disorientation

it all came flooding back

oh my

it's been a while!

i've realised i cant live without spectra film, it inspires me.

ideal

I still cant really get over the quality of this film. It's beautiful.

I think its my ideal film as it combines my 2 favourite things, polaroid spectra and black & white film!

cat is me

light room

Spectra, finally!

Finally got hold of some more expired Spectra, its been too long. This was the same day with Hollie as the post just before this one. I love the double!

sisters house

This past week I've been house and cat-sitting for my sister while she was in Egypt. It's been fun, I love having a house to myself, even though I dont act much differently, its nice.

Plus her house is kind of like a hotel, clean, crisp and glossy.

I finally got hold of some more Spectra, its seriously been too long.

Hopefully this weekend I will be taking lots of photo's and will be on here more often,

I promise.

beach

I always moan about hating where I live, because it is shit. But I don't think I could live far away from a beach, its not the greatest but it's nice to know its only a 5-10 minute drive away.

i'm all out, pt 2

i'm also out of spectra film! last 3 shots for the time being :(

frankie photo album

I should've done this a while ago, when the book first come out. But here it is, my contribution to The Frankie Photo Album made by Australia's Frankie Magazine.

I'm still really pleased about being chosen to show my work in this book, it's a pretty big deal for me. Knowing that people all over the world (hopefully) will have a book with MY photograph printed in it.

I'm hoping I get a lot more of this in the near future, everything thats happened with my photography being published is usually from being seen on Flickr, so I'm thankful for that.

And it's such a lovely book, featuring a lot of amazing photographers which I follow on flickr like Emily Hunt, Annette Pehrsson and, Shelbie Dimond.

Buy the book here!

This is the photo that Frankie featured.

something old, something new

Before I fell asleep last night I kept thinking about how I really need to put more effort into taking more photos, I was thinking about what I wanted to do and took inspiration from The Polaroid Book (Taschen)! I saw an image by Mark Power, of two young sisters, one of which is holding a doll by its hair. It seems so nostalgic and I instantly fell in love with it. Here is the image I'm talking about...

Here are images I took today on expired Polaroid Spectra film.

I feel like I look young in these images, I think it's because I just had all my hair chopped off and I look like I did when I was 5. I wish I was 5.

a long walk...

Seeing as though we have been having some lovely weather the past few days, me and my friend Beth went for a walk across the back fields around Laceby. I've never walked round there before and was pleasantly surprised at some of the little hidden wonders there are.

I took my Spectra and expired film, of course! Here are a couple...
