really cool big yellow machines tearing down a house :)

a really “gripping” photo this is. the hand is what makes it gripping…

poor guy. couldn’t get up because the sign prohibits it. that’s what austria’s like.

austrians like to read on the tram. that’s why we’re so very intelligent. and we like fancy haircuts.

that’s one of my ex-classmates. studying international development. again, fancy hair.

some people tend to be annoyed by my camera.

fancy glasses are also very hip. i’m about to order some neon coloured ones with hot-dogs on them.

it’s all about the hair. the purple coat helps of course. so do dog tails.

“my kitchen cooks for me.” …but i’ve already eated something.

i was lucky that the bus was empty. unfortunately buses in austria aren’t very comfy with all the metal bars and the lack of a roof.

he just came from the hairdresser. didn’t want his fancy new haircut to be seen yet.

haircuts and dresses…we can learn a lot from our children.

hair and dress. what can i say…

dogs and cameras…two great ways to hook up with girls.

gangsta hip hop kid.

the dog wouldn’t let me focus.

suspiciously looking elder people. typical for austria. especially vienna.

showtime!

these poor girls have furry orange balls instead of hands.

people couldn’t stop staring at them.

“daddy, are these furballs contagious?”

hipster. fancy haircut and plaid shirt.

“i have a wrench.”

iconic photo of the shiny yellow machines. we austrians think they’re gods.

i had to take a photo of my new t-shirt.

the cool thing about the dog on the right is, that it’s made for black and white film.

i stole the ball.

that was when he realized that i wouldn’t return the ball.

very doisneauesque.

the gäng.

it’s essential for austrian kids to know how to pose.

another couple coming from the hairdresser.

he doesn’t really look like a pig.

people without hair are considered outlaws in austria.

the steel horse whisperer.

omg! the hair!!!111! a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!”!”!111

the auto-wb failed. but the hair didn’t!!!

see, expired film makes every photo you take art by it’s weird colours and the nice grain.

the panorama format is really cool. so is the flash for great party pics.

my genius glowing in the dark.

lucky bastard in the back found 70,- EUR on the floor.

“no entry”

always on auto mode.

mom being mad at the curtains.

aaaand another one, cause it is so beautiful.

sexy back-yard.

some art again. cause everyone loves flowers.

myspatzi self.

we go down in style. drinking champagne straight from the bottle.

oooh sh*t! it’s mah bro’!

you thought it was over…but it’s not (based loosely on a song title by the feeling)

aschi showing my his best smile. flash makes people happy.

the kids call this “dancing”.

another nice portrait i could use for myspatzi. showing off my brightly glowing genius.

two lesbians, one bisexual…and one guy soon to be dumped. now, laugh!

m.i.a.

“you’re drinking pussy beer?!”

the first frame from the roll…my confirmation.

flash makes flo happy! don’t miss him wearing a sexy helmet later in this post.

now on to a roll of tri-x.

could someone explain where that black stripe comes from. it’s always on the second or third frame of a roll.

stoopid car!

hippie (short for hipshot).

the matrix is here.

fat people, a bicycle…what else do you need?!

snapping asian tourists is soo easy.

please don’t full view! it’s out of focus!

hippie.

my genius was on vacation that day.

i should crop heads more often.

ha! like i promised. the flo sammyboy wearing a helmet on top of a mountain waiting to go downhill.

crop-field. mind the pun.

hippie.

i did crop more heads.

one last hippie.

clark with his new iFart.

drumroll…FIN

finally i have a lens for my new tool.
already exposed some rolls on it, one developed already…the pics are in this post.
i love th handling and the viewfinder of this camera.
still have to get used to thinking outside the 50mm framelines with the 40mm m-rokkor (i guess i’ll just mask the framelines off and use the entire viewfinder).

but first have at look at some digital snaps of the lil’ fella i found in my garden.

here are th first few snaps i took with the M3.

it’ll take me some time to get good exposures with a fully manual meterless camera again.
i was spoilt by the konica’s shutter priority.

i’d rather not have the car in this frame…too late anyway.

she’ll get a print of this.

the weather’s been really nice the last few weeks…i played beach volleyball nearly every single day or went mountain biking with my beloved bike.

grumpy restroom keeper. not really sharp, but what do you expect when shooting at 1/60th from the hip while walking by.

going home by train with two of my ex-classmates. it’s nice to have some company on the train.

my mom’s already seeing this post coming to an end.
