A little healing...

Even though I still had posts on here last week (WP's scheduled posting is better than Blogger's) I actually spent the majority of last week in bed sick with Flu. It sucked. But this week is a new week and my first act to feeling better was taking my time walking to work, enjoying some sunshine (even if it was freezing) and snapping some quick photos on my phone.

I've taken photos of this walk a million times* but I realised this time last year (as part of Susannah Conway's Photo Meditations) that it was my way of letting go before having to deal with work. In looking at things that are familiar differently, perhaps I can learn to do the same with everything else that's happening around me too. Or perhaps, when everything hits the fan, I just like a bit of familiarity... I don't know. Either way, I feel a bit better.

The last of the Ektar Whitby photos...

So I may have already ordered another few rolls of this film, as I absolutely adore it already. I'm so glad that I tried it (even if I should really have tried it sooner) as I feel that its going to be one of my favourites for a while.

These are the last photos I took with this film around Whitby after our journey on the train, I posted all my post cards (and some gifts) from the Post Office, I thought it was so cute! I also loved the men rowing the boat across the harbour, I'm glad that I caught them next to the other rowing boats too, hurray.

Even though its been well over a month since we in Whitby, I'm still loving these photos, I hope you're still enjoying seeing them too.

Whitby Abbey in Portra

I've already posted some photos of Whitby Abbey taken with Lomography ISO 400 film and my Double Dip camera which were so colourful that its almost amazing to believe that these were taken on the same day at the same time...

Whitby Abbey seemed to have so much character and I love that my different cameras have managed to catch the different aspects of the Abbey, these photos in particular seem to capture the spookier aspect of the Abbey that inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula (see what I did there, today being Halloween, haha).
