flickr favorites

i spend a lot of time in flickr looking at neat pictures and drawings these are a few of my favorite:

I'm going psycho.

I'm expecting my Smena 8m camera and I'm seriously getting desperate.  I know it has only pass like a week and it comes all the way from Russia so it will take 20 days or something like that, but I really want it now! Every time I hear the mailman's bus or the horn I run and creep through the window.  Seriously it's turning into a thriller. 

While I'm not being a total weirdo I look on the internet for tips and reviews of my new acquisition. I also checked my old pictures from my fisheye to remind me how much I love film.

Instax Mini

I guess this week it's all about photography because I keep bumping into photo related things while surfing the internet.  Maybe I'm becoming a little obsessed.  Well let's stop the babbling and get right to the chase; if that makes any sense…

For a while now I've been looking for albums for my FUJIFILM Mini Instant Camera pictures.  I have lots of pictures on a sad box under my bed and they really need a new comfortable and safe place.  I really don't know how I ended up here but this website, MochiThings.com offers different options for your mini photos.  

The first one, in no particular order, is the Mini Polaroid Album Stand. It can fit up to 68 pictures and it looks really cool; you can change the pictures when a new day comes. If you like that check also this one.

Second one: Instax Mini Decoration Set.

Yes, I know what you are thinking: "I CAN DO THAT!".  I thought the same thing.  This one inspired me to start a new project. The cost  is $9.95 for only seven frames, seven color wood clips and braid.  For that same price I bet you can double the frames or what the heck, maybe even more.  (I'm putting this on my to-do-list).  But if you are tight on time or just lazy you can still buy them over here. 

Third One: Apple Green Mini Polaroid Frame 

First of all I'm not a big fan of color green, like my sister, but I love how this frame looks because of the Apple Green Color.  This is a great idea for displaying your favorite picture at your office desk or by a night stand.  The best part: It's a magnetic frame and photo board.  They also sell apart different magnet frames that you can easily swap for a new picture with a different color.

Last one: Instax Mini Polaroid Album v2

If you are just looking for a simple and stylish album this one is for you.  It can fit 64 instax and it comes with a card so you can label your album.

I still can't decide which one I like.  If you want to check their variety just click here. 

Crazy b.

Today I took some pictures of Mona, the crazy b. lab. Sometimes she's so lazy and other times insane. But always posing for pictures. What a model, I think she likes it.

I don't like Mondays!

Yeah, I know. It's almost Tuesday. Remember that I told you I did some new things? Well here they are…and they are up for sale. Since summer it's swiftly approaching and I love nautical things I had to do these pretty flowers with stripe fabric and anchor buttons. They turned out quite lovely. I also did a purse but I need to fix it up before showing it off. So get your sailor dress and remember summer's hot, better get this cool accessories on your hair.

Remember?

Wow! I hate that I had a completely nice entry in my mind and suddenly forgot about it the moment I started to type. Yes, it just happened. I need some memory pills. Well I think my entry was about my beautiful pink lomography camera. I posted a picture of it almost a month ago. I remember how much I used that camera and the love that I had (and still have) for it. It went with me everywhere, that baby even went to Europe! Suddenly one day the batteries drained literally and it fucked up everything. It also has the shutter and the wheel damaged. I'm planning on buying a new one! But for now enjoy some of the greatest moment with my pink camera.

Yeah that's me at Parque del Retiro in Madrid, Spain.

My minga ( I don't know how they are called in english but that's the head they use to practice haircuts and hair dyes). Yes I know, she IS creepy.

The Roman coliseum: may I say that it is fantastic? When we were in the taxi arriving to Rome we couldn't believe what we saw. It is incredible.

A bathroom in Brooklyn, NYC. I had to take the picture, so many tags!

My house's balcony. It was a really bright sunny day.

Some weird ghetto Spongebob at Brussels, it was so random & funny.

Ocean Park beach (Puerto Rico, where I am from). And yes I don't know why we were drinking Fosters, oh now I remember it was pretty cheap and big.

Amsterdam. I'm in love with the canals and the fact everyone rides a bike.

The airplane. So many instructions…If one day I have to followed them I'm fucked.

El Morro, San Juan, PR. Another sunny day!

By the way this is my lomography page! Do you have one? Share it!

Instant Photography

One thing that I really love is instant photography. A little story: when I was little my grandfather had a Polaroid camera which he used to take pics of the whole family. I have some of myself when I was a very cute baby.

A few years ago I bought a Polaroid camera on eBay and bought film on Walgreens when they used to sell it. I took a bunch of pictures every time I would hangout with my friends. All of them are kept on a box with the camera. I stopped using it because the film got pretty expensive and couldn’t find it anywhere but eBay, which made me very very sad.

Later I discovered that Fujifilm was selling an instant camera similar as the Polaroid but the pictures were credit card size. I couldn’t resist and bought it right away with a lot of film. I took pictures of everything and even brough it to a trip to New York City.

The other day I found this cute little bag for my mini instax that I’m planning to buy soon with lots & lots of instant film.

I also found this Holga lens adapter that of course will be mine too. I love this kind of cameras because I have the picture right away and let’s face it you never know how you’re going to look.

What about you? Do you love instant film as much as I do? Any good pictures you have taken?
