In the meantime, everything is going to be out of my expectation.

Finally, I got this photo today. Once I took photos with my Lubitel 2 which I bought in Protobello Market in London. I bought this camera because I really wanted to buy something British before I came back.
Although this camera is made in Russia, it is true that I bargain with someone in the second hand antique market, the typical life in UK. I didn't know how to use this camera untill the seller taught me the basic way to use it. Then, I just tried to take something in the last few days before I left.

I'm not addicted to classical music but I like Chopin, especially his nocturne. Just now, I'm listening to nocturne which Eli gave me before in this gray typhoon free. Many things mixed strange feelings come out from my mind when I'm listening. The wonderful music and weather carry me back to London suddenly. I thought that his music fit the weather in London and some back streets of this gloomy city when I was there passing through Kensinton area.
Here is an original pinhole photo which I took around Kensinton Square in a sunny day, but is looks like somewhere under heavy mist as people said about London. I like this photo cause I was blue before.


p.s. / A nocturne (from the French for "nocturnal") is usually a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night. /

This is my first work of this unknown project. I completely don’t know how to start except for making something by needlework.
Once I just pick something flat and start to pierce holes and stitch with tread. I use several pieces of photos and try to create something on them. I transfer the image of one photo into pattern and overlap it on another one. Then, I pierce holes along the pattern and stitch with tread to create a new artwork.

This black and white photo had been taken by a pinhole camera made by me and developed when I was in London doing one of my projects. The pattern is from another photo taken in UK as well. Both of them have different stories in my mind. Now, I overlap two stories together to connect these memories by needlework artistry.
