MAGIC MADNESS

Its taken me a WHOLE week to recover from last weekend madness. what a weekend, i have to stay Saturday the 1st into the Sunday the 2nd of august was MAGICAL.

trip into the beyond full of colours and thoughts.
moments of pleasure combined with magical lights of randomness...
fires and trees together with love.

a wood shack was build to become shelter of mind thoughts.
moments of fear turned into jamming sessions of vocal chords.
barefooted in the bushland of the wilderness of our imagination.
Sinking in quick sand while walking in the endless dunes of the desert.
Tea and red wine became my best friends through the journey of the night.
psychedelic colours and emotions twirled all around.

morning sunrise watching the east sun rays of daylight delights.
water reflections and birds contemplations become a symphony of beautiful sounds.
strawberries for breakfast while watching the animals soak morning light.
MAGIC MADNESS

MADNESS i tell you, sums up my night pretty well.

now a week to the day has passed i still feel my thoughts taking me back. i couldn't capture anything on film, the moment was madness,I'm glad i didn't take my camera with me.

So yes not much to comment on.
The sun is out today, finally its made its presence after a mighty delay, hiding under storm, rain and wind clouds for a while....
TIME TO PLAY...
till next time
Ana Banana.
her b/w film ready loaded into her camera. its time for some nice tones...

Wild Eyes

its been a while now, since ive taken a photograph, since ive written anything down, ive been hiding like a hermit crap lol. but its time to come out of the shell and get those fingers clicking clicking and my feet happy happy, i have happy feet right now, happy feet,they move all around, they cant stay still on the ground...

so i have finally made many decisions, now i just need to execute them and accomplish my goals. i cant wait, its going to be an interesting chapter of my life, but to be honest i am actually looking forward to it...

i am though a little broke, oh dear, dear dear, so ive got like 3 films waiting to be developed but no money to develop them, if they where black and whites i could do them my self, but they are not, ive been into colour alot lately. i should get back into black and white, actually i should just get into clicking the camera away and away, all my cameras in fact are in hibernation hahaha.(it is winter after all down here down under).

so that's about it.. i am feeling much better than i was before, still lost but finally with some kind of purpose.

till next time
enjoy

Blindsided

i am so lost
i have no idea what i want in life, i am living day by day, even wasting some days away. now i don’t know what i will do, leave, stay., i really have no clue, there is no one who can help me but me, and me is not doing to well,? i am depressed but i am happy, its like dire straits you know. uncertainty of thing and of things that will happen, i see everyone has a plan and i don’t have plans, its like i am wasting my time away but i don’t mind, i really wish i was a fish or some kind of bird, so i can swim or fly away into the unknown every single day.. my thoughts are all over the place, confusing and just lost. its deliciously complicated. its wanting what i have but not wanting what i have, its a confusing sensation that i feel every single moment of the day, every single second of my existence. And why? There is no answer, which means there shouldn’t even be a question. i am writing you because i feel in some way you understand me.... do u???
i hope your doing well. i am but i am lost, lost and in not the kind of way i like to be lost.

Dont FIght It

Today is the day
I am done with all this bullshit. its been going on for long enough.
I will make a decision and stick to it. i am tired of it all. i am DONE. today i am done. I WONT FIGHT IT ANY LONGER.
i have very hard weeks ahead of me and its good to know that there are people out there who mean so much to me that will help me get through it all.
Dont get me wrong this is a positive note, not a sad one. its about courage and strength, ability to put my foot down and say "no more", i feel fantastic, very scared and tired and fed but, but fantastic at the same time. really.
Now its time to for change, now its time for movement, now is time to express my self to my full potential. i WONT FIGHT IT ANY LONGER.

These images are from tasmania, found more and i was happy with them.
so enjoy and enjoy the song, which is: Don't fight it, by The Panics.

Thats about it
Love always
ANA BANANA

Friday I'm In love

Its Friday,
i like Fridays, its the beginning of the weekend,
i like weekends, they make me happy and i like to be happy.
happy is good,
happy is wonderful.

Yesterday i went with my very beautiful friend blossom awesome,(real name Kate) to see the exhibition of Salvador Dali. Its the 2nd time ive gone to it and i was even more amazed. i really would like to pick his brain, or life in his paints, jump of rocks, melting clocks, see through his eyes and slide down his quirky mustache.
The SUN finally made its presence yesterday here in Melbourne, It was much appreciated. A beautiful Sunny Winters day. it was great. we walked around, brought things that needed to be brought, ate some very beautiful PHO, baked some cookies and ate some ice cream, oh great day.
I Also developed some rolls of film, a test roll of my Coloursplash came, one i took during the day and a surprise one i found laying around, it turns our that the surprise roll of film was from my trip to Tasmania in April, and my oh my wonderful images where discovered. The more i think about Tasmania the more i fall in love with it.

Ill leave u with some images from yesterday,
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND EVERYONE.

If we want it - it's right

I have had a very random weekend, its been good and i have enjoyed my time.

I ordered a Coloursplash camera of lomography last week and today i get a msg on the door that they tried to deliver it and no one was home, so i called them and it should be redelivered tomorrow yeah...cant wait to play with it...

I hope everyone is doing welll
Song of the day is by Thomas Dybdahl- If we want it- It's right.
I choose this song for 3 reasons, One: reminds me of my friend linn
two: it takes me back to my years at university, being in the darkroom, developing black and white photographs and smelling all the chemicals. i played his songs on and on every time i was in the darkroom, for some reason they helped me concentrate and work well.
and three: I love his VOICE and this SONG

Once I Was...

The weekend was great. its Sunday night now, and i await next week with anticipation, i will do random things, i will see new things, i will learn new things and i will soul search and hopefully find an answer to one of the never ending questions that run through my head endlessly without stop...

i recently developed 15 tolls of film, of all kinds of film, some i had even forgotten and i was glad to see the results. i have also have like 10 more to develop and at least another 10 that are "misplaced" somewhere around my room. i don't really know where they are but hopefully they crawl out of their hiding places and into my eye and i can finally develop them..

I as i have said before, love taking shots of feet. Why because i feel i have the biggest connection to them, i like to show where i am, what's underneath me etc.. so here is a little collection from the latest rolls of film.

Gathering, they didn't even notice.

Mine and my favorite hat.

Again, they didn't even notice.

In the hammock.

Shadows i also love shadows.
Shadows

Shadows

Strange Patterns and colours i love too.
strange dimensions

Tree Branches

Dark Corners

Thats it for now, i hope you have enjoyed this very simple post.
I look forward to this new week. the end of June, the best month.hahaha.
I miss a certain someone right now so much.
love
Ana Banana.
I will leave you with a song like always, a song that i love and that brings a lot of memories back. Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley's father in case u guys are wondering if there is any relationship with the name there. Tim Buckley-Once I was.
