photography

i like taking photos. sometimes they even turn out well!

i use a minolta dynax 7, a really nice digital SLR film camera, can recommend it if you can find it at a reasonable price. for all pictures presented on this site, i've used konica minolta AF 17-35 lens, and lomography color negative 400 135 film. the photos were developed and scanned by the lovely folks at Götaplatsens Foto, a local camera shop and film lab nearby me.

photo gallery will be here SOON i promise.
