This evening we went to a little exhibition of a local photographer together with some friends from the language school. I only took 4 pictures today myself, but I got the opportunity to speak to some photographers and had a good time. Living here certainly is different when you know people.

Before going out though I engaged with the usual kind of housekeeping though: Scanning, developing and editing. It was easier today because I also had the morning to do this and I hope I can keep my routine up during the week even while I’m studying. After a week I feel that my Spanish is already improving a bit, but I definitely need more time to get comfortable with it again. And of course it needs practice practice practice. I’m enjoying the process, because I actually quite like learning languages.

And you know, I’ll actually have lots of opportunity to practice, because in April we’ll definitely be going to Argentina now. Today we got the tickets and now we’re going to plan the details of the trip properly! I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting to go for many years, but with my health it was never possible. Now my health is much better though and finally I can make this dream come true! As you can imagine I’m already planning which film I’m going to take! I guess it’s going to have to be cheap film, because obviously I’m planning to shoot a lot!

All pictures taken with: Olympus XA, F.Zuiko 35mm f/2.8.

I don’t think that’s how you use a skateboard. I might be wrong though.

At 800 this has a bit of structure, not too bad though.

No, I wasn’t hiding in the bushes … I was just walking along the path up further up the hill.

That’s a serious fence … no idea why it is there.

The mobile won the battle for attention.

Very possessive that!
