Eh.

Don't judge. 

It was my first try.

And the film was expired. 

The sad thing is that I tried to write down all the settings I used for each shot, and now I can't quite figure out which is which. Ugh. Oh well. I'm just going to have to let go and have fun with it. I did learn a few things though:

• I need to hold still while shooting!
• This camera needs a lot of light. 
• I need interesting things to shoot instead of just wandering around my yard in order to test things out.:)

I doubt that I will have any time this week to test out another roll before I leave for Vietnam, so I guess I will just wing it. I have 5 more rolls of expired film that I'm just going to use up. Whatev. I will probably buy a few new rolls, but I don't have a ton of money at the moment.

5 more days until I leave!!!!!

Isn't she lovely?

Well, isn't she?

I have always LOVED square format photos. I can't explain why; I just do. So, despite my loathing of all things associated with hipsterdom, I've decided to give it a try with this pretty little thang. I don't expect to unleash any hidden genius or anything. I just want to explore something new. Fun photo times! 

I baked a cake!

Not the best of pictures, but you get the idea.

No, I don't have any delusions of turning this into a baking blog.:) I just wanted to share the fact that I tried something that I had wanted to try for a very long time. There is something about a layered cake that just makes me so happy! They are so classic. They represent hospitality, warmth, and thoughtfulness to me. This particular cake did not turn out amazing, but it was certainly still edible. Tasty even! I look forward to many more baking adventures!
