Day 1: Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits.

It's not a game and it's not some kind of challenge but next 26 days I will post a phrase of a "poem" that consist of 26 lines that all are in alphabetical order. I had to learn the poem in school and since then some of the quotes pop in my head every now and then. They're simple and positive. Maybe someone else finds them motivational as well!

My goal is to bring you the photos of the year 2014 as I haven't been updating the blog for a long time. Want to get back on track with blogging as it helps me to keep my photos organised. My personal photo bank has grown enormously and having "stress" with blog is kinda forcing me to invest more time in editing. The reason why I stopped writing an year ago, was because I got too picky with my work and photos I showed in blog. Perfection is kinda of like a disease and in the end trying to be perfect makes you simply dissatisfied. Well, that's what I experienced. 

Lastly, the name or the address of this blog is going to change in a month as it's not fitting with the concept I want to have in future. I will reveal the new name in a few weeks.

Thanks!

"Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits."

The place where people in the mountains escape.

The place where the sun is warmer, snow is softer and people are happier.

The place where the passions meet.

Analog Snaps

This summer I got my very first analog photo camera. It was seriously the highlight of the summer. So happy about it! Shooting film is a really cool process - takes time but is worth it. Somehow made me realise how fast is our life nowadays. For sure has taught me to be more patient and more spontaneous. No need to take 10 shots of the same angle; just shoot one good one and get a new spot.

In this post are images from three 35mm film rolls. Just some friends, special moments and landscape shots. Hopefully it also motivates someone else to get an oldschool camera! And special thanks to everyone who allowed me to take the shots.

 In case there will be no new blog posts here, check my webpage. Made a new selection there for Analog photos. mariellvikkisk.com .

Update

This blog has been really quiet for a long time. I have been shooting a lot of photos though! I think every artist has a period in their lives where they need a time to work alone to grow and explore.

My equipment list has grown as well. I shoot film now. With a beautiful Canon camera. Results will be available to see as soon as my film-scanner arrives.

Until then, I'd like to invite you to take a look at my images at www.mariellvikkisk.com:
