My bike is not retro is VINTAGE.

We all forgot vintage bicycles from early 1920s. They were really great,
because bikes were not formed like these days. Today I will mention two
important bicycles: Velociped and Schwinn.



1. Velocipede


A velocipede was a term for any two, three or four-wheeled vehicle that was human-powered. These bikes were really big. First wheel was much bigger then second one. These bicycles were made from iron or wood. You had to drive very carefully, because if you fell down it was not really comfortable. But even today people are driving Velocipedes, because this bicycles are quite
unique and because they want something special. Price for this bike is high from 0-10000 euros.

2. Schwinn bikes

 Schwinn bikes are important piece of American history. Schwinn company had
made bicycles for kids and adults. Schwinn were the most popular bicycle in
the United States from the early 1930s through the 1950s. These bikes were
seen as luxury products intended largely for sport or recreation. They even
made bicyle with radio in bicyle large top tube.






These bicyles are live even today. They are important part for youth and
subculture of hipsters. They are modern and very elegant for cycling at the
town. With these bikes you will stand out of average of modern bikes. It's
interesting that they are on sale with very high prices, which
shows that they are constructed for higher and middle class.



I love days like this.

My camera has a soul?

Why do we need to speak about unneccessary things?
 
On that picture you can see Diana mini camera. That camera is so awesome because you can take Retro square format and Half-Frame format (72 on 35mm) pictures. It can fit in your pocket and can easily travel with you on your photo adventures.

Her older and bigger sister is Diana F+. It is very similar
to her mini sister. This is not just a camera because this camera has soul and heart. With Diana cameras you can take amazing pictures with flash or not. This small miracles are from Lomography

Lomography is one of the bigest companies for vintage cameras. But this cameras are not vintage they are RETRO. You can take really nice pictures with a lot of different 35mm films and it looks that pictures are from 60´s. But the price is quite high for plastic camera? Price is 90 euros.










Lomography cameras are very popular in these days, because vintage is comming back and everybody are looking for Retro cameras. Buy it you will not regret!


Hipsters buy it before it became mainstream!

Do not smoke if your friend is polar bear

At first i want to say hello to all my Earth friends. I am 16 years old and i am from Europe. I love ART, animals and vintage stuffs. I will write about a lot of different things, because we are all special. We can not judge others How do they look? because we have only one life and we must enjoy.
I love Greenpeace because it is the only lawyer who fights for animals and humans rights. They colect sings for Save the arctic project and you can help with your sing on this link: http://www.savethearctic.org/?id. Arctic is melting and that is a very big problem for animals and humans. Support Greenpeace!

Winter. You will miss it when it is gone.
Now i can tell you about my music. I really love music which is vintage or half vintage. My favourite musicians are Frank Sinatra, Edith Piaf, The Mills Brothers and The andrew Sisters. From these days my favourite music groups are Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, James Vincent McMorrow and TheBaseballs. This groups are not famous already because they are not mainstream like Lady Gaga and Adele. I fellt something special when i listened these groups. Edward Sharpe and The magnetic zeros is very hipster group with a touch of antique music. I hope you enjoy in this music.
