autumn color

More Minolta pictures! Yes, I hadn't gotten film developed in a while, so it kinda built up...These were taken in the autumn when the leaves were beginning to change color and fall off the trees; the weather was starting to turn cold.  As a break from our usual Sunday routine of doing homework all day, my boyfriend and I decide to take our cameras and capture some of the fall color around campus.  We discovered some new things along the way too, like this billion year old church steeple from England tucked away in a forgotten garden...

Love Always, 
        

those little moments no. 3

Hello, again! I’m terribly sorry for that mini hiatus.  My computer decided to break during the very first week of classes, and the computer support people decided to take a whole week to fix it! It’s crazy how much I rely on my computer, especially here at school.  I finally got it back, and I’m trying to catch up on all the reading I couldn’t do, but alas I’m still behind….as usual.  So much has happened in January that I don’t even know where to begin! So, what does every overly organized and obsessive person do? Make a list! Here are the things I did in January: 

As you can see, my life has been a bit hectic, but I’m hoping it’ll slow down a bit as things start calming down which means more time for blogging! I wasn’t able to get as many diverse pictures this month as I would have hoped, but I guess being in a sorority house most of the day (and night) will limit my subjects a little.  There’s sort of a theme to this installment of those little moments.  Can you guess which sorority I’m in? Hint: we like owls (and neon).  A lot. 

food pairing

My life just got very busy all of a sudden, so as a little break from the usual photography posts, here's a little "food pairing" to get you hungry and inspire you a little.  

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

I finally got the film I used at the beach developed! These pictures were also taken with my Minolta camera while I was in Southport, North Carolina in July. Oh how I miss the warm sand, the smell of the ocean, and the feeling of reading a good book while your back gets burned by the sun and not caring. I sure do miss the carefree feeling of summer...

Love Always, 
        

mistakes

These are some of the first pictures I took using my Minolta SRT-200.  I took them while I was in North Carolina over the summer visiting my aunt and hanging out with my boyfriend.  They are definitely not the best pictures I've ever taken.  Many are out of focus. One is over exposed so there's a weird red spot on top. I'm making a not-so-pleasant face in another.  But, I think the beauty of the pictures lay in their imperfection, not in how well they were taken.  We learn from mistakes, but it's always nice to make something beautiful through those mistakes. 

Love Always, 

       

those little moments no. 2

It's the end of the month (sort of) which means a those little moments post! Because of this little project, I've found that I'm consciously taking pictures of the little things in life which sometimes makes me appreciate those ordinary memories just a little bit more.  Using pictures to document life isn't just about capturing the important times but also capturing the ordinary, normal life moments that matter so much.

Happy Birthday Flit & Fancy

I can't believe I started this blog just 1 year ago.  It was on a whim, a fancy, if you will. I'm so so proud of it. It's really turned into a hobby that I hope to keep for a long time.  Thanks everyone for your support and wonderful comments. I can't wait to continue sharing more and more adventures with you all! 

Love Always,

Decorating

My family and I decorated our Christmas tree the other day, and I just love pulling out all of our old ornaments and reminiscing.  There were ornaments from when my mom was little, to my little siblings' first Christmases.  I love to hear the stories of how we found them, or when we made them, or who gave them to us.  I think decorating the tree is my favorite part of the Christmas season just because of the wonderful time spent with family. 

Love Always,
