NEW YORK ON FILM

This post is dedicated to all the hard work my camera put into capturing special moments in New York. I was quite nervous about the film developing weirdly because of the colder temperature in the east coast but thank the Lord baby Jesus nothing went wrong!

Something about the grain and deeper tones in these photos makes the memories of my trip all the more nostalgic. Can't wait to go back and do it all over again.

Hope you enjoyed~

Best fishes,

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW

*Cue High School Musical's Start of Something New*

After countless months of deliberating, researching, and questioning,  I have finally finally purchased my first film camera. Meet my PENTAX ME SUPER--the perfect lil number with just the right amount of functions and practicality.

Instead of listing out all the mechanics of my camera, I'll link this very informative manual that I found on the Internet: http://www.cameramanuals.org/pentax_pdf/pentax_me_super.pdf

Growing up, I was always exposed to film photography since my dad had worked at one of those 1-HR film developing Kodak stores in Manhattan Beach. I'd often visit his work place and play around with the devices used to create such interesting photos and if I was ever lucky enough, he'd let me sneak a peek into the dark room. I think the nostalgia from that particular memory combined with my overall interest in photography sparked this massive desire to purchase my own film camera.

I recently got my first roll of film developed (hurrah!) and I was blown away by the results. Something about the green undertones and subtle noise made such an impact on the photos that I really hadn't expected. 

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do--scroll through to see some (unedited) from my very first roll.

All the best,
