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!

File this one under “Weird Stuff in Your Own Back Yard That You Never Visited Before Despite Living Here for Twenty-Five Years.” It’s the Deserted Village of Feltville, in the Watchung Reservation, less than 20 minutes away from home.

Two cameras: one digital, one 35mm filled with LomoChrome Purple film. Two sets of images: one normal, one otherworldly. Come see the results of my first experience with this fun film, and compare each image to the digital scene to see how the colors were changed!

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.

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.)

I don’t know if it’s the Spring air or what, but I feel enthusiastic again about picking up the camera. I’ve signed up for a prompt-based flower photography class for May, and I’ve picked up a roll of LomoChrome Purple film to play with.

I wrapped up my ornament-making season this week, and then whipped up a few jewelry pieces, because I was surprisingly still in the mood. That’s not great news for my dining room table, but it’s good news for anyone who’s been thinking they’d like a new colorful bangle bracelet to go with that sweater…

Ah, Thanksgiving week. I have always loved Thanksgiving, both for the opportunity to gather with family, and as a harbinger of the Christmas season. But during years such as this one, where I have been gainfully employed, I have also come to appreciate Thanksgiving for the four-day weekend it provides 🙂
