Salt of the earth

Boxes
Never am I really up to date with what I made during the day when I post here. It’s mostly stuff of the weeks before, not stuff I made that very day. Today is no exception. I think it’s because when I make something, I am in ‘creating mode’, and blogging about what I make feels like ‘observation mode’. Apparently they exclude each other within the limits of at least one day.
Drawing naked people: I love it. I thought it would be an awkward peeping sensation, but instead there is no feeling whatsoever that anyone in the room is embarrassed. At all. It feels very clinical, and I think that’s good. It means that we are all focused on just looking and conveying what we see onto whatever it is we are drawing on.

Bin
This is a photo that I took before the battery of that particular cassette went dead. I am very proud of it. It fits the theme that I have identified but haven’t been able to properly name. Something with still-lifeness, homes, unwanted things, light, colours, acceptance… oh well. It will get a name eventually.

Holga photographs on Fuji Provia 400 ASA medium format film. Watch in full size (click button ‘FS’ in right bottom corner)!
This series is about the things in my kitchen I usually hate: all the clutter, the heater pipes that are visible everywhere, the disorganised cabinets, the leaking roof that’s causing brown stains everywhere on the ceiling. I wanted to see the plus sides to these things (to ‘love’ my kitchen more if you will). I think these photos show off the beauty of my leaking, stained, cluttered kitchen pretty well.
