Aw yea i got the polaroid cameras (three of them at this point) but the cartridges are expensive so i try to only use one per month or something like that. Well have at it you swine
january! i force myself outside
blueberry drinks a beer. i THINK this is with a green filter but im not sure (no memories)
a house burned down
đ· by blueberry
trophy shot. hunted for a new bike and got this one. it's a "scott sub cross 30" i believe. it got no protection from dirt and grime and it lives on the balcony. it's mid winter as well so i can't really use it much due to, road suck.
but i WILL use it i will ride far and i will ride gloriously!
february! longing for spring to begin.
sunrise... picture is looking southeast... and the sun is there, in the trees, just about to breach through. not represented super well here but there's an orange streak across everything. beautiful and cold like in that book
ok so this is taken with another camera than the above BUT it's film from the same cartridge :0 because i locked myself in the wardrobe and transfered half of the film to an old empty cartridge. to divide between cameras
anyway. we are on the ice trying to skate
...but it doesn't work due to the snow and actually outright sludge.
tesla (the cat) followed out on the ice but refused to go further than this. he's very afraid of open spaces (and spheres, but that doesn't apply here)
moms birthday!
i take a trip with the new bike 2 get familiar with it, i'm away for a few hours before i meet a friend and we fuck about for even longer and then i get the most intense headache
so anyway this is the furnace, which heats the entire city, it's on the southeastern border and to get to this spot you need to take quite a detour and circle round from the back, it's a bit secluded, wormy to get there. and full of snow - i had to leave the bike behind for a bit
this is with the other camera! you can see this by the white sparks in the left margini
on the way back north again, there's this INCREDIBLE location, it's an old water tower which is constructed in such a way that when you enter underneath the dome you're INSTANTLY met with a wall of sound - every footstep is amplified and threwn around so that it echoes for several seconds, in the most peculiar pattern like dun - dun dun dun - dun dun dun - dun dun, and then you start to sing and so, and it's wonderful
if i was so disposessed as to carry a flute around, this is where i would play it
we had snow up until like the last week. a bunch of people went through the ice (the eyes). me and J went on a bike trip but i forgot to take a picture. this is instead the next day (incidentally the last in the month), and its a true thing that the snow is now gone and we've had another "highest temperature in february since we started measuring, 150 years ago"
march! could be worse.
try 2 find a way _around_ the airport,, from the northern side (lake there, still not sure it's possible without being at least somewhat illegal) you need to go probably through these dubious industrial areas + actually sneak just above the runway. it's not fenced in but it has that air of "you shoudlnt be here"
some, "machinery"?, in this very same area
biking with J ... on our way to a secret tunnel, theyhad it fenced off TWICE + at one point just bulldozed the path buT we could find our way around it. (it's to be this wholely new industrial area but that's still a few years away be4 we see any buildings. it's just flat dirt for now)
it's the same story of a secret being brutally killed as collateral damage
all the way north and threr's this house with TWO pizzerias in him (and one off to the side just across the road), at this point it started raining and i had a 2 hour ride home and it wasn't so good anymore BUT! the house, the house
easter and there's a cat, our cat he's here
weird birthday situation and we were given a fish, we had fish soup and made a fire and brought all the garden furniture in the car and what not, and it was very cold and windy and i nearly choked on a twig of redcurrants :)
april! outside! but the film is expired
holstorp antenna my beloved. can see this from all over town like a mysterious tower far away. it used to have a little follower antenna like a 5th of its size.. but it's gone now?
circlng the lake that cradles the town, this is on the other side, a little village where a friend grew up. we tried to find his house but it was, completely gone? which is a weird thing to happen to a house, and especially this guys house (it's possible something is afoot)
the furnace once more! from the front this time. (see 5th february picture). i like this building, wish we had more of this kind of thing around here
far south of town, abandoned house. NO clue why this image was attacked, more than the others. new kind of white creep. like sand dunes, ...or hands reaching for the house...
