The Better Ones & An Ending

As it has been nearly forever and a day since I have last visited here with intention to post, I thought I should finish the year out responsibly. Thankfully, a few rolls of recently developed film from my summer pet project {actual film photography via my vintage/refurbished minolta XG 1 camera}, I have a bit more meat this time than the typical literary blurb and corresponding image. 

Be gently dear reader...I am still as of yet a freshling to this film venture...

 

Here are the better of my first fruits:

And unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given...

Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high,
And cheer us by your drawing nigh,
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Oh, bid our sad divisions cease,
And be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

p.s. Merry Christmas to all. ♥

The Stuff of Childhood || Thumbelina

Over the holiday break, while spending time with loved ones, I had a chance to relive my young childhood by re-watching the animated tale of Thumbelina. 

And yes, I did spend the whole rest of the day sneaking up and singing "Let Me Be Your Wings" in many a family member's ear.

I challenge anyone to watch said movie with out doing the same at least once. 

Here are a few stills I caught just for funnzies.
Enjoy the artsy, grainy, kitchy mess:

Happy post-Thanksgiving Holiday/Black Friday shopping!

Went on Holiday to California...

...and all I came back with is this stupid picture of a Lion doorknob...

{he looks...cowardly}

Had a lovely time visiting long lost/loved family.

It was a sweet respite before the onset of classes.

Only three days left.

Bring.

It.
