window blues dig holes

bessa R4 (soon to be R3). I said that one month ago, i know. I don’t know what these big-ass-photo-store dudes do. 400tx pushed to 1600. these frames are mostly a test on the nokton 40mm 1.4. the post is uberboring. me, john and theo again at Zack’s pub. awful lighting and shaky hands.   theo is the type of guy that could never hurt an ant. I reconsidered after looking his eye here. george’s house. that’s andrei. i feel sorry for myself for this one.I saw this cool stencil in a park somewhere in prague. “i won’t talk to anybody who listens to madonna”. way to my bathroom. lame.toys have fun too. lame. and some more lame shots. In this you can clearly see: gizeh slim filters, javanse jongens rolling tobacco, a notebook, my tram card, Glue by Irvine Welsh, three dirty glasses, a empty wine bottle, something I cannot recall, my empty university index, and a post-corn-flakes dish. wicked. 

mornings, trips then nights

By the time I got the Bessa I pretty much abandoned the AE-1. I had this film inside there for a looong time. Finally I finished it and had it pushed to 1600. The local lab turned out to be a success. You will see the bubbles, they are amazingly big and ugly.Anyway, Canon AE-1, 50mm 1.4, Ilford HP5+ 400 @ 1600. Vasilis, me and Dino went to prague to meet a friend that was doing a eurotrip these days.the guy (kostas)went out on a very touristic tour of prague for Kostas. I started shooting miracles like this or thisOn monday I went with Andreas for breakfast before uni. we love overexposuresAfter uni I continued my health life in mcdonald’s with Theo and Peter   Later on I met George and Andrea (a czech dude). For some weird reason we ended up in a pet shop. creepy then dinner then back home Next day I met with John and his girlfriend Vandaoh Dino was there as well. Sort of, he was too busy looking chicks in hi5I grabbed a beer  finally, last frame. I don’t really know when or where. Vasilis.  

homecoming

i noticed a massive rising in the blog’s pageviews! this blog has reached the unimaginable number of four (4) visits per day. spectacular. anyway, some shots with the beloved crappy minolta AL-F. Shot on tmax pushed two steps all the way to 1600.having coffee at si doux, back home in Patras.a way less interesting photo. for understandable reasons. (it’s greek, don’t try to understand what it says) i think me and stelios spent more than 5 hours at playhouse playing table games. true, i don’t have a life at all.so long greece. this is again in Plzen with john, vanda and elias. i sucked in bowling.found andreas on my way back from uni the next morning.self emoportrait.last frame and my favorite, george cooking fasolada. if you don’t know what it is please don’t google it. the looks are so distracting, but the taste… oh boy.  

i second that emotion

After about a year trying, I figured out I suck in writing. no much future on that for me. in an abrupt twist I thought of changing this blog to a photoblog. at least I like to think I’m bit better on that. then there was the language riddle. should I do this in greek or english? but then again, the greek community here is bit lame and definitely not interested in the photography-like of an eighteen year old dude studying in czech republic. besides, my international fans (all four of them) would be disappointed. anyway, the following is the first roll of the Voigtlander Bessa R4 (soon to be R3) using the Ultron 35mm f1.7 (neat). shot on Ilford HP5 400 and pushed to 1600 asa.me and kostis had lunch in Husa. it was time to load that baby. after developing i realized this lady was looking directly into the glass. damn, i feel weird when this happens. some beerafter lunch we left for the ticketpro center, Cure concert ahead. (man these glasses are tacky). internet for 1cz per minute (sometimes i really feel this is czech republic)john joined us later on (nice word play). that’s some pure example of bad framing. andreas, john and elias at Andel coffee house.andreas with the most gay look ever.back home, i had a nice welcome from my kitchen looks.self portrait blah blah. next morning i went to see flavia in prague. for the ones that don’t know it, last semester i got a transfer to pilsen. about thirty minutes away.(i really need to clean my scanner)last frame, flavia thinks punk is cool again. girls.
