I would like to go on the record saying that I have borderline the best boyfriend ever. He searched high and low to find a holga lens that would fit my camera! What he didn't know was it also came with a pinhole lens! It was one of the most thoughtful gift ever AND it takes awesome pictures! Here is just a sneak peak of some of the pictures we took!

About a month ago when I got to go to my aunt Pegs house I saw two horses! I soon found out they were her neighbors horses. She says they are snobby horses but i fell in love with them. They are more skitzy to me than anything but they are so lovely. Here are a few pictures from my rendezvous with the horses.


Only one horse came to visit. The other horse was to scared of us i guess.


So beautiful

The horse actually let me pet him, what a wonderful day!

So Aunt peg has the cutest house. Its so family oriented and i really wish i could of gotten more pictures of what she had going on around her house. She has chalkboard glasses that you can write your name or a message on. Often times she said she see's her kids glasses lying around with "Just Water" or "There's nothing else to drink but water" written on their glasses. they leave messages to each others on the glasses. To bad i forgot to take a picture of them, however she did get them at pottery barn!

This was her tree and the santas in the window were such a wonderful touch.

These little santas and a bowl of acorns were so adorable. She had her record player and records right under this table, it was a lovely set up.

The gingerbread house her and her grandchildren made together complete with the abominable snowman!

This is my neice Juliana, They all call her Ju, She is the ornery little girl i ever met, but when you get to know her she is FANTASTIC!

and this is what we taught her to do, make moose ears. From left to right is my stepsister Jen, Ju, and my mama.

Recently my step-dad told me he had something to give me from when he was younger and I was excited about it. Now that I have it i am even more excited! My step-dad gave me his old film camera with two lenses, I can't wait to use it!

This is the camera, I don't know much about it so i'm hoping theres some information online about it somewhere. He included a photo book and about three newspaper articles about film cameras that he clipped.


He gave it to me with a wide angle lens

and a telephoto lens!

I can't wait to have some free time and use it!

I'm still waiting on my card reader and currently have like a millllionnnn pictures to upload. Heres just one of them that i uploaded onto a different computer. The card reader just needs to get here already! heres to wishful thinking ...

ALSO, this is the worst picture ever, but my boyfriend got me thissssssss

best boyfriend ever ... i think sooooo!!! (i'll be back with a real post after my partying stops ;)

Happy 8/9/10 to everyone! I hope everyone's day is going to lovely! I am going to get sushi and probably bubble tea afterward with my best friend who just got back from a week being away, she was missed a lot. I guess this will sort of be like a weekend catch-up dealio! Friday my boyfriend & I did first friday again, we stayed in the same spot we were in last week so our set up basically looked like this again

except i had a chinese take-out box for the fortune cookies, more owls & no mug cozys. I ended up making a decent amount of money, the owls sell like hot cakes out there, which is good. Eddy always does very well with his paintings, i made the most i have made yet, which is good!

Saturday eddy and i spent our morning dog sitting one of our favorite dogs Rambo. Although he lives almost an hour & 15 minutes away we still like to go visit once and a while and go hang out with him, take him for a walk & romp around. Rambo gets excited when he see's us!

next we went to a picnic where it ended with me in the hot tub, towel in toe. whoops.

Sunday we decided to go for a mid-day trip to the beach, we didn't sun bathe or anything we just took lots of pictures. My bag had 3 cameras & a tripod in it, that was it. Made me kind of laugh! The people in the sky ride kind of look like they are waving to us but they were really waving to their friends behind them, makes the picture more interesting!

jersey shore at its finest.

we spent atleast an hour playing skee ball, we kept getting free games, it was 3 games for a dollar so i paid one dollar & got about 15-20 games. It was amazing.

we also found this button that someone had replaced to say, "hi" instead of "start" it made me smile so hard!

i spent most of my time with my holga on my tripod!





The last four pictures were my favorites of all the pictures i took. I have one roll of film to devlope & a roll from my holga that is about 1/2 way finished. I'm not sure how the pictures will come out though because i was using 35mm instead of the 120 i should be using and i haven't been clicking it 36 times like recommended, i have been doing whatever i want with it. hopefully they come out though!

for a whille now i have really been into cameras & the diffferent kinds of pictures they can take. I recently bought this one

that i have a roll of film in now, when i develop it i will share the results, if they are good! I turned my lomo into a 35 mm from a 120mm and took a whole roll of pictures with that, but none of them came out, well like 5 pictures came out. Not enough to really share, the next time they will come out and i will be able to share!

Here is a bunch of cameras that i am in love with, i just can't get enough!

This gorgeous all white holga is a dream & although i already have a all black one, i still think i need another!

I love the color of both of these holgas, so adorable!

This Diana dreamer is gorgeous [source]

this is my dream camera! I found it on ebay a few days ago but it was selling for 85+, i can not justify that kind of a purchase :/

This gorgeous underwater number

I lust after this fisheye, I've almost bought it twice. It will be my next purchase i think!

[source]
and this gorgeous action sampler. I want all of these cameras so bad and maybe one day i will own them all, but i don't think anyone needs that many cameras. On second thought, what was i thinking? I do need to own all of these!

All photos, unless otherwise noted found onweheartit

A while ago i got this camera at a flea market.

well the leather started falling off of it and it looked like it was real dirty underneath. I took alcohol to the dirty parts after ripping most of the leather off. The alcohol took off most of the dirt, dried glue and grime then i dried it with a clean towel. I used the leather parts that were on there to create a template and then i just cut & glued. Now i have a cute unique camera that looks like it belongs to me




I'm proud of the way it came out. I really do love the look of it. If this paper ever comes off i will probably just recover (or paint it) in a new way. I love that this isn't to permanent but permanent enough that if i want it to stay this way it most likely will!

Have any of you guys revamped an old camera, i would love to see pictures!

I hope everyone is having a happy Monday. I have to go to work in about 2 hours, but i don't really mind seeing as i haven't been there in almost a week!
