summer can end now

each summer, my husband's family assembles at their 100 year old camp in the adirondacks to enjoy however long they are able to break free from normal life in a quiet, cool, mostly off the grid, lakeside paradise. it's literally the most magical place on earth. i am so lucky to get to share in this summer tradition. i look forward to it all year. it's one of the few things about summer that truly makes me happy. also, since we go in late july it also signals the end of summer... which makes me even happier!

two years ago, we flew up to camp the day after i found out i was pregnant. i was completely panicked and very tired the whole time. last year, we drove from NC to NY with a four month old baby and barely left camp. this year, our sixteen month old enjoyed running around and playing with her not too distant cousins and we actually got to enjoy some swimming/boating/swanning time... we even went into town one night on an adult dinner outing with matt's two cousins and their husbands!

i just put a lot of 120mm film photos from our trip on my 2017 photography page... while doing that, i realized i left out an entire roll of b&w film from may that i recently had developed! i'll get on updating that soon. check out the photos here --> http://tylre.com/film-2017

film update

had my second and third rolls of 120mm (for 2017) developed while on a road trip with my mom over the past two weeks. these rolls were actually a little discouraging... i liked a higher percentage of shots from the first roll. i've gotten out of bed a few times to snap a picture at the end of the day, just because i set this picture every day expectation for myself. and some of those snaps were total crap. i felt it on the current roll, which i haven't even seen yet (oh god), and i felt it more when i saw the results from the rolls i got developed! so... anyway... learning things! at this point i've missed two days. i'm not sure right now if i want to continue trying to take a photo every day as forced practice, or try to be a little more selective about it. while i make up my mind i'll keep taking a photo every day. it will be easier now that our road trip is over and i have access to all my stuff at all times!

here are some of the photos from the colour roll that i liked. i'll update the running log page over the weekend and include shots from the my b&w snow day walk! hope you like these as much as i do.
