friday film

This photo was taken with a 4 lens 35mm camera. As this is my first roll of film from the camera, I had no idea how the photos would turn out as I was taking them. I have learnt that the plastic viewfinder sitting on top of the camera resulted in my framing being off and that the four photos are taken in a U sequence (which is only noticeable in photos capturing movement). Some photos have imperfections which turned out to be quite pretty. Overall, it was lots of fun to experiment with. The next roll will be more planned out, though I'm not sure what to use it for yet..


making the christmas cake

One of our oldest family traditions is baking the Christmas cake together. We do it every year somewhere between September and November..the time is increasingly dependent on when we can get as many of us together as possible! We always play Christmas with Nat and Dean, sing loudly and dance around the kitchen. Then we make wishes and stir the batter for the video camera. I appreciate each year I am able to join my family for this fun tradition and I can't wait to spend Christmas with them all.
