This is Exactly How I Feel

Jed sometimes laughs at me and call me a sunflower, because in this bleak country, when spring finally comes, it’s hard not to stop in the middle of the street and turn your face towards the sun and just try to soak it up.

And I’m not the only one to hunt the sunny spots…

My Silver Lomo

Self Portrait, Florence 2011

Back in 2009 I got myself a Lomo LC-A, and I love it to death. I love the immediacy, the shoot-from-the hip mentality, the ever varying results regarding light and colour and sharpness. I love the fact that you can never really know what the image is going to look like. Processing a film is always a surprise. Some images look like crap, and some will be incredibly deep in colour in a sort of eerie way that I can’t explain. It’s a bit of nostalgia, I think, having an analogue, plastic little point-and-shoot. And because it takes you a second to raise it up and shoot (no beeps, no lights, no autofocus), and because you acknowledge imperfection, sometimes you catch moments that you would normally miss. I always bring it with me on trips as an extra backup camera, and I keep bringing back a different perspective.

But that was just the background to this post, really…

As some might have noticed I love cameras and photography a lot. It’s sort of a dear hobby of mine. So, when Jed announced that he was going to make me a silver pendant in the shape of a camera I got very SQUEEEEEE and excited! I wasn’t sure what the result would be though, and I tried to give some hints on how to use the silver clay, but all in all he made this thing by hand all on his own.

And I can’t believe HOW CUTE IT IS! I mean, come on, LOOK AT IT! It’s a teeny tiny Lomo for heaven’s sake!

I love it. I will cherish it until my dying breath. I mean, it’s one thing to buy your woman some bling bling, but to make something like this is just extra awesome. And he always is. Awesome.

Shit My Boyfriend Says

I got a buddy pack and now Boyfriend is trying it out. Mostly for my sake. This really is not the kind of game he usually plays.

Me: “Hun, it’s getting sort of late, I’m going to bed”
BF: *frenetically punches the keyboard*
Me: “It’s after midnight and…”
BF: “I know  I KNOOOW!” *swats with his hand, keep punching all his buttons*

 

As I go to bed I hear snippets of frustration:

“Why won’t it…?!”
“And who the fuck are you?!”
“And why is he on a fucking turtle?!”

Him: I could kill for a piss!

Me: I feel we have different needs right now

Another one of those “speaking of which” nights when we lie in bed and talk aimlessly about anything and nothing, like one does, when one want to talk about ones day with the man one loves:

Me: So I watched this documentary about the mating habits of leopards, and…
Him: Lepers?!
Me: NO! L-e-o-p-a-r-d-s!
Him: Oh! Yeah. That would have been weird. A documentary about the mating habits of the lepers of the Serengeti…
Me: *Turns off light*
