Yesterday we celebrated the holiday weekend with friends in St. Pete. It rained, it sunned, Erik dove off a moving boat after our new dog jumped overboard. We boated. Here’s a few scenes from the day, all taken by Nate…
Happy 4th of July!
Scenes from our new place, at midnight…
I can’t wait to see how you decorate your new home for the Holidays! you are sooo talented! Remember,I still have a lot of decorations( that you are welcome to) if you can use them in your new place…
I have always had a fondness for the Gulf and Ft. Desota Park area, as you well know it is one of the most pristine beaches in all of Fl!The place we took you to on numerous occasions. I can only say there should have been some pictures of you! Bye the bye, the dog is really cute!her “Indian name” should be “one sock” for the part white foot, or maybe “three white toes”.
Ha, ha!
cool idea! I love the midnight theme.
Thanks guys! I had fun working on this mini project. They were all taken at the same time about midnight in our new place.
What a creative way to showcase your new place. So – was this half art and half it was midnight before you got time to take photos?
The first three are my favourites. The light seems to be fighting back the darkness, against overwhelming odds.
Beautiful photos, as always.
Film | Yashica D Twin Lens Reflex
Nate has taken to collecting old film cameras. For the last few holidays, his family has helped him out by tracking down some really cool old machines as well as various accessories and parts and then gifting them to him. For Christmas, Nate received a Yashica D Twin Lens Reflex camera. They were made from 1957-1973 in the Rolleicord style. Since both Nate and I learned photography on digital cameras, it’s been really fun to learn how to use these film cameras (and keep our fingers crossed that they still work, and that we don’t ruin all the film).
These were taken on two different rolls of film during our recent road trip through the southeast. The images below were taken in Atlanta and on the beach in Charleston. I have been holding out on diving into film because I feel a bit over my head with it and I feel bad ruining film but these images from the Yashica have completely stolen my heart. We did nothing to them except resize them for the blog and add a watermark. No editing was done at all except removing one dirt smudge from the last frame. No color correction, no toning, no cropping. Just look at the gorgeous tones in these frames. The gorgeous square format. I’m a believer. I can’t wait to play more with this and our other antiques…
Our favorite film used so far, Kodak Ektar 100. Such a pretty toning naturally…
This one was our favorite shot of our friend and road-trip buddy, Philipe…
That second shot was a mistake while learning how to advance the film… But it turned out really cool to look at…
These last two were from a separate roll of slide film. These two of Atlanta make me swoon…
All of these images were taken by Nate on our Yashica D Twin Lens Reflex camera.

Impressive!
I love the soft-crisp-soft focus of the first shots, digital media is wonderful, but sometimes you can’t beat old school cameras. These images have a special quality to them, they make me nostalgic, overall the last two, maybe it is the big city girl in me.
The Atlanta pictures really make me miss home! Beautiful!
That last ones awesome! We’ll be in O-town Monday night =) I can’t believe the wedding here already!
You guys got a dog!!!!!???
