First Role of Film

Hey friends!
These pictures were shot with a Pentax K1000 using 200 speed Kodak film.
The little dusty stuff isn't part of the image, it's from my low-quality film scanner.

Film is satisfying. I went into it with an open mind, willing to take risks with my limited knowledge and not expecting perfection. When I got the role developed, I didn't really care that a few were overexposed or out of focus. It's ART, you guys.
Okay so yes I actually did care that some of them didn't turn out, but it's exciting to just roll with it (there's a pun in there) and to be honest, I wasn't quite sure what I was doing, I just breathed out and clicked the shutter.
You have to be more deliberate with film- there is no delete button- so I only pulled out the camera when I wanted to intentionally capture a moment. Here a few!


My handsome brother builds handsome bicycles. 
Early morning company.  
Ruthie.

Go buy yourself a piney wood
If you have gold for spending
Where you can dream in mellow mood
With peace and joy unending.  

Gavin.

Stacey. 
From the hay loft, looking out. 
That fuzzy lump is a cat. 

I like the harsher color in this one. 


Afternoon light + amused friend. 

Our deer friend. She comes around now & then. 


Abram & Stacey. 

The picture is blurry, but Bonnie is on FIRE with life and rarely sits still, so I'm calling it intentional art.
