Blogging Stuff Again

concerning these days of silence I have to say something. first of all I had to do a plenty of things and I my time kept running out, and it is still. so my blogging and my diary writing and all the other stuff like the moomin project froze.



but now I am on the run again.



a couple of days ago polly graduated!

and it was meravellous. her installation art was so powerful and I am proud helping her with it a bit. here is a link to her flickr stream concerning the project presented to the commission and a link to a video of the installation art. you may want to see it!



we finally bought our plane tickets to helsinki!

I really love to go there, specially with you polly, I'm sure you will love suomi.

come ti cerco ogni giorno da quando ci siamo inseguiti e trovati quella sera sotto quel cielo strano. stellato...

more beautiful things inside!

my collection of old finnish postcards is growing.

I will post some of my new treasures soon. I need only an album to keep them in safe.

probably I'll use the MUJI one which polly gave to me. it has big brown pages, A3 format. and it is good looking.



plus.

I really need to buy a leather bag. probably a messenger. or something like that. because I only have an old black cotton bag which I always use. need something prettier.


by the way we found many beautiful things today. polly got some old photos. me got a rare polaroid 1000s black with original and working falshcubes. and it looks gorgeous. I mean. it's great. it is in mint condition. as just out of box!
just perfect.

will we bring it to finland this summer polly? (:

it looks like this one in the picture but it is a true 1000s with fixed focus and red shutter button. the one in this picture is a 2000s with range focus lens, the same of the Colorpack II.



I'll post tomorrow a picture of the actual camera. the flashcubes are almost the same, mine actualy are a bit more blueish than those ones (:


beautiful weekend.

with you.

ultimamente esco molto spesso con i miei amici.

facciamo un sacco di cose interessanti. qualche giorno fa è venuto a milano luca, e siamo stati a fare due passi per ticinese. abbiamo comprato qualche libro (dei moomins. per polly.) e poi siamo andati a sederci al parco.

faceva un caldo tremendo...

abbiamo fatto un paio di foto, non ne facciamo spesso assieme, questa volta le pubblico qui ^^

from my bookshelf. is from the old past.

one of the books I loved in my childhood.

for you

vainajan muotokuva

eleanoora rosenholm.
a finnish band. another discovery. another band produced by fonal records.

their first LP "vainajan muotokuva" brings you into a forest, old pictures, dead people's stories, stars and deep thoughts. some sort of metaphysical places.

musically they differ from the other fonal bands, but still emobodies perfectly the spirit of exploration shared by these young artists. moody. and fascinating atmospheres.

and I like how they sound.

just give them a listen, you can find a couple of tracks on their myspace here.

A farewell.

Before my justified demise, brought about my own hand, I would like to write down a few words for future generations and the victims’ families in order to shed light on the reasons I had for doing what I’ve done. I don’t expect or want forgiveness, nor do I ask for it. We shall never understand why events in life turn out as they do, for they develop and deepen independently of us. We are small and fragile, alone and forgotten. How could we ever alter the will and direction of the avalanche? I believe that our fate is written in the stars, in their movements and will. The stars are great, and we are their forsaken children, deprived of warmth and understanding. The loves offered us are lust and power games, machinations of desire and reflections of our own selfishness. Life is a cold punishment for our other lives; we are the serpents of literature, forever eating our own tails. We deserve the loneliness and misery that is ours. Do not attempt to fathom why and what I’ve done, for much like a leaf that falls from a tree and a river that overflows its banks, a human life is the life of a butterfly flying against the storm. I am not proud of what I’ve done, but I loved so much that it pained my chest and broke my heart time and time again. And there is not one amongst the tiny and small who can bear this endlessly without losing her heart and love in the cold, dark eye of the mire.



May the cursing of my name offer consolation to those whom my deeds have left with none, only hatred and bitterness. I have my cross to bear, and I sincerely wish the mourners a ray of light into their sorrow.

discoveries and lite rain

~discoverying lau nau

looking through the various panorama of finnish music, we can't find much interesting stuff. most of the bands are too mainstream to be considered interesting, and the rest of it plays metal. a couple of days ago, I remembered some really interesting artists: they're all part of a small indipendent record label, called 'fonal records'. they're experimental musicians. artists.
among them, there is Lau Nau. her last LP, "Nukkuu" (it means 'sleeps').


~these are the best months of my entire life.
