Christmas on the Farm

Wandering around my in-laws' farm in North Carolina.

The Family Farm

My husband grew up on a 280 acre farm in North Carolina.  Here are some photos I took while we were visiting the in-laws last week.  {Using my Rolleiflex TLR and Kodak Ektar 100 film}

Very quiet out there, especially compared to our lives in Chicago! 

P.S. The farm in the winter snow.

Golden Hour

My nephew loves the waves.  Taken with my Rollei TLR and Kodak Portra 800 film.

Beach at Dusk

After the blazing midday, after the sunset, after the golden hour.  Dusk.

Captured with my Rolleiflex TLR and Kodak Portra 800 film at around 8:30 p.m.

I enjoy evenings and nights on the beach because the bright midday sun always burns my skin.

p.s. Loving the beach polaroids by Gabrielle Kai.

Beach Polaroids

Last week, I visited my family in North Carolina and we spent a few days at Carolina Beach.  I brought along my Polaroid Land Camera, which captured the blue colors very well with Fuji film.

Unfortunately, the peel apart film was messy to use on the windy beach and the prints got covered in sand. You can see where brushing the sand off lifted the emulsion in spots.  Afterward, I realized that leaving the sand on and displaying the prints in a shadow box frame would have made a fun statement about the tactile nature of film.  Next time!
