Hello fellow wasters!
« on: February 24, 2014, 11:32:25 PM »
Hey boys and girls! My name is Albin and i thought I would introduce my selfe and become more active on the board after months of just lurking about. I'm a big fan of Skorj's work as well as moominsean, that's what got me here some 8 moths ago.

About me: I'm a 24 year old kid from Sweden currently living in Umeå. Meaning it's freezingly cold and dark most of the year perfect for analog film photography!  ;D
I studied film (as in moving pictures) in school and diverted to photography as it wasn't as resource intensive at the time (prior to the 5D Mark II). The past year I've been going back to basic with film as I never got to experience that part of the photographic history. Many I like the tactile feel of film and the cameras. As well as it makes me slow down a bit and enjoy the actual process of creating a photograph.

So currently I'm rocking a hasselblad 500C/M (thanks to my grandmother for holding on to that one!), a LC-A nifty camera mostly used for practicing drunken analog photography, a Polaroid SX70 and thanks to Skorj a Polaroid 600SE (bummed about the discontinuation af FP-3000B!).

That's a short intro of my self. See you all around!

Here's an old-ish picture a friend took of me with the GOOSE

Welcome!
You will fit right in around here!

I'm curious about the "drunken"analog  LC-A photography?

Are you the drunk or are others?

Hi there Albin!

Yes, Skorj was also my mentor  ;D. Has he asked any cameras from you yet? My advice is to offer him your most expensive camera first (he always refuses first camera offer  ;)).

Carlos.

Diane Peterson has a Swedish chime to it so I could imagine you're relativs originated from Sweden. No I haven't! But I've done some research and it definitely sound interesting. I'll be sure to try it out :)
