made on the line

Film 3 on Flickr.

The best of the best from my last film of 120 from my Diana F+. 4/16… not good odds really. The rest… they were awful. I’m thinking of ways to reuse them.

I remember how much fun this camera is. I think I’ll buy some colour film online and take photos of the Tulip Festival. I’ll feel like I’m in the Netherlands in the 1970s. A little strange to talk about such bright colours with the black and white story above. We’re well and truely into Spring and everyone is happy and everything is colourful. it’s just beautiful. Living in North America has really made me appreciate each season. Can’t wait to show you the contrast to the above image.

Touching interviews with centenarians, about their look on their long lives:
(clockwise)

1. Alice Herz-Sommer, 108
   I survived the concentration camps, and this is something extraordinary. Thousands and millions that had to die, and we are sitting here. When we are old, we are aware of the beauty of life. Young people take everything for granted. It all depends on the character you’re born with.
   Everything I forget. Even if I write it down, I forget to look. I had an excellent memory and now, I’m an idiot! [Laughs] What do I do against it? I learn Bach by heart and play the piano. My son died aged 64. He was a gifted musician, and a wonderful son. My only child.
2. Nellie Wright, 103
   I don’t get by, I exist from one day to the other. I’m hoping for the end to come. I’m tired of it. Why should it be like this? Not a penny in my purse! I’ve worked 74 years.
   Why am I here? I’m waiting for God to straighten this out. I should be home! My husband died while I was in here. I never even got to his funeral. It doesn’t matter. I’ve been a decent girl, never drunk or gone with men. I’ve just lived and worked like a silly fool.
3. Helen Turner, 101
   I’m going to live to 120! I had a party and champagne at 100. Actually, I can’t remember much of it, as I’d had a lot to drink.
   I was engaged once, but I never met… well, I knew what I was looking for and I found it, but too late. He’s a professor. Of course he’s married. And I can’t imagine he’s the sort of person to go off the rails. Not that I wouldn’t want him to. I’m not saying I’m that good!
4. Nora Hardwick, 105
   It’s in the genes, I suppose. My mother was 94 and my eldest sister was 96. Granny was 97. I’ve kept my brain active. I read and do crosswords. And I have a little shot of whisky at bedtime. I think that helps.
   If it wasn’t for my daughters, I’d have to have somebody in every day, but, you see, Maureen has showered me today and Jan’s washed my hair. They keep me clean, that’s the main thing. I’ve treated myself to a little scooter that I can get out on, in the fresh air. I don’t like sitting all day. I take every day as it comes. Each one is a bonus.

Beautiful and yet heart wrenching stories. I miss my Granny.

Excellent design.. Cars is the only Pixar movie I haven’t seen. Not sure why, just no real interest. Love the poster though!
