last weekend, in photos...

{my film shots from last weekend}

a few shots from the state fair... two of my favorite things about the fair: 

carousels and lemonade. :)

& then... a pretty sunday drive & a church picnic... so relaxing.

 last weekend was a lot of fun!

thank you Jesus for all of these blessings.

{all photos were taken by me, with my vintage 35mm camera, canon ae-1}

downtown {in film}

last weekend, i went downtown with my mom & sister!
i felt like shooting film, so i loaded my camera & took a walk...
& here is some of what i saw:

*i think, this one is my favorite... my sister said it reminded her of

the grest gatsby! :)

i have another roll that i am ready to shoot now! maybe this weekend!

:)

it was such a busy busy week for me, so this saturday feels even better than they usually do!!

hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

disposable camera.

the film shots from my birthday weekend didn't really turn out... it was a *disposable camera* that my sister needed for school and than gave to me when she was done. it was maybe the second time i have ever used a disposable camera... probably the last. :) but oh well, still fun. here are some of the shots that turned out okay...

me and my doggie, becky :)

my birthday tulips!

me & my mini birthday cheesecakes! more about those in this post.

Full House, my favorite tv show of all time!! (i cried during the series finale... i think i was 12 years old then... haha!) anyway, i got season 5 on dvd for my birthday, & me and my sister watched it all weekend! :)

me & my brother, being silly...

me & my grandma!

spring trees & more! on film.

a few weeks ago i tried to shoot film for the first time in a while and unfortunately i didn't load the camera quite right, so the film didn't get pulled through like it was supposed to. i am still a bit confused on what happen, but because it's an old camera i thought i was taking photos, when i wasn't. anyway, i had to start over. i got a little bit of help and the second time around it turned out much better! :) obviously i am not a pro at shooting film. but i like the way the photos turned out & i am just doing this for fun anyway!!

weekend: film

i am so excited! the weather is supossed to be so nice this weekend! & i have been wanting to get some good film shots lately... i am not the best with film, but i am excited to put a roll in this camera and go to some of my favorite areas downtown & see what happens! :)

btw- this print is for sale in my etsy shop!

here is something so exciting about film, that you don't get with digital. there is a mystery to each picture and you have to be more patient! i love that. obviously i can't afford to shoot with film all the time, but that makes it even more fun when i do!

here are some beautiful film shots that inspire me:
