I’m a film lover and always will be. I started on a 35mm slr when I was 13 and I’ve always had a soft spot for film. After I got my digital baby I gave up film for a while so I could master the digital world. Not to say that I’m anywhere close to mastering but I’m pretty proud of the fact I broke my first shutter last month

I got a Canon AE-1 Program as a lovely gift from my Aunt-in-law. It was her very first SLR. I took it out a month or two ago to shoot a test roll and the images came back lovely! So I wanted to bring it along for fun to see if I could get anything good out of it on an engagement shoot. It’s a manual focus. Tricky when you are shooting people. I’m pretty excited anything turned out honestly. Especially after I accidentally over exposed the whole roll. Yeah, it was pretty scary. It didn’t wind up like it should (you have to roll it manually and the end of the film popped out of the roll) so I opened it up to see what the issue was. I know, not a smart move and I realized that as soon as I did it. So I dove into the bathroom with all the lights out and rolled up the film by hand. Somehow images did turn out, although a few were more light leaky then I’d hoped. It also looks like the insides need a good cleaning, so now I just need to figure out how to take it apart.

Anywaysss on to images. Only edited for the layout and a tad bit of contrast added to some that got a little overexposed.
