… and Bear (because he is cute). So I have been playing with some new film. All of these photos were taken on our Pentax K1000 with a fixed 50mm lens. I do have another lens for this camera but honestly, I rarely use it. I like the simplicity of the fixed focal length. When
Here is a little bit of a sneak-peek from our trip to Orcas Island earlier this summer. I will post more as I have time. Despite the time it takes to get there I would 100% go back in a heartbeat. Orcas is one of the San Juan Island. To get there: fly into Seattle,
