Photography Friday // Roll 2

Welcome to the brand new Photography Friday Blog Hop! It’s the creation of the lovely, Jessica from This Analog Adventure. I’m so happy she asked me to co-host the first week with her! Every week she’ll be encouraging us to dust of our cameras and take some pictures. It doesn’t matter what kind of camera you have – an iPhone, a DSLR, a film camera, an instax – just get out there and press that shutter! Blog about your photographic awesomeness and link up here to share it.



IMG_0141IMG_0147IMG_0149IMG_0151IMG_0152IMG_0153For this week’s link-up I’m sharing my second roll of film of the year. They’re pictures from a day at the beach and a morning with my best friends in Toronto taken with my Diana F+. I especially love the jumping photo of Tasha – it looks like she’s standing on a cloud!


Each week I will choose a new Photographer to be featured. Since this is my first time hosting this link-up, I will be picking somebody starting next friday! To be considered for next week, please link up your photography post below and make sure you are following your hosts & co-hosts. These two things will qualify you for being a featured photographer!

001. Please follow your host/co-hosts and featured photographer!

002. Link up your blog post instead of your main blog URL.

003. Please link back to this link-up in your post, either with a text link or a button. The more people who link up each week means more people see your work, so please help us out any way you can :)

004. Visit and check out as many blogs as you can! Leave comments and love. This link-up is about community, so make some friends!

The Birthday List // Shoot 12 Rolls of Film

photos1_Page_1_2 photos1_Page_1 photos2_2 photos2

These photos are from the first roll of film I developed towards my birthday goal of shooting 12 rolls of film this year. While I was still living in Toronto, I was given a roll of expired FujiFilm by one of the staff at my favourite camera store. It turned up while I was unpacking some things and I decided to put it to use during our first beach trip of the year. These are the only shots that turned out and given that they’re grainy and out of focus, the whole thing might seem like a bust. But, I have to admit, I absolutely love each of these photos. The intensity of the light leaks, the double exposures in the first two, and the relatively monochromatic colour palette all add a lot of character to these shots. I’m so glad I have friends who are willing to spontaneously pull over to the side of the road and shoot photos at an abandoned fry stand. These photos will be quirky reminders of all the fun we had this summer. Now I’m trying to think of creative ways to compile a photo album to take overseas with me… any ideas?
