Cross Estate Gardens

Photos from a nice spontaneous evening out, somewhere lovely, not too far from home, and totally doable after a full day at work. It’s such a nice thing, to be able to take advantage of the long days of summer from time to time. With so much daylight available at this time of year, a work day doesn’t have to be *just* a work day. It’s almost like you can fit two days into one. What a terrific bonus!

Moody Film Vibes

Apologies in advance, if you’re here for the handmade stuff. Right now I am in one-track, broken-record, totally obsessed film photography mode. I had two vintage SLR cameras going at the end of April and beginning of May, and I got these pictures back a few weeks ago. They’ve got a great vibe, and I really feel like I’m getting the hang of film and old manual cameras. The photos show such improvement over the previous batch.

Lessons Learned with Expired Film

Taken with a Minolta SR-T 102 on expired Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400

I have developed a new obsession, and I have three rolls of film in various stages of completion in three old SLR film cameras to prove it. I just got back a roll of photos that I took last week, and let’s just say I have a lot to learn still. Come see what I’ve done. (I hope you like light leaks.)
