Instax

I am aware that I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’ve been pretty busy, getting back into the swing of school, reconnecting with friends, getting behind on homework- I’m sure most of you know the drill. 

I can honestly say that I have been busy in the absolute best kind of way. Last weekend I went to a winter retreat with some of my best friends in the entire world. I know that’s kind of a cliche thing to say- but they really are. It’s great seeing them- but in a way it kind of sucks because I realize how boring my life can be without them sometimes. Not to say I don’t fully love my friends nearby, but it’s exceedingly nice being around people who know me, and love me, and for the most part just think I’m great. It’s true. At Tall Oaks (the place I went on that retreat) it’s impossible to count the number of people I love, and who love me. It is such an awesome, open and caring environment. I wish I could live with those guys year round. I totally feel like I can be myself, and hardly anyone gives me a hard time for it. :) I will share a few pictures from last weekend:

These girls are beautiful and hilarious. Love them so so much.

A lot of people don’t know this about me, but I love dressing up. And I love anyone who will go all out with  me. We had an 80s dance and I think we worked it out.

This picture is silly and unflattering, but boy do I look happy. Pretty much my expression all weekend. :)

Another thing I have been having fun with lately is my new camera- a Fuji Instax Mini. It takes little credit card sized photos, which are so much fun!! I’m really bad about printing pictures, so it has been great having instant, tangible photos around. Mostly I’ve just been taking goofy pictures with my friends, but I think I’ll start experimenting with it more soon. It might make some appearances in my upcoming sessions!!

Me and Andrew :)

Raven and Kurt

Some girls in my drawing class

I thought a retro bike would go well with a retro camera

My fridge- which will soon become even more covered with these shots :)

I know these are silly- but I’m really loving having candid shots of my friends. I think someday I’ll really enjoy having these to look back on.

Until next time,
Brooke
