Well it certainly has been a while since I posted anything to this blog. And I've been thinking its about time I get back to posting regularly here.This is just a little snippet of some beautiful things in my life.

Ohh and another thing check out my beauty blog for... 
DIY DECEMBER !!!

Summer is (FINALLY) here

CHERRIES BABY!

You know that Summer is here when you see cherry stands pop up and bags full of cherries fill the grocery stores.

So I have a little story behind this image:

My little sister is constantly raiding the fridge at our family cabin. So when I needed to shoot some food for my Portfolio class, I of course picked up a big ol' bag of cherries. In what seems like a matter of minutes almost the entire bag disappears into the depths of my sisters stomach. Thankfully she had left me 5 cherries out of the hundreds I had bought. Needless to say all 5 cherries that she left for me were not perfect. But at least these 3 cherries were pretty enough to shoot.

THE PERFECT WEEKEND

MAN OH MAN it has been a while since I have posted on my blog, but have no fear! 

IM BACK :)

The best part of summer for me is spending time at my family's beach cabin, and nothing beats a freshly caught crab salad. Now that is what I call delicious!

FILM IS NOT DEAD!

Forgive me for my excitement but

I am in LOVE with my HOLGA 120 TLR...

and this is where I lose you,TLR? What is this lady talking about?

Twin Lens Reflex of course! Let me show you the difference,

This is a Regular Holga that uses 35mm film:

Now this is a Holga TLR that uses 120mm film:

Instead of looking through the back of the camera into the viewfinder you actually get to look down above the camera because a little trap door on the top of the camera opens allowing you to view whatever you are photographing.

OHH AHHH :)

Now onto the difference in film,

35mm:

120mm:

Now I will admit that the first time I used my Holga TLR I was beyond scared of loading the film wrong or not taping the back up properly to shelter it from major light leaks.

But alas YouTube, you have saved me once again from stupidity!

Now your all done shooting and its time to unload your film, here are some things you need to know. You do not need to use a darkroom when unloading your 120 film, subdued light works just fine since the film has a dark backing that protects the film. But if you plan on using a 35mm adapter with your Holga 120 TLR then you will need a "darkroom".

Now that I have bored you to death let me show you images that I got with my Holga!

(p.s. i used a fisheye lens attachment)

Disclaimer: Do not steal my images and not give me credit (how rude)

You wouldn't dare think of doing such a horrible thing now would you?

But...If you do I will have to track you down, get ahold of your mother

and have her spank you. Don't make me get ahold your mommy.
