Croatia 35mm Film; Part 2

another few choice photographs from the trip taken with 35mm film:

on our way to a vineyard on the island of vis for dinner, we were able to stop for this photo op.

inside is the "blue cave" on the island of bisevo. at the right time of day the sun makes the interior glow. don't have great photos of the inside, but definitely a sight to see!

a view from our villa, which was in the village of prijevor, near dubrovnik. unfortunately a fence (and a snake sighting) kept me away from that orange tree!

taken outside the pile gate of dubrovnik

andrew and his sisters in montenegro - i totally regret not making them step on that weed though!

spotted a cat while walking the wall of dubrovnik

view of the area that we took off on our kayak tour. we learned that a game of thrones scene was shot here!

outside dubrovnik's walls. such beauty!

i can't believe we've been back just about a month. i wish i could always be on vacation!

Croatia 35mm Film; Part 1

i had a mini panic attack when i got back from croatia and learned that snapfish recently discontinued film developing. they had the best deal, too! $5.30 for photos sent to you and put online. dang. so then i called around and discovered that most people have given up on film and barely anybody is developing it now. i eventually settled on meijer, but i paid twice as much as i was planning on!

i am glad i brought my big old camera bag and took the time to take some film shots, they definitely turned out the best of any camera, as i knew they would; )

At ACI Marina, in Split, Croatia. We got our boat from here and had a little time to kill before we took off.

This is the president's vacation home near Split that our captain showed us.

Andrew's sister, Tory. First day on the boat.

C'est la vie.

Tory, Andrew, and our captain Joško on the rocky shore.

Hvar Town, Hvar; this was a pretty ritzy town! We couldn't dock our boat - we had to pull up and jump onto shore.


do any of you still use film? where do you get it developed?

In the Morning

it's going to be a beautiful and exciting day! i just know it. i'm getting ready right now and then hopefully the day will go a little like this: farmer's market, gluten free food fair, seeing my friend josh who just moved here, weeding a little bit outside, having some beers on our front porch with our friends brad and kate, and who knows what else! for now i'll leave you with some film photos of one of my cats (who lives with my parents, not me), ellie! she's such a pretty girl.

and now it's coffee time! hope you enjoy your saturday: )

B&W Portraits

wow, i just love film so much! i can't wait to take several rolls in croatia. i need to find some black and white film asap for shots like these as well. i used my dad's pentax k1000 to take these.

happy thursday!
