'Last Summer'

Well, It's now been a good couple of weeks since i last posted after claiming I was going to be a blogging god. The plan was to do this post with new photos but unfortunately it's impossible to find a laboratory in Barcelona that'll develop and scan a black & white film for under 20 euros. This means i'll be buying some chemicals and developing at home again very soon, which I'm excited about. 

So it's almost the end of winter. Friends are claiming just weeks to go until the sunshine, beers on the beach after work & no long nights in bed attempting to keep warm/sane. This sounds a bit dramatic, obviously a winter in Spain still isn't as cold as most experience but after the extortionate heat of the summer months, it hits you pretty hard.

I was looking through some photos from the summer to keep me going when i thought how much fun it was and that i should post some photos. Some of the highlights included shindigs such as Picnik Electronika. A mountainside, outdoor party which happens every Sunday in the summer. Everyone 'lets loose' and it's alot of fun.

Moving on. Another fun event was our Scottish friends visiting. Naturally the Scots are up for anything and 'a quiet beer on the beach' turned into getting braids and head shaves. I was honoured to carry out the shaving part after my african counterpart undertook the braiding (Thankyou Yolanda, see you soon).

My good friend Conrad visited for a couple of days in July and we had muy divertido. 

There isn't many things in this world more fun that pushing through Passeig de Gracia tunnel late at night on a skateboard.

This posts parting message is one of the most inspirational photographers that lived, Robert Capa. As one of the founders of the world renowned Magnum Photos, this man pioneered not only war-time photography but photo-journalism as we know it. & He did it all with this face;

True turn up king.

Until the next time my friends, hopefully with self-developed photos and more sunshine.

Adios.
