classmates and I meet for a pizza. We're just a few guys, well, mostly girls, but it's always fun.


Our last meet-up was on Saturday, April 23rd. We went to the usual cheap restaurant for a pizza and a soda, and then straight to our favourite ice-cream bar in town.


The atmosphere was so relaxed, we chatted a lot, and shared some interesting gossips about some other former classmates and stuff like that. Tabby mode: activate!


The only guy of the batch -he must have felt like some kind of a martyr that night!


The hardest part of the date: choosing the ice-cream flavour!


While our friends were trying to make up their minds, I. and I snapped a few pictures.

Konica Pop: Tower of London, A Goodbye


April 19th was our last day in London. We woke up pretty early, but M and I decided to go to Tower Bridge on a rush that eventually turned into one hour on the tube + 20 minutes at the Tower + one more hour on the tube. Once back to the hotel, we collected our stuff and left [and I left there a wonderful t-shirt I had bought for my sister in Camden too].


We arrived in Victoria Coach Station, in front of our National Express coach to Luton, at 12:59. It was supposed to leave at 1pm, so the driver didn't allow us to get on it. So we had to buy two more tickets for the airport, and wait one more hour.


Once on the coach, we got stuck in the usual car jam for quite a long time. Our flight was to depart at 4:25pm. We were quite afraid we might miss it. We luckily were being entertained by a little bilingual girl who left the both of us speechless. It was one of those few moments that make you go "I want to have kids someday". Than you see another kid puking on his mom's neat dress, and you remind yourself of how simple life just is this way.


Once at the airport, we were lucky enough to be offered two priority boarding pass by the hostess, who also put our hand luggage in the stow. Aren't we two lucky girls?
On board we had two wonderful croque monsieur sandwiches [we were pretty starving], we landed in Milan on time and then M's parents brought us home. 


It was a wonderful time and I really can't wait to go back to London again -I'm addicted!

Konica Pop: Morning at the London Eye

I've always considered the London Eye a mere tourist attraction and no one could ever convince me to waste £25 on a ride on thte tallest ferris wheel et cetera et cetera...
On my last trip to London, though, M. insisted on two things I regarded as time-wasting-attractions: the London Eye and Tower Bridge.
I eventually had to change my mind on the latter, while I'm still pissed about wasting half a day of my life on a giant steely helm.


It was April 17th, it was crowded as hell because of the London Marathon [I'm no sporty spice so I was just annoyed by the people everywhere and the tube stations all shut down]. It took us ages to get from Westminster to the Jubilee Gardens. We got there around lunchtime, it was so hot and we were so hungry. Hot dog time again. We had lunch in the park near the Eye. I refused to take a direct picture of it. But it was so sunny and M's shades reflected the light so beautifully that I couldn't resist taking some pictures as cliché as they could be. Shades picture.


I feel guilty about these shots. This one's the last, I promise.


Then it was self-portrait's time. I'm the one on the left. And I know I look super horrible, whatever.


The lovely weather, the weird people everywhere, the joyful kids and the yummi hot dog made it a little easier to bear the presence of such obscenities as these below.


The afternoon was better on the photographic side, but i much worse on the bleeding-feet side. Shame on you, Transports of London!
