Coming Next Week!

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye: Roll #2

Did I mention that I can't get enough of this?
Oh yeah. I did already.

:)

Here is my first color roll.
Some of them didn't quite turn out.
I'm still trying to figure out how to expose them
properly without the crutch of digital.
It's tough! But I love it.

Nothing good ever came easy, right?

*by the way, notice the paper on the bench right next to me?
It's my next photo project! You'll love it!
Once again I was inspired by my fav photo newsletter::HERE
I'll be posting about it next week. . .

Illustrator 101

I'm having a blast with my Illustrator 101 class!
I have learned to so much
(I still have a loooong way to go)
& I can't wait to start working on a few projects.
For now check out some of my homework.
All of the images have helped me learn some of the basic tools so far.
Go easy on me, they are simple!

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye: Inaugural Run

I got my film back today!
It was just like Christmas waiting for it to get developed.
All the images are untouched.
I need to practice my film skills but for a first try
I really love how they turned out.
I have a color roll in now &
it will be so fun to see how they come out.
I think I'm hooked on the brownie. . .
