After shooting 3 rolls of film in one day on Monday I at least developed one of them already, namely the one from the fires in the evening. I will show the pictures to you tomorrow, because I still have to remove some dust from the scans. Dust is really annoying, but it basically can only be avoided in a stage 4 clean room – not exactly the kind of thing you’d have at home -, because both the glass surfaces of the scanner and also the negatives attract dust like crazy. Well, it’s the price I have to pay for the film look (additionally to the price I have to pay for the film itself …).

So, instead of kids playing with fire I show you kids playing with balloons. These were taken a couple of weeks ago when we were running errands in town.

All pictures taken with: Olympus Pen E-PL3 and Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 ASPH.

Gestures. How do you attract the attention of deaf people? You wave!

And that’s how you startle just about everyone.

And that’s how you strangle a doll …

These helium balloons were given out by Calzedonia in the city centre. Since we’re at the sea I’m sure we can all thank Calzedonia for some dead sea turtles who mistakenly ate their balloons. Entertaining children and photographers has its price and we should be aware of it …

He seems to enjoy having her hand on his head or how do you interpret his facial expression?

Lost his shoe, but not his balloons.
