So I have been playing with film photography.  Still not really sure why I love it so much.  Maybe the colors,  maybe the grain, maybe the slow process, maybe the lovely people I have met along the way, maybe it's the beautiful images I have seen on other people's blogs, I am not sure.  I have been processing them at home and scanning them on a flat bed.  And yes, scanning is really hard, so for my last roll of portra 400, I decided to send them to a pro lab (PPI).  I received my scans last week and I love them so much.

They are far from perfect, the framing could be better, the focus could be a lot better but the colors are so beautiful!

This is my third time participating in the Film-mama blog circle.  As the title says it we are a bunch of mamas who love film photography.  Many of these mamas are super talented, so make sure you circle around all the blogs and enjoy their beautiful work.

Here are my favorite from my last roll:  Mr D and George.

and the last one is just bonus, because I love the simplicity and colors in it!  It was taken on a little walk on a grey day to a lake nearby.

Next in the blog circle is Brenda with some lovely images.

Excited to participate in the second blog circle with the lovely ladies from Film-mama.  If you love photography and are curious about film, I hope you'll enjoy going around the circle.

The kids and I took a road trip to South Carolina.  We live in Massachusetts, so the ride was loooong. Luckily we got to meet friends on the way and it made  a lot more fun. I challenged myself to do only film.  It was much harder than I thought and not everything went as smoothly as anticipated, but I will not bore you with the details.

We stopped in NYC, and had a lovely day visiting the Museum of Natural History. We had hot dogs and falafel, a little walk around Central Park and took a NYC cab.

after lots of driving and visiting some more friends, we were so happy to find spring,  ice cream and Chick Fil-A in South Carolina.

My friend and I decided to pack up the kids and to the beach and we spent a day and half in Charleston.  The weather cooperated most of the time.  A few showers but also some sunshine made the trip even more exciting.












My kids are used to swimming in North Wales (UK) and thought the water was very warm in March in South Carolina.
These were shot on portra 400 and some Fujifilm superia X-tra 400.





Please hop over HERE and enjoy Max's beautiful film work!

About a month ago, my dear friend Peter lent me his Film camera and my other friend Heather kept nagging me and telling me I should try out film and that I would love it.  So I did.  I tried it and loved it.  Of course, it's still very much hit or miss, but I am learning.
I joined a lovely group of women: film-mama, and we decided to have an all film blog circle.   If you love beautiful film images, you will love going around the circle!

Last saturday it was spring for one day in New England, so we headed out to get some frozen yogurt and I brought the film camera along.  I am going to explain how a frozen yogurt place works, because I know my nephews and nieces in France are reading this and they don't have frozen yogurt places over there.

first you need to try as many samples as possible.

then you choose your flavor


Dyllon's favorite is "minty"

You also choose a topping, there all sorts of toppings.  Noa always chooses gummy bears, I really don't understand gummy bears on ice-cream.  I like crunchy things.


then you sit by the window, in the sunshine and enjoy.


and then it's all gone!
