Went to Sweden at the end of July and beginning of August (for almost 2 weeks) to see my family and have a bit of a holiday. It was roasting most of the time I was there, but one of the weekends there was torrential downpour. However, 2 hours later this was the only sign of any rain on the decking in my parents' back garden.
So I've realised I'm 17(!) weeks behind on posting photos for my Fifty-Two Weeks project. Worked some crazy hours this summer, and with going to Sweden to see my family at the end of July and going to New York at the end of August, the blog post ended up on the back burner a bit (or rather a lot).
To be honest, the weeks just seem to be flying by at the moment, and I can't believe it's getting to mid November already. In five weeks I'll be in Sweden for christmas which seems crazy.
My aim is to post a few photos a day to catch up, and we'll see how that goes.
Some of my first polaroids developed using the Instantlab from the Impossible Project.The Impossible Project manufacture film for Polaroid cameras, and as a kickstarter project they have also done the Instantlab which will allow you to develop polaroids (on actual film, not just printing) from your iPhone. I bought mine a few months back, and I love it :)
From the top, left to right, we have: My parents' house, London from the Shard, lavender from my parents' garden, Church Drive in Carrington, the Apple store in Covent Garden, one of my pairs of shoes, London from the Shard, and Brunkebergstunneln in Stockholm.
Came home from late shift the other week, and it was foggy and cold. The photo below was taken in the alleyway outside my flat that evening.
There were some photos which were strong contenders when choosing the photo for week 3 of the fifty-two weeks project. Below are a few of them. The side street next to one of the larger shopping centres in Stockholm city centre. Regeringsgatan, around the corner from Gallerian.
One of the things I love about Stockholm is that it's on the water. This is the view from Strömbron.
Sunset from Riksbron.
This was the week when I was in Sweden, and there were some good photos to choose from (even though I only went in to Stockholm with my camera one day). I will post some of the other photos which only just lost out to the one below at a later stage.The photo which I picked just reminds me of home I suppose. Love these lights my parents have hanging over the back door in the kitchen. I would steal them and take them with me home, but don't think that would go down too well with mum ;)
