The Highland clearances was a forced displacement of population during the 18th and 19th century. Landlords cleared their land from their tenants to practice extensive sheep raising and evicted sometimes brutally the whole population from the place they lived on. They had then to find a new place to live, finding refuge on the most difficult lands of the highlands, along the cliffs, where only heath and ferns can grow. Today, there are still remains of these "clearances villages" ...

Damn, I was really hoping that these shots would turn out well. I shot this on a beautiful day when the sky was a painting of heavy clouds and the usual blues. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
First of all, the film was subpar. I really love Kodak Elitechrome 400 but this batch that I got from eBay clearly wasn't stored very well. This first roll was very grainy and I am assuming the other would be as well.
Then there's the camera. Don't get me wrong, I am loving the Lomo LC-W but I am only getting used to mine, which I only got two weeks ago. I had no idea how wide it really was. The end result was my subjects looking like they're really far from the camera, even though they were only 1-3 meters away in actuality.
Needless to say, the photos didn't live up to my expectations.
But it's all well, I still love the Lomo LC-W. It's so flexible and powerful for a compact camera. I've made a lot of camera investments (ehem, purchases) this year and so far, this camera has been one of the best I've gotten.
I like shooting the same place over and over; becoming familiar with the area, the lights, and the scenes. This particular time that I reprise Taylor street, I used an extremely rare Imation Scotch Chrome 400 ISO expired in 1999 and sacrifice my LC-A:( It was nearly 0 °F (-18 °C) and my hand were freezing along with the camera battery and the delicate mechanics of the LC-A. I finish the roll of film as quickly as possible; a blur there a blur here. I don't care what's on the film, I just want to be warm. The resulting photographs convey a certain urgency while maintaining my usual style. The LC-A died shortly after this shoot in the cold :( She now awaits surgery for a faulty shutter.
the bethanien was a former hospital in the urban district kreuzberg. in the year 1970 the hospital was closed and the building should have been pulled down what was prevented by the people of the district and then the building became a listed building. it got famous in germany when a part of the building - which was completely empty at that time - was occupied by people who from that moment on lived there. they gave the building the name "georg-von-rauch-haus" - georg von rauch was a guy living as city-guerilla in berlin and who was shot by the police. the famous german band "ton steine scherben" wrote a song about the building and the police and the city governemnt who wanted the people to leave the building: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgKncnjKefo
today it´s an artist-factory and there is a restaurant and still a part of the building is occupied.
I was stranded in Kasakhstan with plenty of time on my hand. But suddenly I bumped into the charming Aizhan Bekmukhamedova, who is running the fashion web-portal http://look.tm/ in Almaty. I asked her, if she would help me to organize a local fashion-shooting and within hours she came up with a handful of great models. This is the seventh album of this series.
It was Christmas eve. I borrowed my friend's camera, a NIkon N2000. It was my firs time using a camera with lightmeter and several lenses. I was my first try with Fuji velvia too, so I didn't know what to expect from this photos. My birthday was close, so Qrro (http://www.lomography.es/homes/qrro) gave the film and also gave me some tips about using the lightmeter. The results: Overexposed, dark and not focused photos. I wasn't sure if i wanted to share them because I'm not completly happy with this album, but I really like some of the results. These are my favorites :)
One Saturday last month, I found myself in the Venice Beach area..brought the Hasselblad,finished a roll of expired Portra 400NC on some bikes, was not that inspired until I walked into an alley and saw this couple doing a shoot. I loved the art behind them and them being there added more flavor to the art so I asked if I can take photos while they were taking photos. They agreed and were so nice. She even borrowed my lubitel and asked if she can pose with it. Then we chatted after and they urged me to keep shooting and shooting and don't give up. Their names are Winn and Darmirra. Having that moment was the highlight of my shooting time and I was ready to shoot more after that. Later on I found out that Darmirra is a rising comedy actress here in L.A., does stints at the Laugh Factory and later on will be on a sitcom at the Oprah Network.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
Oggi vi faccio vedere i risultati del TEST Perutz 100 Chrome sviluppata in C41.
STORIA IN BREVE
Otto Perutz (nato 1847 a Teplice, morto 1922 a München) è stato un chimico che aveva finito i suoi studi a Zurigo con una tesi di laurea su un argomento foto-chimica e divenne direttore di una fabbrica di prodotti chimici. Nel 1880 ha fondato la propria impresa, una fabbrica per fare lastre fotosensibili. Questo è diventato il Perutz-Photowerke. La società è stata acquistata nel 1964 dalla concorrente Agfa. Poi il marchio Perutz che era diventata famosa per film a colori diapositiva è stata mantenuta in vita per un po '.
TEST
Bè....c'è poco da dire.
Con una pellicola scaduta da 15 anni non si sa mai quello che può uscire fuori.
