Last August, my sister and I were enjoying what we love. Thrifting. On our way to the register, we both spotted a Canon camera in a Ziploc bag. If I didn’t buy it for $20, she was going to. So I bought it. what a steal!
A digital camera with two different lenses, a nice shoulder/neck strap, and its original user manual? What a bargain!
It was all that but digital. It was your classic 35mm camera. Still, for $20 I bet I could utilize this just fine.
So I spent a small fortune on the film and tried it out. The joy in NOT knowing if your picture actually captured what you wanted?! Exhilarating! And slightly depressing knowing how much you spent on that film, and more depressing to think about what it might cost to get said film developed.
Back in the day, you’d bring it to Walmart or your local drugstore, pay for the prints, and wait a week to pick them up.
Today, you choose a website (m-pix for me), pay almost $12 per roll (jeez), send it in (find the correct sized envelope, tape on the mailing label after dragging your printer out of storage) and wait a week to get them back via email.
But the journey into film land has been worth it.
While I search for film money in couches, old stored-away jackets, and my husband’s wallet, and once I get through the lengthy process of ordering and receiving them, I’ll share more.
In the meantime, enjoy some of my favorites.
I gotta save up my money for the next 35mm I buy, and once I get through the lengthy process of ordering and receiving them, I’ll share more.

These are really really good. My favorite is the grass in the foreground. And I’m still jealous you bought that instead of me lol 😂

Thank you for the compliment on the pictures! I can loan the camera to you, but you’d have to cover the cost of film and such. Hahaha.
