Childhood Summer
Ari Jaaksi, Finland
Childhood Summer
DESCRIPTION
We often remember at our childhood through old photos, where colors are faded and pictures are soft. But those characteristics are not flaws. That's how we remember those times: innocent, simple and beautiful.
.
I create such feelings on purpose. For that I use an old Graflex RB Series B 4x5 sheet film camera. I don't attach the lens to the camera but hold it in my hand and tilt it ever so slightly. Free-lensing. As a film, I use old expired colour positive film that I cross develop to a colour negative. I love the colors I'm getting. These techniques put the childhood summers back to my new pictures. Like echoes from better times!