may! outside and trying double exposures and fucking up
double exposure on modded 645 "supercolor" or whatever it's called --- i add in a little switch to the motor then do the trick "open the hatch so the rollers cant get to the frame" then push it back in,
this is on mayday "may 1st" i went around in the industrial dome and some guy in a BWM was very angry with me ("you're not allowed to be here" đ)
me & my mome bike to this wonderful place, my sister is there, they sat waiting on the fence watching us trespass to avoid a large road
aw yiss it's the first warm day, the first unbearably warm day, and i'm ontop of htis mountain where they make asfal,t, drinking this drink (mint liquour + sprite). picture is of asfalt factory. of course
may IInd batch! fucking up more
"thorny fay pool" which is an abandoned quarry. not at all as religuous experinece this year (last time they drew blood via the thorns and led us astray in circles in those thorny bushes, separated us, i was ready to give up. lots of orchids tho)
computer work from home dreaming about going outsidein the trees. fucked up not so charming picture
i dont think i will do B&W photos again. that was very boring
First batch of june. Being outside
really sunny day, biking with J, here is the pylon again. just left of center, faint, ,,
railway--- too dark---. road to dark [west of the wird area for demolition jobs]
nostalgia only. this photo has no value
went to a wind turbine construction site and took some photos! here's a remote shot with all of us in it.
i dont recall the name of the turbines though which is a bummer
we were visiting some place where my dad had worked. a reconstruction of a water mill, several hundred years old. the building was long gone but they could reconstruct it from descriptions.
and we went into the river to cool off. and there was a strange vine that had spread all over the stones.
Second of june, auxilliary
At first these five when visiting the wind turbine construction site at MĂ„lajord:
Me and J had initially scouted this place in early or mid may. Didn't bring cameras! We didn't expect this find. Remote, unless you live close (and some do), and unguarded, unless you go in through, the main entrance. But we stumbled in from the back.
pictured is one completed tower... behind some trees... the white thing behind the yellow truck in the FG is the tip of a wing
these are nordex n-149 towers
later i got mom to drive us, and we drove the same backwater road so that we could sneak in from the north. then these photos were a taken (the express opurpos for thetrip was to take phptotos)
this picture goes to the left of the one above, it's the same wing at the base of the tower (i am standing in the same spot just rotated a little)
this is the BaSE of a _wing_... that's like three meters tall.. higher than me..? one of the gerbels had a laser warning triangle on it. that's bonkers
all of these three wings were marked with "seal faulty" written on some orange tape. but surely they werwe going up ther... :3c
same wing, fourth time, this time a little from below. the opening pictured above is toward the trees to the left here. these things are HUGE, they are HOLLOW, they are toothed. and if you were so inclined, you could climb inside. what does that remind you of
underneath a different wing. there were these wing clamps they were imprisoned in, mint green things, form-fitted.
a little right of center you can see a tower in the background.. this is the one from picture 2 in the seiries
this is close to the top of the hill. this photo must be facing like east south east.
Last three shots... idk... didn't shoot them yet LOL! these were shot much later, in august. See further down!
Third of june! Toward the end of the month~
new underpass construction [closed off], trespassing in the new areas (like the principles, create memories in places that will cease to exist, who said this (cease 2 exist))
midsummer celebration! absolutely adore how wavey and psychedelic this one turned out. a bit ashamed i was too trigger happy and dad can't be seen very well. he didn't have time to make himself seen. you can see his nose.
here begins mine and teddy's world tour of southern öland!
arriving in kalmar, the last city on the mainland, by train. the camera is on top of a circuit box and you can see part of it. real
kalmar as seen from the ferry "dessi", v cute. in some places you were kneaded by the sound from the engines
there's a bridge to öland in the BG, to the right, but we cannot use it since only cars are allowed and the busses apparently won't take bikes :/ (not that i'm complaining, dessi was great)
teddy. that's an orange cap, great stuff. no eyes on this
yours truly. my cap is reflective, and with an advertisement for some company. which i dont care about because its my vacation. what ever!!!!
in the port of mörbylÄnga. like 20km down from the ferry landing. i wanted to capture the size and material of the building, the graffitti, and have it be like a tourist photo.
roids are back!
