Lomo Burritos.

I just got home from Moe's and after eating what was quite possibly the largest burrito ever made, I think I may be dying. Instead writing a long fancy post about some sweet vintage craft or trying to figure out how to take good pictures of my tiny bathroom to share with you, I'm totally copping out.

Last summer, I went to this place called "The Popcorn Zoo". It's a zoo where sick and awkward animals go to be fed popcorn and peanuts while rehabilitating. (Popcorn is low in calories, so I guess it's considered a healthy snack?). It's actually a really cute place and I had a nice time.

I took my Holga 120n and loaded it with slide film that I wouldn't send to be developed until a year later.

Here are the shots from that roll. Most of them are terrible and blurry, but I'm still learning. They have a decidedly "lo-fi" appeal. Any one of them could be an Ariel Pink album cover:

Okay, that was almost more than I can handle. I'm going to go lay on the couch, watch that show where people do those zany water logged obstacle courses, and rub my tummy. I never should have eaten that much!

Have a good night!

List: Free Photoshop Actions

I always get 3,675 comments about my photos, and I really enjoy reading every single one of them! It's fun to pretend that I have a tons of fancy SLRs and toy cameras that I use regularly. Sadly, I'm a fraud. To be completely honest, I have a cheap point and shoot that I bought at the drug store for less than $50.

This is the camera I use:

It's a Fuji Finepix A350.

Now that I've told you that, I guess I also have to tell you that I edit EVERY SINGLE SHOT in Photoshop. I'm not even that good at it. I mean I know a handful of "tricks" (that I do intend on sharing very shortly) but I mostly just use a bunch of free actions.

Here's a list of the actions I use, where you can find them and a before/after shot of each:

1. Coffee Shop's Honey Retro

2. Vintage Film Effect by Fallout_75

3. Old Toy Camera

(remove both "greyscale" and "grain" from action)

4. Fascinate Me

And that's just about it! Buy a cheap camera, and download some free actions and your photos can look just like mine (almost)!!!!!

holgaxcore.

my first two rolls came back. i have mixed emotions about the results.

i was just hoping for more of that holga magic. i'm sure i'll figure it out eventually.

you can see the rest of them on my flickr photostream.

i swear i'm knitting. i'm chugging away on the ol' log cabin blanket. i've come to point where it takes 15 minutes to finish a row :-( i never should have used cotton. oh well. it's too late now. lesson learned.
