Haworth

Today I have the day off from work and Thomas and I are taking our Mum's on a day trip to Haworth. We've only been there once before and ours Mum's haven't ever been so I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to finally take some photos again. 

Here are some of the photos I took the last time we were there in the snow. I'm hoping the weather is good to us so I can take more, its such a photographic little place!

Have a great weekend!

Spring is in the air...

Hurray and finally! Though today is actually cold and foggy, but still, Spring is definitely coming.

These were taken with my new to me Zenit-B and I'm totally and utterly in love with them!! And the camera, gosh that camera... You have no idea how relieved I was to see that this first roll worked with it as I absolutely loved carrying that camera around with me and using it was a dream - it sounds amazing, it feels amazing, the lens is beautiful (see that light?!) oh boy... I haven't been this excited about a camera since I got my LC-A... I'm even more excited about it after seeing the photos that Tanit has take with her ZenitB too - I think this camera has amazing potential!

That last photo... I have no words for how happy I am with it - it might have made me cry a little when I first saw it as I was so happy the camera worked, and the yellow is so beautiful, and daffodils are my favourite. I think its as close to perfect in a photo that I've ever been... hurray!

I'm on Society 6

I've seen a lot of peoples work on Society 6 recently and really loved it (Cassia Beck is my favourite*, its a good thing I don't have an iphone, or I would be buying them all as cases... I will be buying this tote eventually though!) and last week I decided to set up my own.

Society 6 is essentially a shop platform that allows you to upload your artwork (photos, illustrations, collages etc) for free to create various products such as prints, iphone covers, tote bags and even pillows. For every item that is sold, you then get a small percentage of the profits. Essentially for me, Society 6 removes all the hard work of sourcing places to produce these items, ordering them, packaging them and posting them out (everything that took too much time for me with my Etsy shop) all you have to do is upload the image, which is so simple, and your item is there.

cases

If I'm honest, I created mine mainly because I wanted to see my photos as Iphone cases - that's probably a little sad/odd/hilarious/indulgent but I just loved the idea of them being something that someone uses everyday, as well as the idea of prints being on someones wall.

You can find my items here!

I've found it quite hard to pick photos, so if theres one you really wanted and its not there, let me know :)

*I've been a huge fan of Cassia's work since I started my blog and she's been incredibly supportive with giveaways and such here too, so if you love her Society 6 definitely check out her Etsy shops as well: Cassia Beck, Lola's Room and Violet May.

A new photographic aim for the year...

I wrote an article for Lomography about my 2013 Analogue Resolutions and one of the resolutions was to start to take portraits of people... so I started looking through my photos to see if I had taken any portraits of people before and to my surprise I had a few that I really loved...(granted not that many out of 4,000 photos, but a few is a start)

My Dad on the North Yorkshire Moor Railway, I'm not sure he's seen this and he'll probably hate it, but I really really love it (so there Dad)

This is one of my best friends, we were on a boat on the Norfolk Broads at the time, I looked up and she looked so pretty and happy, I didn't even think, I just took a photo.

My Thomas. He hates having his photo taken and you can see annoyance and amusement in this photo, which is his usual face when he's dealing me coming to think of it :) I'm quite taken with him.

My Mum walking Harry. If you know my Mum then you know that she doesn't really just walk, she strides with purpose, even when she doesn't need too, so here is my Mum striding...

...and my sister doing exactly the same thing :) They're both very determined women!

I'd also completely forgotten that I'd featured some photos of people that I'd met at Lomo Meet-ups on Lomography too. And looking through all these photos, I wasn't as scared of taking portraits as I was when I originally made my resolution list, now I'm excited to get going!
