Developing film for the first time!

Tuesday, May 12, 2015

So, as you guys saw in my previous post here, I got a new film camera! I've been messing with it here and there. Well, I honestly didn't realize (this is going to make me seem like an idiot) that you are supposed to change the ASA dial, which is for exposure. It's honestly one of the dumbest moments I've had in a while, why was I expecting it to be automatic?? Hahaha. Anyways, I had it set to 400 cos that's what the film is. So some photos came out okay, and others..not so much. Oh well! I was shocked for the most part that you could see any of my photos!

Here are the photos that made the cut-I was going to edit them, but I wanted you to see what they look like 100% untouched. I scanned them onto my computer using my Canon Pixma MX452!

I love the feeling of physically holding my photos. This one is blurry and the exposure isn't the best-but this day will forever be a favorite.
 I'm also incredibly stoked that my camera even works hahah, cos until now, I've been pretty unsure!
You can't see very much in the photo above, but its from a picnic my family and I went on. Olivia threw up on her clothes so I had to put my top on her (which is why its tied in the back) and wear a different one.
I'm really happy with this photo! 
This one is obviously from getting pho.
Last one from the museum, I absolutely loved this exhibit.
Just kidding! This one was taken from the museum window.
I know Jose took the one of me, but I can't remember if I took the one of Olivia or if he did. 


Don't laugh too hard at how terrible these came out-I'm sorta proud of them! It could have been a lot worse hahah. I've already taken 4 on my new roll with the ASA set to 400 but now that I know better, the next 20 should be in better condition, I can't wait to share them with you!

Saturday in Dallas!

Thursday, April 23, 2015

So this Saturday we went to Dallas. Mostly cos Jose had to pick up an amp he bought a month before. We decided to make the trip worthwhile and do something fun.

We picked up my friend Carrie and stopped at sonic to get some food, we waited and waited and everyone around us was getting their food and driving off. So we eventually drove around to the drive thru and explained what happened and ended up getting our entire meal free! It was pretty nice.

I'm a creature of habit. Mainly because when I do finally try something new, its terrible. 
When I try a new dish at a restaurant it's nasty. When I take a different route, I get lost. Something always happens. So I get super nervous with trying new things. 
Well I had seen sooo many people posting photos of Pho and I had to have it. 
This was the same day we went to the Perot Museum (you can find that post here)!

Terrible photo from the car.

I got the chicken noodle, Jose got the beef noodle, and Carrie got the seafood noodle. It was ah-mazing. I can't wait to go back! Not to mention, the boba. *insert heart eyes emoji*


The photos themselves aren't beautiful, I was more worried about enjoying my food, honestly!
We went to Pho Pasteur, it was super cute and very authentic feeling. We obviously used chopsticks and the menu was in Vietnamese.

After Pho Pasteur we went to guitar center! So Jose could pick up his amp.

You can see the clouds behind the building in this photo! Luckily we just missed the rain as we were heading home.
I am personally not the first to volunteer to drive in Dallas. It scares me and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm the type of driver other people have to watch out for haha. But I sure do love staring out the window while Jose drives.

Hope you guys have a good Wednesday!

Perot Museum!

Tuesday, April 21, 2015

So I decided to turn this little Dallas trip into two sections. One of nothing but photos from going to Perot and the other one will be from the rest of our day in Dallas! 
This museum was...AMAZING. We had so much fun! 
I haven't been to a museum since like middle school and I was beyond excited. The trip was supposed to be for Olivia...but I think us adults were way more excited. 

As soon as we got there they had these little instruments outside.

We decided it would be best to let Olivia run around in the kids exhibit before we went to the exhibits we wanted to go to. 
In her exhibit they had so many cute little sections. She got to climb the Dallas skyline, go up and down stairs by herself, pretend she was camping, color on a chalk table, pretend to grocery shop, and honestly just run around like she didn't have anyone chasing after her. 

This was taken in the tent.
The smallest park ranger you ever did see!
This is the chalk table!
We took a shameless family bathroom selfie.
The next exhibit was the dinosaur!
After running around little Liv took a nap and we got to run around the rest of the museum!
Dinos!
Another selfie.
We were laughing incredibly hard because the first panoramic photo that Jose took made us look a little...funny hahah. You can only imagine.
These gems were so mesmerizing. I honestly just couldn't stop thinking about how much the amethyst must have cost.
 My lovely husband got a photo of me snapping a photo with my new film camera!
You guys know I had to get a photo of mushrooms!
By this time the museum was starting to close so we decided to go outside!
So...as soon as we got to the museum, we passed this little area and we immediately knew Olivia would have a blast. 
I promise we tried to keep her from going crazy...but we couldn't keep this sweet girl from having the time of her life.

Don't worry, we packed extra clothes for her and her hair dried up right away!
There are about 50 more photos from this trip but I like to keep those just for myself. >:)
It's hard to enjoy things while also capturing every moment. And I'm totally up for every challenge I get. I didn't get very many photos of each exhibit cos of the lens I brought(50mm) so that's why most of these are close ups of us hahah. Anyways, hope you enjoyed these photos of us enjoying the museum!
