A Few Golden Half Photos


Wednesday April 20, 2011   

Developed some film this weekend from my Golden Half. First set are a few snaps from when the cherry blossoms were blooming a few weekends ago.

Followed by some from a visit I made to my hometown in November. It’s a very small city on the coast of Mississippi. My entire family still lives near or around there. Sometimes I think it’s a place where little changes.


Despite her expression, this is INDEED a real cat! This cat is the craziest cat of all the cats my family has ever had!

This is my Dad’s cat. She’s super mellow and sweet. He named her “DC” because they got her soon after I moved out here :drops:


I get really nostalgic for these sunsets sometimes.
I do miss living on a coast now & again.
I miss boat life :)

I really love my Golden Half.
It’s my favorite Toy Camera amongst my Holga135 and Fisheye2 cameras. :deco8: I think my Fisheye2 is breaking after 6+ years of use? I’ll post some photos from it later.

I got SO MUCH DONE TODAY I can’t believe it. :lol: The house is super cleaned, I sweated to Just Dance for an hour, took a hot bath, and updated poupee. Well you know, went to work & was busy & all that today too!! :P

    Jenny, thanks for your visit to my blog. I love your header picture and your layout so cool! Did you make it by yourself?
    I feel pretty bad with those html codes,envy how you manage this layout so well :)

    • jenny says:

      I sure did :) I make all my layouts and write up all the code myself but to be fair I work as a web developer so it’s just something I do :)

    Beautiful pictures! DC reminds me of my friend’s cat, BC!
    They look so similar (and their names are pretty alike). He found her beat up and very boney ; n ;. I’m glad she’s doing much better now. BC stands for “best cat” BTW, pretty cute xD

    Time for you to move to Boston or LA haha… no more south for us … eeeeek -___-

  5. Fatiha says:

    wow ~ the cherry blossoms are so beautiful! it’s always captivating taking a look at them…
    It’s nice that you got a chance to visit your home town too!
    the sunset is wonderful ~ i always love watching them, no matter where I am!
    Living on a coast must have been fun ~ I’ve always lived pretty far inland!
    the cat’s expression is priceless ~ hehe
    & like i told you before, it’s nice to know you accomplished a lot, even though you’re exhausted.. ^_^ i love how the house looks after it’s cleaned ~ so fresh!

  6. Tori says:

    Such a cool camera~ love the way all of these photos turned out.
    & yay for productivity, haha~! XDyy

  7. hmm the quality pictures turned out really well. wanted to purchased a toy camera like this. :)

  8. kanon says:

    i love all your picture!! hmm…

    i have a diana mini camera which is not working.
    i got it online but after taking several photo’s i can’t
    seem to wrap the film up (idk if im saying right) so
    i can’t take any picture.

    it was expencive but its not working so im scared
    to buy another toy camera -____-

    is toy camera easy to break?? i don’t have any friends
    who have toy camera so i couldn’t ask…:(

    • jenny says:

      Oh having troubles winding the film back into the canister? Hum I dunno. I had a really bad problem winding my holga film the first few times. Figured out I was doing it wrong in the end *user error* :( Sometimes there’s the tiniest little button that needs to be pressed when winding the film. I don’t have a Diana BUT the toy camera flickr groups are very helpful with answering questions sometimes.

      I wouldn’t say they break easily, most the issues come from a faulty film spool. But that being said they ARE plastic cameras and only expensive because of their rarity and popularity. Sometimes I want to buy new types, but really they are costly and I don’t use mine much anymore.

  9. Steph says:

    I want a golden half too :(
    Either that or a Diana F+!

    • jenny says:

      Yea the Diana F+ was released after I bought my Golden Half Dxxxxxx I wanted it badly but I’m glad I didn’t buy it since I don’t use my toy cameras as much as I used to these days.

  10. Zoraida says:

    hahahahahahahaha when i see that kitty
    i see zoolander’s magnum face

    ooooh~~

  11. Lovely photos~ I’m so sad I didn’t get many sakura shots in this spring… but they came down so fast around here :(

    That cat has an amazing expression! I love crazy pets!

  12. Jenny says:

    those are such beautiful photos. i’ve always wanted a toy camera, but i just don’t have the money to get one. someday tho! :D

  13. Veronica says:

    I love all of them! Beautiful!

    • Veronica says:

      omg and cat’s like WHOA

      • jenny says:

        She always looks like she’s TRIPPIN BALLS

        At Xmas she spends her day trying to ride the toy train around the tree. She’s incredibly intelligent and even MORE manipulative. When you start yelling at her for, oh I dunno, tearing up 4 rolls of toilet paper, she’ll walk up to you when you sit down and literally give you a little peck kiss on your face. DA FUCK then you’re all like ZOMG YOU ARE TEH CUTEST KITTEH *pet pet pet*

  14. Cindii says:

    I love kitties!! Your pictures are nice too!!

  15. Honeydew says:

    Wonderful pictures and beautiful sunset!

  16. Marina says:

    Oh my! That cat’s expression was comical! I wish my cat would make expressions like that, usually she moves her head or makes a frowning face.

  17. Sara Mari says:

    I really liked the photos you took around your hometown, I felt something very personal in them. And the cats are cute too XD

  18. Alyse says:

    Those photos are great! I love the lighting @w@ so romantic~~
    Must’ve been nice living near the water ^o^ I’ve been a forest girl myself~ lol

    Yay for a super productive day!♥

  19. Omg, the cherry blossoms! *__* I miss them so much! I hope I can visit Virginia again during the spring so that I can head over to DC and look at them. :)

    And wow, that’s one crazy expression! xD She’s so cute though~ ^^

  20. BiBi says:

  28. Jenii says:

    Aaaaah! Lovely photos!! I am adoring how your hometown feels nostalgic & how the photos are vignetted to reflect that feeling :)

    There’s something comforting in being able to come back to a place that rarely changes… :D

  29. Lokkita says:

    nice to see some of your film photography again!

  30. Ys says:

    Awww the cats are so cute :D I love the black cat’s expression – so crazed hehe.

    The water looks amazing too. Makes me want to holiday :)

  31. Maikue says:

    OMG! YOUR DC looks like MY TED!!! She’s probably a lot older..

    I still love your Golden Half photos– I also love my Golden Half. Actually about two something years ago, I saw your GH photos and was really inspired to purchase one…

    I can never coordinate my photos to take them correctly– they mostly mix and match!

  32. Courtney says:

    Nice pics :)
    Aw the memories of your hometown sounds sweet