Da questa prova con sviluppo in C41, si può dire che bisogna sottoesporre almeno di 3 stop perchè sembra che con l'invecchiamento, la nostra Perutz, sia molto più sensibile del normale.
NB - Il test fa riferimento solo a questo lotto che ho comprato su internet e non su tutte le Perutz 100 Chrome del mondo. :)
Non si sa come e dove sono state conservate.
IN CONCLUSIONE
Mi piace molto l' effetto di questa pellicola scaduta, regala toni meravigliosi ed imprevedibili, inoltre assomiglia vagamente alla Lomography Purple XR 100-400.
Non credete!?!?!?!? :D
The Sunshine Coast Fibreshed team put together a day of exhibits to bring together local animal fibre producers with local fibre artists including spinners, weavers, felters, hookers and knitters. Film developed in Xtol, stock solution for 9 minutes.
I went to the exhibition of the Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý. I really enjoyed it. I decided to do something. I used overdue film 1986 to strengthen эффекта.Немного of the photographer Miroslav Tichý: Miroslav Tichý (1926 - 2011) was a photographer who from the 1960s until 1985 took thousands of surreptitious pictures of women in his hometown of Kyjov in the Czech Republic, using homemade cameras constructed of cardboard tubes, tin cans and other at-hand materials. Most of his subjects were unaware they are being photographed. A few struck beauty-pageant poses when they sighted him, perhaps not realizing that the parody of a camera he carried was real.
His soft focus, fleeting glimpses of the women of Kyjov are skewed, the spotted and badly printed - flawed by the limitations of his primitive equipment and a series of deliberate processing mistakes meant to add poetic imperfections.
Of his technical methods, Tichy has said, "First of all, you have to have a bad camera", and, "If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the entire world.
During the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, Tichý was considered a dissident and badly treated by the government. His photographs remained largely unknown until an exhibition was held for him in 2004. Tichý did not attend exhibitions, and lived a life of self-sufficiency and freedom from the standards of society.
When I was in high school, I found this poem by Christina Rossetti called "Remember". It's about losing a loved one. It spoke to me so much that it became one of my three favorite poems (the other two are by Shakespeare and Neruda).
When I started doing Lomography a few years back, I wanted to do a series inspired by this poem. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to. Then less than two years ago, I got my heart broken so badly and this poem helped me through that rough time.
The wound has long healed and I finally have the courage talk about moving on through my photos. So I packed my Belair and my amazing tripod and set off to Malibu - to shoot a series inspired by both the poem and my heartbreak.
Of course, the results aren't as good as they would have been had I used my Mamiya but I'm still happy, if only because I finally got to do this series and because it's a labor of love.
My boyfriend and I got up at 5 am to drive all the way to Malibu for this series. My hands and feet were freezing the entire shoot AND we got a parking ticket for it so I really really hope people will enjoy the photos, even if they're not amazing quality.
Eid ul-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr, Id-ul-Fitr, or Id al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity," while Fiṭr means "breaking the fast". The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month Shawwal.
Eid-ul-Fitr has a particular salah (Islamic prayer) consisting of two raka'ah (units) and generally offered in an open field or large hall called an Eed-gah.[1] It may only be performed in congregation (Jama’at) and has an additional extra six Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while saying Allah-u-Akbar [God is Great]), three of them in the beginning of the first raka'ah and three of them just before ruku' in the second raka'ah in the Hanafi school.[2] This Eid ul-Fitr salah is, depending on which juristic opinion is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) or mandoob (preferable).[1]
Muslims are commanded by God in the Qur'an to complete their fast until the last day of Ramadan[3] and pay the Zakat al-fitr before doing the Eid prayer.

From my first experience I like it more in low light than under the sun light.
Once upon a time we've drove to hitch-hiking to Alupka in Vorontcov Palace. It's been a sun spring day. I load in my Zorki 10, (russian automatic camera from 70-s) Kodak Color 200 film, overdue in 2006.
When we arrive to Alupka, we met our friend Alexey from Moscow, and gone walking in Vorontcov Garden situated under walls of Vorontcov Palace.
Vorontcov Palace - is one of the oldest and largest royal palaces in all of Crimea. It's a great work of Edward Blore, Scottish architect.
The basis of the architectural design of the palace was the idea of the alchemical marriage between East and West: half of the palace looks like a European castle, another part looks like a Orient palace.
Winston Churchill in book "Triumph and Tragedy: The Second World War" write about this place: "The setting of our abode was impressive ... Behind the villa, half Gothic and half Moorish in style, rose the mountains, covered in snow, culminating in the highest peak in the Crimea. Before us lay the dark expanse of the Black Sea, severe, but still agreeable and warm even at this time of the year. Carved white lions guarded the entrance to the house, and beyond the courtyard lay a fine park with sub-tropical plants and cypresses."
