What I did on my summer vacation, by Stephanie

I took six (yes, six!) film cameras on vacation with me.  The pics below were shot on my dad's old Mnolta X-700, a Diana 120, a Soligor 45, and a Recesky TLR.  We went to Mexico and the Bahamas and had a blast with the fam!

Here's a few from the Mayan ruins at Dzibilchaltun outside of Progreso, Mexico.  This is the Minolta here, and I love that every picture it takes has such a vintage 70s flavor.  The tourist shot is the most post-card looking photo I've ever taken!

And some random shots from Nassau and Freeport, Bahamas and a couple from Cozumel, Mexico:

Through the looking glass...

Took an aquarium trip with an Argus brick 135 and a Recesky TLR 135.  The slow, manual focus meant that the vast majority of what I shot was blurry or boring, but in the end I think the images I did get were worth all the trial and error!

Waterlogged!

Spent a week with the fam and shot 7 rolls of 135 and one roll of 120.  But, I also picked up a Vivitar 8400 underwater digi cam for pool time with the nieces and nephews.  As much as I love film, the instant gratification factor of digital is pretty amazing!

Underwater is FUN!  More vacay pics to come after they develop!  :)
