the prints from Miia's negatives:
✻ as the negatives are really big I have made a contact print of each of them - then I have printed a cropped version: my enlarger's frame was too small for them.
✻ all of the three negatives were quite easy to print: the photographer had done a really good job taking them in bright day light.

✻ I adore the amount of pets in the photographs - I bet that is the reason why Miia has chosen to send me those negatives: she knows me well.
♥ thank you so much Miia for your wonderful surprise! I will soon mail her back the negatives and I will also include the prints for her to keep.

ReplyDeleteThese old negatives just give me such a sense of nostalgia! they're so so lovely :) i really like collecting old photographs and just looking at the person wondering what life they lead. it's very fascinating.
ReplyDeleteit is very fascinating indeed! :-) photographs used to be something so special back then!
ReplyDeletehm really cool, you can discover the past again!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go also to the dark room with some old negatives.
A couple of weeks ago I read something about a man who said 'You die 2 times, first when you die and the second time when nobody recognize you anymore'
It let me always think about that, when I see old pictures... I love nostalgic
(I hope you understand everything..)
xx LA.
it is quite a strong sentence.
ReplyDeleteand I do understand what you mean about the nostalgic feeling generated by old photographs!
i'm glad i found your blog :)
ReplyDeletei think it's a nice idea to share and develop old photographs. i should ask my grandmother for some!
and these are all so wonderful. there's something about old pictures that i just can't help but love. digital has made us change the way we think and feel about photography or even why we decide to take a picture. i guess that's what i mostly like about film. by taking a film picture, and as henri cartier-bresson said, you're kind of saying that's something valuable, something you want or need to remember, to keep with you.

thank you, Natalia!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you - and with cartier-bresson ;-)
This collection is just too beautiful for words!!! :O
ReplyDeleteisn't it? my friend Miia is very lucky to have found them!
