Film Friday #2

Time for Film Friday #2!
Kylie and I shot some 35mm film the other evening during "magic hour".
For those of you not familiar with it, magic hour is pretty much prime time for photos.
It's right around sunset and the lighting is just perfect for photos.








*All images taken with a Canon Rebel K2 with expired 35mm film.*

I love the way these images turned out.
It was so fun to run around, exploring, and taking photos with my best friend.
It really felt like we were 16 again.
This is pretty much all we did when we were younger.
We'd drive around town, trying to find new hidden places for photos.
I think we'll try to do more of that this summer.

Oh, and I'm starting yet another new feature that I'm excited to share with you all!
I'll be working on it this weekend, so hopefully I'll have something to show for it on Monday.

Happy Friday!
I hope you all have the grandest of weekend plans!

ps. Please bear with me as I play around with the design of this blog. It's still in the process of being tweaked & perfected!

Film Friday

I'm starting a new feature on the blog called Film Friday!
I'm attempting to post more film photography of mine.
It's something that I've always really enjoyed (and even went to school for!), but I rarely make time to experiment these days.
So in an attempt to bring more film into my life, I've started this feature!

I have tons of old cameras, some found at antique stores, others passed down to me from my Grandpa who was a photographer.
So I really have no excuse not to use these amazing cameras of mine!
 For this first roll, I used a cheap little plastic camera of mine.
It's a little Bell & Howell that is "focus-free" and quite unpredictable.
 But that's a quality that I kind of love in cameras.
I took these photos in Chicago on our 2nd Anniversary a few days ago. We drove downtown, then headed up north into the woods.

 Hopefully I'll have more where these came from ;)

Happy Friday everyone!
I hope you all have grand weekend plans ahead of you.
Mine includes a circus-themed birthday party for one of my very best friends tonight!