Fourth of june! Basically these are shot in july.
but yeah. we continue with the world tour of southern öland as started in "third of june"
cement factory of degerhamn. i was so tired here i couldn't hold the camera straight. i wanted to see every part of the factory at once. and the waves were there
first night! we're sleeping in a tent in somebodyds garden. the people have been very nice and given us showers and food. and advice...
24 hours later basically. we're at some weird camping at the eastern shore. we snuck away to drink AURORA and smoke teddy's last cigarette. rest of the night... lie down in the tent (where you could listen to birds) or visit the toilet booth (where you could listen to the football game) and then at like 02:30 we lost the game.
and there was other covert activity... other people sneaking on the shore...
and this concludes the WT of SĂ. there were a _lot_ of shots i didn't take for some reason. lush forests, views over like 30km of grasslands at once, quarries, hiding from rain in a hamburger joint, and so on. well oh well!
a thunderstorm is coming and i'm intrigued by clouds( never took a cloud shot before i dont think?)
theyre making a new place to live, carving it out of the forest (a lot of my old places are gone, flattened out) and while they're working it's all fenced in, i ran from the edge of the forest up to this bridge (will be a zone border, definitely) to take this picture of a commuter train entering the city. then i was immediately chased off by people in hardhats
July, first cartridge
trespassing in the stone factory ... theyve got rows of stone
wind turbine! NEG MICON brand (theyve been bought by vestas since)
little bend in the power grid
went in a quarry (tresspassing again!) and there was a frame of sorts
down at the old cross cart. the earth has been moved and the bedrock laid bare. various... devices and materials are strewn around. (this is on a very hot day and i can be out here maybe 30 minutes before i get seriously sick)
July, second cartridge, this is the log of the lima lime.
i want to have a remote place like this (strange cabin at the end of the power line) where i can send radio
colors didn't come out great, the cart thing was a deep orage
machinery for processing and or sorting rocks, i believe. only streetlight in this whole place, also.
klassiker! kir sippers unite.
Bosse's catamaran is going in the sea! Sweet deal.
July, third cartridge
we're going camping in tyresta. taking a bus to a train to a bus. its a nice system. this is henry btw
our tent, we're in there, and banned from making fires. we ate our sausages and cheeses cold. then we ate berries we found.
through the train window again. this is from a bridge, the scale isn't really apparent but these are LARGE tubes.
(some shots are missing here bc i gave them away.)
August~
(some shots missing here bc i gave them away.)
tresspassing at the cement factory, they make this big lego things which i adore
a train passes by (x31)
railway bridge over the river, it's the same one that we're canoing under in the "june 2" pictures (actually takes place after this)
so i was biking home from [redacted] and this very regal looking cat approached me, passed me by, then immediately got into a fight with this smaller scrawny cat, i tried to break up the fight, later the scrawny one came up to me and was super friendly, and didn't let me leave (came running after the bike)
august event! "canoeing".
this is the same cart as from when looking at wind turbine construction earlier in june.
i am canoeing with Meckie and we are going UNDER the roads, creep creep, serene feeling. i love being under things like this. hidden, protected, undetected. the canoe is silent.
canoeing futher downriver, and there's a train bridge. i used to ride over here. i've walked it once. very hard to fit under.
now we're exiting the city, these are domains on the outskirts, used to play here as a kid (setting fires and what not). the sun is moving. it's getting cold.
and one shot with another camera, ofc.
landing in the dark....
april... may...
me and J biking during "mud season" whne the snow melts and the earth becomes all strange and something to avoidn stepping in, and we take this off road path and it's basically a mudfest
this was going to be a wonderful shot of a weird tower out at sea, but the first shot (tower) was taken several days before the second (sea), and i think as a consequence the whole thing went to hell [it's just white]
visit of the summer house
