I think the last time I shot an entire roll with film was in my photography class in college. Or maybe, it was with our underwater camera. Whichever, film is always tricky, surprising and really quite fun. It’s really nice not to lug around our Canon, and just knowing we have one shot, and not 40 attempts to get the “right” shot.
It was freeing to embrace the unknown element, and nice to have actual physical copies of our photos to put in frames or a photo album.
So, here is actual 35 mm film, unedited…enjoy!
I have recently gotten into film as well. It is so much fun! I use my dad’s old SLR that he photographed my childhood on. I don’t play with it as much as I would like, though, because I just don’t have many things to take photos of. My life is not as stylish and beautiful as yours appears to be, though
I have an old Brownie from the 40s that is supposedly in working condition. I’ve been wanting to run a roll through it and develop it myself but am too intimidated. This is actually something I’ve been putting off for a few years now!
Oh, lady, Your life is ever beautiful and stylish and lovely! This I know for sure!
When we took our film to get developed the film, the lady told us that they were raising the prices to phase out film! I was shocked and sad. But it sure won’t stop us!
Where did you take your film? I just take mine to Walgreens and it is super expensive! I’ve been trying to find someplace else without success, but I don’t know the city very well!
Yes! We go to Walgreens too..and yes it can be expensive. We will have to search for a cheaper alternative!
These looks great.
I do love film! Like you said…you only have one shot to get it right.
Wow! I always think that film looks better than digital. I took 11 rolls of 35mm film while i was in Prague (you can read my blog post about it here: http://retrogypsy.com/travelogue-prague/) Love these photos you took – and that little house with the red trim really is quite wonderful.

Wow, Jenn, those photos are stunning. And you actual have them in your hands. Sometimes digital can be a pain, because I rarely get them printed out.
Than you so much for your comment, and for your lovely blog for me to obsess over!
