I planned to write a “final” post here last night, but I just ran out of time. In this context, “final” refers to the fact that I am now officially internetless, netlos, nettiton, sans net. No big deal, although the withdrawal symptoms will probably set in over the weekend. I plan to read a lot. And clean a lot. Luckily I have a lot to read and clean.

Just before I got home yesterday, I collected my developed film from the photo shop. Sadly, my experiment was an almost total disaster. No pictures to show. The film exposed and I can clearly see the “frame” of the camera, but no details. It is also a little difficult to tell whether it overexposed, because there is no “baseline”. I first suspected a light leak, but now I think that my pinhole lens was too large. Hmm. Well, I’m not giving up: I’ll try again later this week.

So, instead here are “oldish” photo’s, although I guess they are quite new looking. They are from 1997/8 in Tampere. The first reflects the serene city centre:

The second photo reflect the inner turmoil in the soul of a foreign student, as expressed in the organization of his flat:

I spent many months, well years, in that flat in Satakunnankatu. Fond memories.
