I haven't been on Flickr for a while. But today I am back, as it starts 'Roid Week 2012. 'Roid week is biannual Flickr week-long celebration of instant film. It's nice to be back and meet with friends I haven't seen in so long.
I took the photo above for 'Roid week Day 1. Alice shot with my Polaroid Spectra camera and Impossible Project PZ680 film.
You can follow my 'Roid Week uploads here, and the ever so inspiring group pool here.

Happy weekend my dear friends.

We just came back from a short vacation in the Uruguayan countryside. Two weeks surrounded by green hills, winding country roads, breathtaking views, no internet connection- just what we needed. I came back fully inspired and with material and ideas for new photo series and video projects. I am scanning now the Polas, IP and 35mm photos I took, here are the first two:

On another note, yesterday a selection of my fashion work was featured in the special issue of Prism Magazine dedicated to Instant photography,alongside very talented photographers from around the world. The magazine is available to view at: www.PrismPhotoMagazine or on www.facebook.com/prismphotomagazine. Thank you Karol Liver for inviting me to be part of it!

Time flies and I have to say 2011 went by really fast. As I look back at the past months I feel very blessed. I started the year with a short video, third instalment of the Lovearoid saga, an ongoing collaboration with Agustin Ferrando, my boyfriend.

From then onwards we happily worked together, non stop, every day of the year. Confucius quote: Choose a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life, can't be more true for us. Work commissions, personal projects. Being able to work together - no matter how hard - sharing our passions, making videos and photography, has definitely been the highlight of my year.

Along the way I took some of my most favorite photos, had the opportunity to see them published in magazines I heart, blogged at sites I follow, sold at amazing art fairs, illustrating precious books. I judged a film festival, collaborated with the most talented friends, visited dream places, spent time with my favorite people in the world.

I feel very lucky and look forward to what the New Year will bring!

Wishing you all a fantastic 2012! ☆
