Against the hectic world

Oh man oh man, I've been so busy. Summer is really the worst time at work, since you need to cover for the people who are on a vacation (Mine's in the fall, no worries). So much work to do and so little time and after work you gotta go out since the two weeks Finland has a summer you need to go out. That's what people do. Oh fine I admit, I have been indoors on a sunny weather, sue me.

I wanted to do something that wasn't hectic or wasn't rushed or anything that needs to be done now! So it came to my mind that back 2005 I made bunch of solargraphies. You build a pin hole cam, let it sit in the sun for couple of weeks and scan it and photoshop a pic out of it. One of the slowest ways of making photographs. I thought to myself: Perfect!

So I bought two cans of those chips in a can, not mentioning the brand or anything. You know, I've always found it that once I pop one, I can stop... Odd. So I managed to get one can empty and had to ask for a help for the another one, but I did get them both empty and build my cam in them. Got my photopaper too, even if it was a bit of a struggle.

So today I'm going to hang them both up to a tree in my grandmother's place and in a week I'll see if I managed to f*** it all up or do I get a picture out of it. Exciting and I am glad I don't have to do anything to it for a week!

Fight the rush!
