horses cuddle

I've posted this on flickr long ago but never here, and it's one of my favorites.

"the greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return..!"

there will be no more horses on this blog
especially the lady above.
i give thanks to everyone who have written sweet
comments on my horse-posts. thanks!

my favorite view.

ah!

possibly my favorite holga photo i've taken.
so cool to get this from a camera that doesnt use batteries,
with a simple kodak film. such a nice surprise.

a film.

{H}ere below follows a filmroll that i've kept in my silver plastic Minolta as a "pocket camera" to snap shots of random things from september to january. i figured it would be a fun kind of project, because that is how we all used to take photos once upon a time, remember? and i think minolta is climbing my favorite camera stair. it is awesome.

i've been waiting and waiting to get them developed, it's been a test of my patience. it was difficult to use it up, i left 8 exposures, my patience ran out. lol. 36 exposures is ALOT. it's easier with 24. The film is Ilford HP5 iso400 135 mm 36 exp. i've never used it before, and i didn't know what to expect from it, i've tried to research it online but havent really found any photos. i wanted a film that was both dark and bright. here it is. and i like it alot together with this camera.

curious.

a mini expedition.

saturday sunset polaroids

M and me.
lovely starshine on a lovely world.

moonia polaroids.

today before the sun set at 2 pm.
the light and colors were amazing.
i love winter days like these.

i'm dedicating a whole film pack for this (and surely more than just one)
because, the precious things in life, is what precious film is for!
she's not scared by the loud noice of the
polaroid camera anymore, so i think she agrees.
she kindly said "snap away!"

new years eve.

my friends had a metal dinner party but that will be a
future post when i get the photos back from the developer.
aren't M's tiny ears adorable covered in all that fur?!
she is so cute i could die.

peach days are my favorite.

my christmas tree..

{M}y favorite christmas tree is a good old fashioned real green tree in early 20'th century ornaments.. but this is my frosty stardust tree... you know.. in the "if i were a christmas tree" category lol. I finished decorating it today. it has all my good things on it.. favorite music in gingerbread, candy canes, birds, vintage family ornaments, ornaments given to me, and photo hearts. this is what it looked like last year.

Happy holidays
&
Heartagram kisses!

moonia and the dianaf+, summer to autumn,

hugging.
i'm so happy to get these
precious moments on film.


film: kodak portra 160VCi got 11 of 12 photos back on this filmroll.
that's a good roll.

so far, the dianaf+ has been a much more stable camera than
my holga120fn. that holga has much more tricks up its sleeve!
those two cameras definitely has different personalities!

i bought a 5 pack of this "professional" film, it was the only one i
could find at the time, so i'm stuck with it for a long time.
but i like it. the colors are vivid.

the most important thing to me though,
is what is on the film... !

hello october.

Moonia polaroid's from 2010.

all of my polaroids are from 2010. zero from 2011. uh sad.

Moonia, by holga

{I} got all 12 photos back from my holga roll! that doesnt happen often! so gold star for my holga. half the roll was really good, and the rest were the typical holga goes mad! as can be seen on the mountain photos. but holga is holga, and it does whatever it wants. out of this roll, this first pic below is my favorite. film: kodak portra 160VC
