The oddest looking SLR you'll ever see!

{It's a Yashica Samurai x.30 half frame camera! How cool is that?!
Thomas always finds the most amazing things in charity shops!}

Talking of cameras - I put together a camera inspired anti treasury for my amazing photoswap partner Lindsay - I'm mildy obsessed...

Have a great weekend!!
p.s. I also put together a guest post for the lovely Erin who is over here right now about Berlin, I've been busy for someone on a break!

Happy Birthday Thomas!!

So first, Boyfriend's name is Thomas...
(you were hoping for Kosmo, werent you?)

And today he turns 25!!

To celebrate I decided to make him an adventure scrapbook - just like the one that Ellie has in the film Up. We both adore that film and I found loads of old photos last time that I went home that I wanted to use to make something special.

Happy Birthday Thomas!!
I love you

p.s. the photo on the page is nearly 7 years old now, how crazy is that... the cat is timmy and the card is the first valentines card he ever got me...

Woohooo!!!

First I just have to say that Boyfriend is a legend! He managed to find the one thing I have been searching for for months... a polaroid camera in a charity shop for under £5!!!

(please excuse my cosy hoody and messy hair :D)

He earned some serious brownie points when he surprised me with this baby!! (though he already maxed out the counter ages ago)

Now here begins the great poloroid film debate in my head - is it really worth spending £20 on a pack of 10 photos? What if I mess them up? Can I afford them?

I know deep down I want them - as much as I wanted the camera in the first place but my sensible side is crying at £2 a photo!

Photos, film and the Photoswap!

This past weekend was rather photo orientated and I loved it!

First I finally put up my own lomography wall. I have had those clips for 4 years and I didn't realise they were lomography ones until now - I love finding out things like that and I love how it turned out!
(though sorry about the rubbish photo...)

Then Boyfriend took his film for the photoswap using Helga (the holga) whilst I walked around with Deedee (the diana mini). Watching him take photos was so much fun, he sees completely different photos in places than I do, that and he is cute!

Unfortunately the first film from my Diana was totally ruined - it completely split in half whilst I was winding it back on. I'm devestated as I took some pretty pictures in Whitby with it - I'm hoping somewhere will try and look at the half of the film still left...

and finally today is the deadline of the photoswap! (I shamelessly stole this photo from Micaela's blog of her with her photoswap camera - isn't it great!) I am so excited about seeing everyone's results and putting all the photos together!
