Instagram in the '50s

So with my new iPad mini for Christmas, I have vowed myself to blog a lot more often! Watch this space and you can hold me to that. Gulp, no pressure. I'm beyond in love with my iPad, and so to start off I want to show you a few past time pictures. Obviously I really don't want to be boring you with old family snaps.. but these pictures are from film slides my Auntie got developed as a Christmas present for my Nan and Grandad. And what I love most is the quality and mood of these beautiful prints. 

They almost look like Instagram snaps, how stunning does my Nan look?!

Model like! Love the vintage feel of these photos

The sort of photo you'd see on a comical birthday card right

Those cars. Love

Dancing queen

Sisterly love. My mum sharing a kiss with her sister, so adorable!

This ones my favourite.. Nan and Grandad by the sea

I wish they hadn't of sold their film camera, I'd do anything to be able to take shots like these! 

iPhonegraphy infatuation

I probably don't go a day without taking a photo on my phone. Actually to be honest I probably don't go an hour..
 Whether it be for humour aspects (ugly mug shots of my double chinned friends), selfies (vain..), quirky interesting things I see on my day to day travels or if I'm taking a photo for genuine photographic purposes. This evening my Mum genuinely gave me a lecture about how I'm on my phone too much, texting 24/7 or scrolling through Twitter and Insta feeds. It's true, perhaps I am on my phone a wee bit much but digital media is too ADDICTIVE! It's about to get a whole lot worse when I get my iPad mini.. oops. One of the main reasons I want to get an iPad is so that I can blog a lot more, so in the near future expect a whole host-of-posts!

Being the internet fanatic that I am, I follow a lot of iPhoneographers on social media and a Facebook post by Ade Santora lead me to this video of a Flickr group showreel. These were all shot using mobile phones - who needs studios, flash guns and hefty DSLRs? Love these black and white shots!
