I'm always taking pictures. Always. I don't think of myself as a photographer but more someone who enjoys visual journaling. And I'm not just talking about my iphone being full of photos, I'm talking digital, disposable, vintage, film and polaroid. I am addicted to disposable cameras and ALWAYS have one in my purse. At our wedding, we had several on each table so we could get the guests' perspective. Only one problem, I'm not as great at developing as I am at the photo taking and all of this has lead to an ever growing pile of film to be developed. (I'm starting to realize how many 'piles' I have, sorry Todd!)
So what can I do to maybe start gaining on this pile of forgotten memories? Announce a BIG THERUNDMCB BI-WEEKLY PHOTO SHOW-AND-TELL to all of you so I have to stick to it, of course.
Every other week I will reach into the film bag of fun and grab out something to...develop...onto CD. I was so excited to finally get started that this week I picked one disposable camera and one roll of film. The film was in an old Minolta I purchased at a flea market and after I put new batteries in I took the last few photos and have been wanting to get a look!
I picked up the film this evening ...
There were only four photos on the minolta but they were pretty great so I am hopeful for the next roll. The disposable was very interesting and must have been 'lost' for awhile because it jumps from a summer day at Coney Island to my mom's visit to check out the tree at Rockefeller Center. Here are the show-and-tell worthy.
