Point and Click

I've had a fantastic find today!

Whilst doing a clearout at work, I stumbled across a Polaroid 636 Close Up camera! I was most excited, and as it was about to be chucked, I rescued the poor thing and it is now pride of place in my home :)

Only problem is getting hold of some film, as it's a little pricey. But I've been desperate for a polaroid camera for ages (in fact, had an obsession with them when I was 15) and have been nosing around on ebay for a while, so seeing as it was free, I don't mind paying for film :)

Other exciting camera news...my brother (best ever) has got me a fuji instax for my birthday ♥ (1 more week to go!)

Looking forward to playing with this little doll :)

I'm known amongst my friends for always having my camera ready (they don't always love this!) and I can't help myself in taking pictures of people. I have to say, I'm not a great one for landscape photos....I prefer to point and click at people, especially when they pull silly faces or pose with a giant calculator ;)

I ♥ photos

And so begins my camera collection! I've been reading lots and looking at different examples of cameras on lots of blogs and the future 3 I have my eye on are:

Lomography Fisheye

Diana F+ 'Mr Pink'

Holga

I'm already super excited about showing you my photo experiments :)

First of all... I must make this! It's going to go above my bed ♥ I'm not sure how as I don't have a polaroid camera, but I'll figure it out :) Anyone know what the rollip.com photos will print out like? Might try a couple and see..

Browsing the old blog circle today and stumbled across this amazing artist! Marc Johns has some pretty crazy ideas and I love them :) I actually found a pack of his cards in a TK Maxx the other day but had to resist as I was a little broke, but now they are playing on my mind again, so I may have to sneak back and find them...

Aren't they cute?! Right, packing avoidence is working a treat...a little too well in fact. Must return to the depths of my belongings *sigh*

Hope your evening is lovely :)

Photo Love

Evening all :)

I've been playing around with photos and choosing some to display in the new pad. I'm particularly obsessesed with Rollip at the moment, you can create some great effects. My favourite one is probably the simplest but still gives it the slightly grainy, faded quality. The one below was taken on my phone camera and uploaded onto the site. I love this picture, I stumbled across this on a jaunt down one of my very favourite roads.*Loves*

A very strange, little painted house in a place I don't visit often enough :)

There's also an option that puts a bluish (technical I know) filter over the photo - can sometimes look great, sometimes scary, but fun to experiment!A kite festival that even had sychronised kites! We were impressed :)

At an unexpected gig where we came across Teitur...he stole our hearts. *Loves*

I've also been trying to turn some of my photos into black and white. I really love this look sometimes and want to try a few printed. Here's some inspiration *Loves* I have found along my research way:

Girl

Bowie

Burberry

Batman

I'm still a little tempted to create my comic book coffee table...such a geek! Right bed is calling, night all!
