Dear legions, It is Monday - and we hope you've had a good start of your week so far!We had an interesting weekend, and we will share more good news with you shortly. Keep your eyes open for a possible extra hang out that most likely will be open for everyone where we will give you an update that can't wait for later in July and the next hang out.Until then, we'd like to share some cool old school behind-the-scenes photos from the festival we played in Germany in May; Rock In Rautheim.Why I would like to share them here is because this is the round of old film roll I tried in another old analog camera I got as a gift from Nellan01, one of our dear patrons and supporters. Thank you Nellan once again for gifting me this one that had been beautifully stored somewhere in your home. The condition of the camera was PERFECT to be honest, I just popped in a new battery and a new filmroll and hoped there would be photos on the film at the end of the month. There were - all photos got captured perfectly and the other day I picked up the finished results. As always, it's way cooler in real life on actual photos but I do love the digital versions as well. I will see if I can figure out a way to remove the dates on them though.. it's wrong settings anyway with 22 years, haha!Previous BTS post from this festival can be found HERE! But, let's go to late 90's /early 00's vibe and see how our adventure looked like through that kind of lens:
Rikard fixed some last things by his station before we left. I sneaked up, but didn't leave unnoticed because of the flash. And as mentioned, this was not November 2004, it was May 2026 - let's see if I can fix that, haha.
Airport hangout! I do highly recommend to go and check out the first BTS post from this trip because Kevin's sausage photos has to be experienced.
Some proper waiting time at the airport but great moment to try out the camera as well. Ah, the nostalgic vibe in these ones. I do love the clarity in the photos from this camera, it's more clear and sharp and has a different vibe from the previous one I tried (AF-1), and I love both styles equally!
We waited outside the hotel for the shuttle to the festival itself! The legend hanging out on the last photo is our Elvis, our sound engineer. We love this man so much, I am forever grateful we met on the tour with Pain.
The backstage!
The way home! I will continue to bring an old camera with filmroll with me on tours and shows! Do you enjoy to see these kinds of photos as well? Rikards and my interest in photographing stretches way back and we love to be able to experiment but also embrace this nostalgic vibe that really captures the moments with no re-try! 🤓We wish you a great week dear legion! With love, Madeleine
