Somehow January slipped away and we're in mid February. I promise I'll be a better blogger.

I've digged up some old film photos from the year that were almost forgotten. I need to be more organized with my photos. What's the point of capturing moments when they end up being left behind, right?

I recently acquired an old Canon AE-1 camera from a vintage bazaar. It still had film inside it, no idea how long it's been there, but I managed to get a few shots out of it. Not great shots, but at least I know it works! I've since got a new lens for the camera, and expect to play with it more!

I used to live nearby, and always loved a good weekend stroll down the road. Old buildings has it's charm, and so do the thrift shops.

Every now and then, I catch the sight of the early morning Melbourne hot air balloons on my way to work. On good days, there's a cluster of them, and closer and bigger looking too. It makes those frantic weekday commutes a little nicer.

Drinking... tea with milk and cinnamon - on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, with the heater on. Brrr.. it's a cold winter!
Cooking... roasted sweet potatoes
Reading... I Capture the Castle

Watching... Wimbledon
Visiting... Sydney for a weekend

Learning... resin jewellery making
Peeking through... a sweet looking cafe with dolls and books in the window but has never been open when I walk past.

How has your June been? :)

So I'm back in Melbourne again. The Sydney trip was short but awesome. Going to the Vivid Festival meant attempting the very tricky art of night time lomo photography. I have yet to get any of the films developed, but fingers crossed it won't be a complete disaster.

It's odd being back to a 9-5 routine after a whirlwind travel trip...

Yes, I'm one of those people.
This was brunch a while back at the Hardware Societe. I had baked eggs and they were delicious.

at Queen Victoria market.
I wonder if a little cactus would go well in my apartment.

Camera: wide lens Superheadz, film: expired AGFA Optima 200 (2006) 

They strolled through Melbourne a while back.
They look perplexed by all that attention and cameras pointed at them, huh? Can't blame them. They don't see many human beings where they're from, I guess.

This was part of the Moomba parade.

These shots were taken from high up on the Eureka Skydeck. Melbourne is a pretty good looking city.

camera: diana mini, film:? 

It's a rainy Saturday evening. That's a good enough excuse to stay in with a cup of tea, have a mini marathon of Revenge, and do some paper crafting (tissue paper pompoms are my new obsession). Although to be honest, I'd be doing this anyway even if it wasn't raining!
What are you up to this weekend?

I forgot how nice and easy it is to use the old wide-lens Superheadz. Easy enough to try out an expired film I scored at the opshop over a weekend.

Camera: Pentax IQ Zoom 700, film: lomography 100

I can't believe for all the years I've lived in Melbourne, this summer was the first time I've been to the free Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concerts at the Sidney Myer music bowl. It's such a sublime way to spend a summer evening. There's always a huge crowd, but we managed to find nice spots for our picnic blanket. I like the softness and light captured in these photos. I was trying out a new/old point and shoot film camera I picked up from the opshop for $8. Not bad.. the yellow tinge matched our outfits.
