Travel Diaries ~Three Years on Film
Over the past few years, I've been carrying around a Kodak Pocket Instamatic 20 whenever I travel. When my sister gifted me this camera a while back I was so excited as I've always loved the idea of capturing moments on film. I just got my last roll of film developed and wanted to share a few of my favorite images from it!

Bloopers
Of course with using a film camera you can't always guarantee that your photo is going to turn out exactly how you think it will. Although these photos didn't capture what I was hoping I still thought I'd share a few.
As you can see it was either way too dark out to be taking a photo, my thumb was in the frame, or I just had a terrible sense of what I could fit in one frame (Sorry Nate). I think its still a fun way to remember these moments even with their flaws.
Final Notes:
If you are getting into film photography I highly recommend The Darkroom for getting your film developed! They have always done a great job with both my and my sister's film processing.
Always enjoy your photos and sharing them with my mom
