My Latest Experiment

I got a Holga camera for Christmas (or rather I got money on Amazon and spent it on a Holga camera), and for those of you who are unfamiliar, it is a toy film camera with plastic lens and takes 120 film.  The pictures are not meant to be perfect, but people can take fantastic pictures with this little device.  I am not anywhere near professional, and this is my first roll of film.  So, it really is just an experiment.  After that somewhat long winded disclaimer, here are some photos of Scotland :)



They are all of Stirling, which is where I spent my first week.  The castle is in the background of the first two, but I'm not sure you can see it at this size.  I haven't developed any film from Edinburgh yet, but soon!  And it will be in color!
Just for fun, here are a few more pictures.  The first one is my Meez, who I miss terribly.  The second is New Jersey woods.  And the last two are Central Park pictures with some of my favorite people.



I'm working on the light issue...
In other news, I had to workshop my poetry today in class, which was enlightening, frightening, and all together overwhelming, but very good.  I booked a trip to Dublin in two weeks, which is incredibly exciting.  I'm finally fixing my sleep patterns and remembering that I am the kind of person who loves being up early.  I've also become slightly obsessed with my quilt and the tips of my fingers are bruised and red spotted as a result (sorry if thats gross).  I'm off to meet the Baha'i Society tonight, which I'm incredibly excited about.  All in all, things are going well.

Love.
