a portrait of me and my brother, a goodbye and some news.

i'm not sure whether i've posted this photograph here or not but anyway. an accidental multiple exposure of me and my brother last summer.
it's been almost 7weeks since i updated this blog. life invited me to live my days to the fullest so i grabbed the opportunity and did so.
lot's of stuff's been going on lately. been running to meetings regarding the local film festival who'll take place in january next year, my love and i are members of the group who decides wich movies where about to show.
also, tomorrow is my first day teaching photography at the local course center. i'll be doing that every thuesday evening from now. and today pottery course starts. my love and i attended past weekend a "how to write your own manuscript"-course.
i have heaps and heaps of negatives which i'll be able to scan next friday, i'm so looking forward to see the results of the pictures properly. i'm super eager to publish them aswell. this blog's been extremely dull, in my opinion, this summer and it needs a fresh start with loads of new photographs!
i've edited the exhibition shortfilm but i haven't uploaded it yet, don't know why. there's just been to much stuff going on. i promise i'll upload it during this month.

my best friend left finland yesterday. we've known each other since day one and even before that when we where in our mama's bellies (our mama's are good friends). we've been through a lot together and when i moved to helsinki, she stayed in our hometown, and when i went to australia, she still stayed in ekenäs. she's always been one of my most important corner stones in my life, whenever i need and needed her she was there, always. now she and her love is on their way to san francisco for nine months, they're about to study english. i saw her last time on saturday evening, she gave me a call and told me that she'll come over in a few minutes and then hung up. i put my shoes on and went out and even before i saw her i started crying. when she showed up we hugged each other like never before and we both cried. our tears was mixed up in each other and both our hairs where full of the tears we let out. when she left i went inside, i sat down in my loves lap and i hugged him and cried quietly for a while, bon iver was singing through the speaker on my computer.

i know that i'll see her sooner than i think but still, the feeling i felt the last time i saw her before she left was so profound. i think it has to do that we've been a part of each other for such a long time, 21 years and 6 months.

hoppas ert äventyr blir ett att minnas för livet, du är det finaste och älskar dig så himla mycket!
a friend and i've decided to make a zine/book each upcoming winter who'll, hopefully, be launched next spring. since i don't really have any photographs and enough of them to put together an exhibition i thought that a book or a zine would be a brilliant idea to do instead. the book would contain my favorite photographs from between 2008 and 2013, both kino-, middle- and bigformat photographs. it would also contain some photographs from my latest exhibition.
what do you peeps think, would you be interested in purchasing a mini-book i've published?
