September POD

September is one of those months that I look forward too.  Summer ends, school begins -- things cool down and one can begin to ease up and enjoy the weather...plus, it means my favorite month is just around the bend (and is now here!).

I've been working on getting access to a darkroom here in town, so in celebration for achieving that goal in September, I present to you some color film images from a roll I took in May of 2011.

I didn't expect how emotional I felt towards seeing this roll developed.  That's the fun in film though.  It isn't instant.  You forget what's on it.  

I'll be developing more old rolls this month.  I can't wait to see them!

Practice

I had a pretty good day today. I got to spend some time practicing. I'm falling in love with manual focus. It's always great to practice what you love.

I took these in Sam's house. The house definitely has a lot of character in it.

It feels good to be able to take some time and relax and shoot some work. It really hasn't taken me too long to photo edit them either. I've been trying really hard to pay attention and focus when I shoot.

I hope you have been enjoying the Spring weather. Even though we haven't had as much rain as we need, it's still been incredibly beautiful outside.

Oh...and this and Mabel. She is adorable.

I hope everyone has a good day today. You deserve it. =)

100th Post!

Whoa...it's the 100th post! That's kind of exciting!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Mine has been busy. We've been rearranging and reorganizing our house all week. The house looks successfully different.

Jill baked some amazing peanut butter cookies.

Janeffer, Brad and I went to Enchanted Rock and got to spend some quality time outside.

It was peaceful out there.

Oh and my tulips are blooming!

Happy Monday and MLK Day!
