All Me to Reintroduce Myself My Blog

It’s occurred to me that it’s been so long since I’ve had film developed ($$$) and blogged about it that there may be people who know me now but don’t know that I’ve had this blog since 2009! So I wanted to come back and say hi.

In making this post, I have to say something more personal than usual:

My mom passed away in January of this year.

She was my biggest supporter. Mom was the hype man for her kids. I can go back and look at the comments she’s made about my blog posts, and those feel bittersweet now. It’s been hard to go forward, but I know she wouldn’t be pleased if I didn’t keeping doing things I (and she) enjoyed, like making photos and baking.

Looking through the posts I’ve shared in the past, I feel like Mom is everywhere here.

All that to say: I’m getting film developed. I have a new little digital camera that I’ve been playing around with. I am going to try to start blogging again. And it’s all for you, Mom.

 

 

 

{No Time Like The Present} Yashica T4, 2019/20

These photos were taken at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020, during the last few months of being able to go places and do things before the pandemic. Unlike most of my other “No Time Like the Present,” I actually had a pretty good idea about what was on this roll before getting if developed since it wasn’t from three years earlier 😂

{No Time Like the Present} Canon Sure Shot Sleek, 2019

I don’t really have a detailed explanation of this “No Time Like the Present” post, of photos taken in 2019 on my Canon Sure Shot Sleek. It’s just a random assortment of pictures from that year!
