2. Air

This is the first ever double exposure I took with my Holga - 6 years ago now.  I doubt I could ever replicate it again even if I tried.  I love looking at it again and again though - it reminds me of how very excited I was to have a film camera and how truly exciting using a film camera can be.

The August Break

Yup, its  August tomorrow - somehow?! I have no idea how! But that means its Susannah Conway's The August Break time and I'm excited!! 

I thought about not taking part this year and catching up with the rest of the photos that I just got developed but then I decided that actually a break from worrying about blogging might be just what I need right now - and I always love using The August Break to share older photos that are just floating around the archives of my Flickr and this blog...  I have over 6,000 photos taken with film now - its easy to forget about some of them.

So here's the list of prompts! I love the idea of it being mindful pleasures - I've been trying so hard with my mindfulness practice (and honestly, mostly not succeeding ha) and I'm looking forward to this focus during the month with my instagram photos.

Will you be taking part in Susannah's challenge this year? How do you like to participate?  

Don't forget to read Susannah's post about it and sign up to the blogroll!

Filey

As is usual with the weather here - you wouldn't really think it was Summer right now! I'm sulking a little about it but at the same time, now seems like  a good time to share some atmospheric photos of Filey.

One thing I love about the beach is that its wonderful at any time of the year (even in the snow!) - the atmosphere, the sound of the crashing waves, the smell of the air - you can't beat it!
