from film, with love.

i've told you several times now about my vintage half frame camera (an olympus pen ee) and i finally scanned in some pictures today! these are from my first roll, and as with any new camera (since i'm not a professional), there's sort of a time in the beginning when it's all new and you really have no idea what you're doing or what the outcome will be. there is a little bit of a light leak (which i've fixed for the roll of film that's currently in there) that was visible on some pictures but not others, but overall, i'm happy! i mean, come on, i get 48 pictures from a 24 exposure roll, what's not to like?!

one little note about my camera, i first found out about them from a post kjrsten did with some of her amazing photography, and i instantly knew i HAD to have one, there was no way to keep living without it. i found mine on ebay and i've been taking pictures with it nonstop since i got it!

    Great pictures! I've been wishing I could have a cool film camera but don't have the first idea about where to get film that isn't plain old boring film developed so I've held off.

    i've got an action sampler 4 photo camera, but it only likes bright sunshine so i'll have to wait a bit.

    Lovely lovely lovely bird pics.

    these are beautiful, and I like the "light leak"--plus, "light leak" sounds pretty. :) I don't know anything about photography but am impressed with your multi-faceted talent. what a girl!
