I’ve been “borrowing” my boyfriend’s Lumix GF1 quite frequently these days. It all started with me wanting a quick shot of my latest culinary explorings, but now it seems like I’m finding any old excuse just to use the thing. It’s just another incredible bonus to living with a photographer. In other news, Spring is in the air! Get outside and breath it in.

Do you develop your own 120 color film? The reason I ask is that I want to develop my own but I heard that its not worth buying the chemicals if I don't develop much of it. — Asked by fotogal

No I take all of my film to a photo lab and have them process it for me. Then I scan the negatives (or have my boyfriend do it). It’s a lot  of money not to mention the space required to develop film is in convenient, especially color. I could see it being necessary if you were doing a special project, but otherwise save yourself a lot of hassle and send it in.

What Would Bowie Do?

When you find yourself in a bind, your life is stuck in some kind of a terrible and non glittery rut, simply ask “What Would Bowie Do?”. This will help shed some disco light onto your situation. So today I am asking one of the most important questions you can possibly ask, what are we here for?

Well according to Bowie: ”The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”

Well said Mr. Bowie. Well said. Who knew the man was so sentimental?!

Scooter + cameras + sunshine = Sunday exploring.

One more week (and a day)!!!!! I can not wait. The mini previews sound amazing and all these early reviews got me super excited!

It’s the weekend, that means you have time to sit around in your underwear and take photos or make music or take photos of someone making music. Hope everyone is having a good one!

Quoteworthy:

This has to be my favorite line from Eternal Sunshine. Such a bittersweet parting of love lost.

Warmer weather is rapidly approaching and all I can think about is laying on the beach with a big straw hat and a good book (maybe a frozen adult beverage too…).

Did I ever mention my boyfriend is an amazing photographer? Well he is. Here’s some pictures he took from our trip to Satellite Beach last weekend. He posts up at Diary. On another note I would like to say that I have finally gotten over my “fear/awkwardness” of standing in front of the camera (okay I’m still awkward but at least I can hide it a little better). Lesson learned: when two photo takers live together they don’t have much of a choice but to play model for the other - so suck it up and smile (or look off into the distance and pout).

where can i find more beautiful tumblrs like yours? it's just difficult to find the quality ones sometimes... — Asked by eclecticnest

thank you! wow. i completely agree with you. there is a lot of crap out there, but i think it just makes you appreciate the good tumblr/blogs even more once you do find them.

I’ve been really inspired by Sonia Delaunay lately. I love the geometric patterns and bright bold colors. I really want to do a shoot inspired by her love of fashion and art sometime.

Day Off

It’s my day off and to celebrate this momentous occasion I have made strawberry shortcakes! Seriously, this is one of my favorite springtime/summertime desserts EVER! It’s light and sweet and perfect with a cup of tea. Happy Friday everyone!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am especially excited about this Spring and spending as much time as possible in the sun.
