Double exposure taken with Minolta SRT Super on February 19, 2012.
This is an accidental double exposure, and I just absolutely love how this picture looks like it was taken 50 years ago. (Maybe Kyle needs to change his hairstyle, eh? 
)
Taken February 11, 2012 with Canon AE-1.
To add to the effect, play The Civil Wars’ Tracks in the Snow in the background.
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
Triple exposure taken with my "new" 35mm Minolta SRT Super on February 19, 2012.
Check it out – an accidental triple exposure! These three photos were taken last Sunday at a local park – it had just snowed in Salt Lake so a few of us headed out to go sledding.
I knew I was eager to see what my “new” Minolta could do, but discovering this happy accident was a delightful surprise. Interestingly, I do remember a few times throughout the roll where advancing the film seemed a bit “off” – little did I know multiple exposures would be a result of that. Upon further investigation of the camera, I have come to the conclusion that they resulted because of my own incomplete advancement of each frame. Depending on how you look at it, the fact that you are able to take another picture without fully advancing the film to the next frame (in comparison to the Canon AE-1, which does not allow one to trigger the shutter if the film has not been fully advanced) could be the photographer’s dream or greatest nightmare. As an experimental photography-hobbyist, I couldn’t be happier with this so-called “malfunction.” Of course, I might never know if this is truly a malfunction, if the camera was originally built this way, or if it has lost some of its functioning capability after nearly 40 years of existence.
It was last week that I developed this roll, along with two others, at the university’s photo lab. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting at least one photo from these rolls on my blog per (week)day. They will not be edited in any way, shape, or form. Hope you enjoy them!
I dunno, I think I might be falling in love with blogging again… (said in a playful-yet-questionable-yet-sarcastic tone) I mean, this is my second post today (“whaaaa?” – ah, the beauty of scheduling posts for the future ). I’ll blame my re-discovered enthusiasm on recent “followers,” “likers,” and “commenters.” (Yes, I’m talking to YOU!)
Today is Thanksgiving. (Well, actually, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, seeing as how I wrote this “yesterday”…) I should be in San Francisco with my family by now (although there is still a chance we got abducted), and y’all should be sitting in your nice, warm, cozy homes enjoying the smells or tastes of a traditional (or non-traditional) Thanksgiving dinner. I must admit: I’m jealous; the thought of my mouth missing out on the scrumptious elements of this annual meal – the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, STUFFING (in all-caps to show that STUFFING is my FAVORITE), cranberry sauce, finger veggies, and pumpkin pie – was the one reason I almost decided against this trip. This goes to show how bad my wanderlust is.
Irregardless (oh wait, that isn’t a real word), I thought I would still share some pictures with you. These pictures happen to be taken on Thanksgiving Day in 2008 and 2010. (Don’t ask where 2009 went).

One thing’s for sure: I’m going to miss this this year. Perhaps we’ll find a good restaurant in San Francisco that is serving turkey dinner.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I know I already blogged today, so don’t mark me as spam!
With all the hype about this blizzard going on here in Salt Lake City, I thought I would step outside to take some photos of it’s product.

Ice pool?
And my favorite:
AND! This photo actually invoked emotion in my mom!
[You might wonder why I'm telling you this...]
She doesn’t come off as the observant-type; she sees my photos, but she doesn’t actually see them.
So for her to say, “I don’t like it, it’s very lonely.” quite frankly made me extremely happy!
(Thanks Mom, now I’ll expect a comment from you on every single photo I take.)
To all: be careful out there tomorrow!
It was a cold one today – kind of unexpected, since I don’t watch the weather report, but fortunately I happened to wear three layers, so it wasn’t too bad.
After finishing my midterm, I stepped out for a break; to my dismay, it was snowing outside.
I mean it’s not like that wasn’t unexpected, but it suddenly dawned on me that it is November.
November.
I remember January like it was yesterday (same weather and all!) – you’re telling me it’s November?
[Insert cliche phrase regarding 'time' here]
Before I left my house for the day, I saw my camera – it was sitting on the coffee table, alone and exposed.
It glared (literally) up at me and wondered, “Why aren’t you holding me?”
So, decided to bring him along for the day. [This is the first time I'm assigning a gender to my camera. I would call myself more of a feminist but somehow I feel that it's a boy.]
Don’t ask me why I don’t usually bring it to school with me, because I could not tell you.
What I do know is that I should get used to it, because sometimes (…a lot of the time) I have missed out on great photographic moments.
The snow didn’t stop in the six hours I was on campus.
Done for the day, I started towards my car, and I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful it actually was.
Although the ground was lightly covered in white, there were still some fall colors out and about – it seemed as though the weather even snuck-up on the trees and plants.
Had they disregarded the forewarning?
Is even nature reluctant to change?
Change is hard (I would know), but is sometimes a necessary (and beautiful) process.
