Just back from two weeks travelling around the Fjord region of Norway, including a session on Jostedalsbreen, with a spot of ice climbing. All good :-)

I spent a few days in Hamburg – much nicer that one expects from a large port city.

I shot a whole film of Velvia of this blue stuff, some time in 2005. Didn’t get the film developed until now – just seems like a lot of effort when I’m used to instant results from shooting digital.

I do miss the wide-angle though – and the colours that I get from Velvia with no effort. It’s easy with digital images to forget that there’s an artistic process involved too…

This is a Roland statue, in Rīga. Before arranging this trip, I hadn’t realized that both Tallinn and Rīga were Hansestädte – and the influence is clear throughout both of them.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a large pile of prints…

There’s a relatively limited amount of junkfood chains in Tallinn and Rīga – the token McDonalds, and the local (and unappealing) equivalent called Hessburger.

Part of the reason for this is the availability of tasty local junkfood, such as the Estonian pancakes served up in Kompressor. This is a studenty place in the old town, where £2 will get you a plate full of stuffed pancake.

Looking through the Calendar on Flickr, I realised that I have totally given up on looking for things to shoot in everyday life – just save up for the travels really. With that in mind, I shall try again.
