Film photographs

I'm home in Edmonton for the weekend and I've been having a lovely time. Along with seeing friends and applying for jobs, I was also able to get a roll of film developed. I started this roll in January, and so it seemed fitting to get it developed now, with only three days of classes left. This roll of film spans my entire winter semester! I really like some of the photographs and I thought it'd be fun to share them with you all.


















I absolutely love these floral sunglasses, which I bought at Ardene's for about $5. I can't wait to wear them all summer long. Thanks for looking, and I hope you all had a lovely weekend as well!

Film Photographs

I got my first roll of film with my new camera developed. My camera is a Fujifilm DL-270 Zoom, and I used Fujifilm 200 speed 35mm film, which is to say, the most basic film. I'm really happy with the results. These are not all of the photos, I've omitted ones of my parents and school friends.



My camera apparently has a panoramic setting. I'm looking forward to using this setting with landscapes, but this was totally unintentional. This photo is twice as wide as the others.


My really wonderful girlfriend, Stephanie.

Although my expression is odd, I really like this photo. The sunlight is beautiful. Stephanie said "try not to squint" and this was the result.

Friday afternoon

Hello all!

I am very honoured to be featured on Kae's blog For Fatshion's Sake. Head on over there to read the interview she did with me.


The past few weeks I have been listening to mixed CDs I made 3-4 years ago. A lot of them are pretty good, but I am overcome with nostalgia. I've also been looking through (and posting) a lot of older photos, which definitely adds to my nostalgia. The sunshine is causing me to be super energetic and optimistic, which may be the only upside of seasonal affective disorder.

I am also desperately yearning for some film. I have an awesome Polaroid camera but alas, only 2 pictures left. It seems eBay would be the best place to buy the 600 Polaroid film, but I've never shopped on eBay before. I'm also looking for a 35mm film camera, as 35mm film is still readily available. All of my family's film cameras have bitten the dust, and so this weekend I may swing by some thrift stores and search. What is it about film that is so glorious?


My 16th birthday

Speaking of photographs, when I was 11 I got an honourable mention in an Owl Magazine photo contest. An honourable mention may not seem like much, but I won a camera and my name was published in a national magazine. This is very cool for an 11 year-old.

Well, I think I have sufficiently rambled enough. I hope you all have a good weekend!

It Is Not Yet Spring

It is not yet spring and I can attest to that
I have slipped on the ice and fallen on my fat
Ass more than once in the past few days
Especially in the morning when my mind is a haze
This morning, however, was a bit different
When I fell I was helped by a caring young gent
He held open the door, asked if my leg was alright
Who knew one of my peers could be so polite
Although this boys actions were terrible nice
It does not change the fact that there is still ice
Under my feet, with every step I take
To and from school, when I’m barely awake
I am sick and tired of this grey winter gloom
And I’m desperately waiting for the flowers to bloom
But it seems skirts and sandals still have to wait
Why must this never-ending winter be my fate?
