Foray into Film

Roughly 2 years ago, I got my mitts on a secondhand film camera during a stroke of artistic inspiration. “Finally!” thought I, “my lifelong transition into a bona fide Art Hoe™ is to be complete.”

Alas, it was not to be. Upon taking my first roll to get developed, I discovered that nothing had developed because the camera no worky. What an absolute bummer, and after all that time, effort, and expense.

So instead I picked up 2 disposable film cameras because surely there’s like no way I could balls this up? Wrong AGAIN. Because the aperture is so tiny and lets in such little light, you need to use flash every time you take a photo and I kept forgetting to tell people about that when I wanted a pic of myself…so again, some of those photos never developed. GRRRR

But anyway out of what did develop, here’s some of my faves

These were all taken in Hokkaido except for the one of my dog. After they were developed and I’d shown them to my parents, dad dug out his old (working!) film camera for me to keep!!

Stay tuned for more pics – this time, with a more sophisticated machine. Anyway I expect the first roll or so to be a bit of a dud whilst I learn how to give this camera the respect it deserves. 😎 Here begins a lifelong money drain…
