Ahh, this was taken right after the locksmith left. The awesome day where we paid $60 to get into our house after a morning run. It was my fault! I took the wrong key.
Lizards don’t do so well in our home
My last photo of Ada, we were about to jump into a cab and I quickly snapped this one
It’s been a little quiet here and I think about it everyday. I’m kinda dealing with a shift in me, I know it’s there and taking place, I just haven’t been able to adapt so well. But it’s all good, great actually. I only need to get used to the new voices I hear in my head.
Are there question marks above your heads right now? Haha, well for example, I really don’t feel like picking up my digital SLR and shooting with it. And I kinda want to be stubborn and shoot purely on film. Even if it’ll take me a month to finish a roll and leave me with no material for my blog, I still want to. And if that’s not enough, I want to shoot only when there’s awesome sunlight to work with. Which is really hard considering how nocturnal I am. Yeah… shite like that is stirring in my head.
wowww I love the first photo.
the lighting is excellent… so these were all taken with your film camera? Your Diana is it? How do you upload the photos into your computer? Do you use a scanner?? I just received a film camera last week too and am wondering how i’ll upload the photos to my computer while maintaining the clarity of the photos….
hmm hope you’ll adjust to the voices in your head alright!
maybe writing in a diary might help? that’s what I do when i have too many jumbled up thoughts…
I’d gladly wait for inspiration to strike and film to be finished and developed. If that’s how the girl on your blog wants to express herself, that should be the only way -)
Hahah tell me about it. I have the same problem photographing jewelry. I only insist on shooting in the day with natural light. And i can only do it on the weekends when i don’t have to rush to work. Of course there’s a 63485216 other things i need to do on the weekends as well.
So yeah.
it’s good to experience shift in life. say hello, learn and settle in the new shift / voice.
i’m still shifting…probably takes awhile. somedays i just want to sit down and do nothing but be happy.
sounds kinda lame.
anyway i like your photos in this entry, it’s different. especially the one with your legs stretch out of the gates.
take your time. this is about you
love your cat…
maybe you just need a handy and light-weight digicam or a polaroid camera that uses Fuji peel apart film, good quality instant results. gee and I was hoping you would post more often, over from the west side:) anyway this is coming from someone who takes years to develop a roll of film.
The photos you took are wonderful. My personal fav is the first one. Yeah, I’ve been dealing with a shift in myself too lately…it can be hard to change and I’m feeling the pain of it in every step:)
Hey I was thinking about shoes and if you want, I could keep an eye out for some cool thrifted 8.5’s for you. What kind of shoes do you like? Who knows though, now if I start looking for that size, I won’t find them anymore:) Ha, ha.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah, I love that first photo. I can’t express to you the extent how Fat Boy’s cuteness
Aaaaaaaaah, I luuuurve cats.
i love your shots with ada!
I think these are lovely! There’s really nothing wrong with listening to that creative shift in you
I’m sure all of us would love to wait for your film shots!
It’s ok Melly, everyone experiences these thoughts/moments once in awhile. Just go with the flow, seek inspiration elsewhere for a change, who knows, it might come to you from an unexpected source, at an unexpected time, and you might come back as good as new. Or not. Either way, I’m here for you melly!
woah. that lizard is freaky
Just shoot whatever and whenever you like and don’t think too much or care about anything else! hehe
I love that last shot of Ada!
We all have our ups and downs, I completely relate to “Are there question marks above your heads right now?” … Yes. A lot of them.
This post is near and dear to my heart. I’m experiencing a similar feeling shift and the question marks above my head are gigantic. Life hits us pretty hard sometimes and although it’s difficult, the thought of this change shaping me and making me a better person (hopefully) is soothing.
ok, this is weird. i thought i wrote something here yesterday… my first line was: more food posts? more outfit posts??! and then i talked about being traumatised by lizards. lol.
alot of uncertainly for me since about the end of last year, and the question marks just piled on one above the other. i’m also gleaning benefits from your readers’ insights. when it comes to the crunch, i guess we’re all not spared the struggles. but it also seems universal that we’ll look back sometime later and know that the struggles are NECESSARY. let’s push on together
Your shots are always so inspiring, film or not.
hello there, your blog is very very pretty.
and i have the same doll, but in blue….
i will definitely be back. see you around
