I Like The Film

Hello there. I have a story for you guys.
Once upon a time, I found my dad's old Pentax in the basement, but the light meter was blown. Tear. But my dad didn't want me to miss out on how fun film can be in the age of digital. So I ended up with a Pentax K1000, also known as "my bebe".
Anywho, over the summer, I shot like twelve consecutive rolls of film, and just got them developed a couple of weeks ago. And scanned, for that matter. But now I can share some snippets with you guys. Hope you like them as much as I do.
I'm off to do a photoshoot with a friend today, I will update with pictures from that later!
So much love, do something unexpected this weekend, and SMILE its Friday!

Shake It

So I have something to tell you guys.
This picture is how I feel about country music except times 10.
Sometimes it gets weird not gonna lie.
But you know what, I live in the South, I like pick up trucks, and its time to admit this to the world.
For your listening pleasure, here's some country to make your day better. YOU KNOW YOU LIKE IT.

Shake It For Me- Luke Bryan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HX4SfnVlP4)
If I Die Young- The Band Perry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NJqUN9TClM&ob=av3e)
Honey Bee- Blake Shelton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZjosn2u1gA&ob=av3e)
Honky Tonk Badonkadonk- Trace Adkins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNuenYfSNaU)
Deeper Than A Holler- Randy Travis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk4vSh9bd7M)
Whiskey Lullaby- Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZbN_nmxAGk&ob=av3e)

Also, fun fact, I sang with Alison Krauss for a show of hers when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Thats right, I just said that.
Hope your weekends wonderful, sweet friends
Love,
Maren
