What's up Bethany?

My last post was about me and Nicole's trip up to Phily to see Best Coast. This is during the show. 

These are my four favorite photos I was able to snap of Best Coast, it was my first time using my film camera at a show so I wasn't totally sure if they would all turn out or now. But the risk was worth it. They were opened by Those Darlins and DIIV (pronounced dive: as in "i want to 'dive' into the pool of mud" I used a whole roll of film up during those two performances, but somewhere between slipping the roll into my bag and coming home it vanished. I have the sinking feeling that it currently resides with the dust bunnies and 12ft ladder underneath the Union transfer stage. But if it one day miraculously turns up then I'll be sure to share those photos as well.

quite a long drive, a very long walk and a wonderful night.

This is going back to 7/16, but I finally scanned in my pictures from Me and Nicole's adventure in Philly the other week so now I'm sitting on my bed at midnight listening to Girls (the band, not actually other human girls, they're also not even girls, definitely boys, slightly misleading but very good music) I should be painting, or cleaning, or packing for college...but I'm not, I'm doing this.

Our adventures start in the car

So many spots, right outside Union Transfer too

 I made my skirt, and cut up and added embroidered detailing to the Pink Floyd shirt 

"IT WAS ALL A DREAM"

We walked for what felt like over a mile to get to Starbucks and kill some time

Waiting to get inside and see Best Coast

Pictures from the show will come later

Dawes 7/22/12

I think I'm about to post the past weeks events in a backwards order.

The other night I went to a free Dawes show at Longs Park in Lancaster with my Sister, we were sitting in chairs for most of the night, but I worked my way up to the front a few times to get these shots.

all images were taken without a flash using a vintage nikon nikkormat film slr

Into the Woods (sort of)

a small oasis located behind a popular ice cream parlor located near our houses.

all these pictures were taken with a vintage Nikon Nikkormat. Although for some reason they scanned onto my computer a lot smaller than the other rolls, and I'm not entirely sure why.

TUMBLIIN'

so, i got a tumblr to post images and quotes, of things that i see/hear that intrigue me. You can find it here.
These are some images that I found on other people's tumblrs when i searched for "vintage", and thought I'd share.

Enjoy!

getting into that whole non-digital thing

 I've recently started using my grandfathers old Nikon Nikkormat film SLR. I've just been getting the feel of it for the past week but here are some pictures from my first roll of film.
