Today is a birthday of my blog. It’s 1 year passed since I published my first post here. I’m so thankful to all of you who read my blog and support me somehow. I think you helped me not to say someday: fuck it all!
I offer to all of you who are reading this now to have a little party here. To join a party you can take a photo of yourself the way you like. If you don’t want to show your face you can shot in Magritte style or a shadow of you or anything else. I just want to feel myself today not alone here. So come on! Let’s get the party started! 😉
Here’s a shot that I made with a Fotokor-1 camera, aperture F9, shutter speed 4 seconds. I used Fomapan 100 film (9×12) and developed the sheet in Fomadon R09 for 4 minutes. Then I made a contact printing in my so-called darkroom. It’s printed on Slavich RC paper (10×15) and scanned on the same awful scanner which is known to you. Though, I’m not sure that all of it was worth it… maybe a mobile shot would be no worse? Ha-ha! Anyway, I can’t bring back the things which were done…
And here I am. A person behind a camera. And as it turned out you could see me earlier on my blog posts if you were attentive enough 😀

Great image of you and the camera, nice tones on the Slavich paper. The time fly’s by, it’s been 4 years since I started my blog !!!!! https://coronet66.wordpress.com/2017/08/04/thursday-doors-03-08-17/ link to photo of me in 2017, I’m the one on the right 😪

Thank you 🙂 4 years it’s a long time! You look funny on this photo 🙂 Hope, you won’t be offended for such words 🙂
I think there is no party without music. As you like cats (it seems), I put this record on. Freddie Mercury dedicated it to his cat 😀 Hope you like it!

I always look funny in photographs 😐 that’s why there aren’t many pictures of me. Thank you for the link.

Maybe it’s not bad to look funny. I don’t think it’s bad, do you?

It’s not really that bad, it’s because in my head I think I’m still only 30 something, then when I see a photo of myself I realise how old I am 🧑.

Would you like to feel your age?
In my opinion, it’s better to feel younger, than older!
I don’t think usually about my age, but I have one funny thing about the memory. People whom I know stay in my mind in the same age as they were at the moment we met. And when someone tell me: “Oh… I’m already… years old” I start to think: “Oh, Gosh… If he/she is already at this age, how old am I then” 🙂

Yes, better to feel younger, otherwise I don’t think I would do/try so many things, sometimes the aches and pains remind me though. 🙂

I don’t see “add an image” button. It seems to me that replies here are text-only:(

I treat people here with songs. I’m not sure this one will suit your taste, but it is the only “baking” track which came to my mind.

It’s a song for you. Don’t ask me why exactly this song. I tried to find something connected with the word “new”. And it’s song about travelling a bit 🙂 Hope, you’ll like it. Video is nice and crazy at the same time 😀
