My New Hobby
i have recently taken up film photography (which i completely blame on tumblr). now, i realize my photos aren’t particularly spectacular or anything, and usually involve a fair amount of fingers-blocking-the-lens or are too dark and gritty to fathom, but hey i’m only just starting. it’s quite an expensive hobby, too, so i don’t know how often i’ll be doing it. but i’ve collected a couple handful of decent-enough-shots that i’m excited to share with you guys in the coming days. (:
PS
my current weapons of choice are a yashica mf-2 and an adorable little super sampler (the one responsible for the four-shot photos) — both borrowed from my friend charls, who is pictured above with his nikon d-90.

I have a yashica too, though a different model. it's with my uncle now. I have a few photos taken using it, and this post of yours reminds me of my good old days with film photography! 🙂

@fashioneggplant: Nope, I got their digital version from the film-developing place. (:

I love the four shot photos! I've been meaning to get a film camera but it can get expensive in the long run and I have yet to learn how to use one. How I wish I took up some classes!
