hiding inside

It is a cold, miserable and rainy Sunday. The day started off with Michael Jackson music videos on youtube and a quick trip to the mall. Now I have no desire to venture back outside. I feel like rolling myself up in some cuddly blankets and having a wee nap! The result of too many sausage rolls and cups of tea I think.

Normally grey days aren't the best for photo taking, but here are a few from around my house. Hop over here to create your own. Hope you are keeping warm and healthy x

sunny days

Today has been so lovely and warm. I can't wait for summer!

On sunny days I like to take my Holga out. If you have no idea what a Holga is, it is a medium format camera. It looks and feels like it could be a toy, but it produces these fantastic, sometimes slightly blurred, dreamy shots. With every click you never know what you will get! I love digital cameras but for me there is a certain charm using a manual film camera.
Having to adjust and wind from frame to frame just makes me more aware of what I am actually doing - and capturing. I remember my Mum having an old camera with a flash you attached that looked like little icetrays!

Anyway, here are a few of my favourite pics I have taken with my Holga. I don't take the little gem out as much as I should, but I will endeavour to this summer.

I would love to own every single camera of the lomographic family. I think a Diana might be next... x
