Three years ago I bought a Holga and four rolls of film, two b&w, two color. Two years ago I started on my first roll. I finished the last roll last month, and sent it off to a lab. I had absolutely no idea what I would see when I got them back, because I spent two years taking 50ish pictures. I got the digital scans yesterday, and still cannot contain how delighted I am with the result.
Summary: I need more film in my life.
Amazing!!! I agree – you need more film in your life! These are all so beautiful, Sarah. I had a similar experience – I had a roll of film that was three years old that I had developed… sad for me my camera broke halfway through the roll (which is why it took me 3 years to get it developed) and the entire roll was shot. Oh well! Glad to hear your 2-year anticipation was much more worth it than mine was 🙂
so fun! I love my holga too and am trying to make it a regular part of my shooting… but so far it’s about 1 year 3-4 rolls at most
holga-tastic! awesome stuff! worth the 3 year wait i’d say!
love this. ♥
YAY! Film film film!!! You definitely need more of it in your life!
I’m impressed with not just the film but with the selection of subjects. My favorite has to be the VW bug. The Capitol building framed by the trees with the man in the foreground is also impressive. The lighting seemed perfect. Well done, Sarah. I wish I could be as good as you.
what a fun post! This reminds me of the power of film: how it captures both random and special moments in our lives and how much pictures make us remember and cherish life in a unique way.
That’s so much fun! Thanks for sharing your film adventure with us!
