For a while in Barcelona, when my digital camera was smashed and I was too broke to develop film, I took a photo a day on the cheapest slide film I could find, Prixcolor.
I wrote down what every days photo was in a tiny handmade book I bought from a man who sold them in the bar Zarabanda beneath our flat.
Some days I was happy, some days I was bored, some days I was drunk, some days I was hungry and our fridge had only cheese and beer. Some days I was silly, some days I was angry. A lot of days I was blurry.
Today I found the roll, and got it developed.
Today is also my grans birthday, she would have been 90 I think. I had such a lovely day, bopping round town, listening to music, buying flour and chillis, drinking a pint on my own in Grogans, waiting for photos to be printed. Now I am really late making dinner for my mum and dad but I wanted to put up these photos cos I had such a super day today. Happy birthday gran. xxx

dude, they are so awesome!
Hey, your photographs are amazing! Can I ask how you manage to get your shots to be so vivid in colour? I also have a lomo camera (a Holga) and I use slide film and x-process it to have the 'crazy lomo' effect but it mostly turns out vivid but grainy...
Do you by any chance know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
