darkrooming.

after more than one year in Helsinki - I have eventually managed to collect my darkroom equipment from Italy and place it in my studio in Otaniemi. today I have been developing and printing for many hours - but time goes by so fast when I am in the darkroom. I do not have anything special to share for now - but some prints from a roll I have taken a couple of weeks ago.
delta 3200 ilford - from my first day back in the darkroom:
✻ taken inside a toy shop.
✻ everyone enjoys HATTARA at the amusement park.
✻ a portrait that Jacopo asked me to take of him.
Tove.
today I had to check the status of the remaining paper I had from Milano - now that the old paper is all gone I can get new one and print more and more.
I am so happy me and my darkroom are back together - let's celebrate!

    i love how the tones are soft insted of the harsh black and white you often see :)
