Stairs to nowhere? Mamiya M645 1000s

My Mamiya M645 1000s

I am so happy about my Mamiya! I have loaded it with a second roll of Portra 400 and I´m ready to hunt new motives.

I really like my new 80mm f/1.9 lens! This is shot @ f/2.8 I think because that twig wasn´t still so a handheld shot at f1.9 was too difficult. This was the last frame in my first roll in´my new Mamiya  so I had to get a little focus right..

Mamiya M645 - A long way...

Moving forward, slowly.. to better days to come.
I have heard a lot of different opinions about the Mamiya Sekor C 45mm but in my world it looks great but I have not tried it enought to praise it too much..

Single - mamiya M645 1000s

Yes, I am single again, after over 13 years in a relationship with a woman that I also share two children with. I can´t say I am happy about it, I have been very sad these last three weeks, she sees me more like a friend and have lost her feelings for me and I who thought things where ok..

I made this self portrait on the first week because I wanted to express my feelings about being single. I´m alone, I´m cold and yet, I am free to do what I want..

Can´t say I´m looking forward to this new life and the forthcoming weeks/months but I guess things will get better and I guess there will be a day when I can feel happy again!
I love my children and that makes my days a little less difficult to live..


BTW.. looks like my new Mamiya works as it should, this is from the first "test-roll."

I´d like a Hasselblad 500CM again..someday

I had a great looking black Hasselblad 500CM but I never liked the lens I had for it. I had the Carl Zeiss Planar T* 100/3.5, a great lens I believe for studio and product shooting, really sharp at 1m distance but it was not a good allround lens. I should have tried to get the standard 80mm but I sold the camera and bought a Contax RTS II instead. I was also always scared to scratch my Hassy or something, it was in almost new condition, made in 1991. I would like to try a Hassy again someday, I really love the feel and the sound. Right now I will put my focus on my two new cameras, Pentax MX and Mamiya M645.

Here are a picture taken with that camera:

Miss you... - Yashica D

It´s about a year ago now that we decided not to keep him. He had been raised with a family of addicts and not been taken care of as he should have. We tried but he was too insecure and afraid of everything. I will always miss him, my dog Loke..
