Photography film








This weekend Henrik and I have been shooting a new film. It is something different for me, a film made up of photographs. I have been recording sound with strangers on the streets of Malmö and Ystad in Sweden. I really love taking photos! It is great how many people want to stop and talk, if you take the first step to make it happen. It suprised us, but I wish it didn't. People should talk more. No wonder there is so much misunderstanding in the world. People should talk/listen more. I miss John Anderson and the way he talks to strangers so much. The language thing here makes it a little bit harder but Henrik helps a lot, obviously!







What do you think of these images? I am excited about this film. The answers to my questions are honest, colourful and insightful and the images are too, I reckon anyhow! Ha! A fine review, by its own director, before it is even finished! he he he. I have nerve!

Oh! I bought a new dress today at a fleamarket. The man who sold it to me looked about 100 years old and he was VERY cute. The tag says "Made in Sweden" and he read it out loud when I put it on the counter. I pointed at myself and said "Made in Australia". He laughed. "Thank you, you are welcome and come again!" SOOOO cute. I should have snapped him.


These are the cute streets of Ystad.
I just played 6 Take That songs in a row and Henrik did't even flinch, let alone tell me to turn it off, now that is love. I am clearly among friends here (halllo are you out there? I know Kimmy is) so I can admit that I also played a Guy Sebastian song, a lot of Hampdens and Bob Marley. Perhaps there is something in the water here. I often wake up with Sunset Vines in my head too, listen to it, gorgeous. I can't wait to see J Hawk and the Rumours play when I get home. "Make you want to move, your dancing feet. To the rescue here I am, want you to know y'all where I stand... Here I am!" ha ha ha.
