Biking to Cambridge with Marko and Samir+unexpected photoshoot
Yesterday I went biking with Marko and Samir. We decided to do a long ride and go all the way down to Cambridge, from where to bus back in the evening. Our first point of attraction was the "Haunted cottage" or also known as "The secret pirate hideout", a beautiful tiny cottage on the Grand River hillside, not officially used by anyone, other than the occasional youngsters who go there to drink, use drugs and perform pagan rituals, as the evidence littered around and spray-painted on the walls and floor lets us guess.
Our second goal was to find a place to eat, but what we didn't anticipate was meeting two of Marko's friends on the side of the trail, taking snapshots of each other by the river. The two were Shannon and ...Shannon. Being armed with cameras, myself, Marko and Samir, couldn't help but assist them by shooting diverse angles and then later intending to post the images on facebook for them to see. Then as we shot all those photos Samir remembered that he intended to ask me for some facebook id-photos himself, so I shot some.
Then, more or less against his will, I got a few of Marko, proud owner of a Holga film camera (if you don't know what a Holga is click here).
I don't think either of us expected to shoot so many photos that day.
Alright, I'm done talking, here's the footage! Enjoy!
Heres a song that totally goes well with the picture below. Ever played Uncharted-Drake's fortune? If the answer to this is no, then do it, do it NOW! it's the best game ever made!
Samir (in the foreground) and Marko (in the background) - walking on the tree laid in the swamp, in order to reach the secret pirate hideout - ghost haunted cottage! (I later noticed the tree is really only useful in autumn or during rainy days because there was no swamp there now, only very very very dry earth)

Marko enjoying Shannon's expression of friendship towards him...
Best friends forever
No two Shannons pose the same way twice... eermm I mean, each Shannon poses differently
Ladies, if you'd like prints, make sure to ask me: stefan.chirila@gmail.com
Marko showing us his Holga with pride. I wonder... is there a film-photography pride parade?
Samir sat on the wall, Samir didn't fall...
Great expression Samir!

Great images Stefan. We should go here. That house looks cool for some pics! Real nice bw of Marko wit the Holga, I bet he won't approve 'cause it's not a film bw, though. He doesn`t count though. Sorry if you read this Marko! ;)
