Two thousand twelve

I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all the best during the holidays (or has that ship already sailed?) and in the impending new year. May all your new New Year's resolutions last longer than the ones from last year. Two thousand and twelve. 2012. Looks pretty enough in writing but God, I feel like I'm getting old. Nineteen already in July, dang. 

I'm currently holed up in my room, studying and I don't think I'll update often until February. But here's to good books, Isabel Marant sweaters, great new hairdos, cross-continental roadtrips, amazing time with friends and life! I'll drink to that!

These pictures were actually taken at a lomography workshop I attended with my friend Julie. While the results weren't all too overwhelming, good or bad, I definitely learned some things. Like, what pinhole actually entails...after two years...really...true story!

Thank you for reading and commenting on this ole blog o' mine. It really means a lot - x

Nighttiming

Sofie and I took these in July. Like the amateurs we are (and I will never pretend to be otherwise), we wanted to try out writing and drawing with light. I can't help but like the way they turned out. Too bad we both only got them developed after she moved away. The old sport will be living in Riga this year. When she comes back, we'll learn how to skateboard together. 

How do you like these? Any Lomo experts with brilliant tips on light writing? - x

Lomography part two

Here they are, the second batch of my Lomo photos that I got developed last week. I used actual film from Lomography this time and I think you can notice a difference when you use Fujifilm for instance. Now I no longer have random pink spots on my photos. Anyone noticed that too?

Lomography

I've had my Diana F+ camera for about a year now, but I've only recently started to love taking pictures with it. I took it with me to France and to Greece, to school and on lazy Wednesdays sitting by the water.

And here are some of the results.I don't really care whether they're any good or special, they and the memories that surround them make me smile and I dearly treasure my little photos.

I'll probably do a post on the second batch in a few days. Lots of love

P.S. My lovely boyfriend pops up in a few photos. I can remember writing about our very first weeks together, almost seems so long ago now.

Diana F+ summer memories

I just got my first roll of film shot with my Diana F+ developed. *huge smiley face* *apparently I'm one of those people who use asterisks to express their feelings* As always, I was putting this off but I'm so glad that I finally got off my lazy ass, thanks to a kind reminder by the lovely Fauve. I'm quite pleased with the overall result although I obviously went a little crazy with the multiple exposures. They're probably complete rubbish but the Diana F+, or the analogue feeling gives them an undeniable charm.

I took all of them while I was in Italy in July and around my hometown, Ghent. That's why basically every single person  in these is family. Pictured are my mom, my brother Jan, my step dad and my step siblings Maur and Louisa. That's such a negative word because I love them all equally, more or less...

Although it looks like I'm sort of friendless (which is, in a way, sort of the case), I just haven't taken my camera with me when I met with them. I'd feel like a little douchebag. But, my next roll will be filled with joy, rainbows and cupcakes for sure.

P.S. Check out this supersweet post that Marie of Ruinée mais stylée wrote about me. I actually squealed with joy when I read it. No one has ever written anything about my blog so this basically made my day. I feel so honoured to be even considered. Thank you, thank you, chère Marie!
