not a photo pro

twenty years ago I mentioned that I was getting an instax mini for myself for christmas. but then the seller turned out to be a crook (boo!) and I never got it.

but then some while ago I found a deal on this baby

and then right after I found another one on this

sadly I haven't had the chance to try out the instax 200 yet (because the price of that film makes me go what the fudge??? ...I'm poor)
but I have had some experiments with the instax mini one

like I said Darling really likes that rug (:

these are from my friends birthday party a couple weeks ago. the theme was superheros. unfortunately there isn't any pictures of me (that I would care to share...) but I went as Storm from the X-Men.
yes, I'm a geek at heart.
playing the wii dance game. note the cool catwoman and lady gaga costumes

obviously I still got a lot to learn about taking pictures with these instax cameras. the fact that the eye hole doesn't really do anything still throws me off a lot. so I really strugle with the aiming. but other then that I love it! there's just something magical about instant film


{if you have any tips or suggestions how to work with the instax cameras I would love to hear them!}

    i ALSO have an instax mini-polaroid camera. it's so fun, isn't it?! but i agree...the film makes you feel oh so poor.

    you did a nice job! i love the feel of the "party shots"

    I love the photos you've taken, they remind me of stills from movies!
    I know what you mean about the price of film..the film for my instax is unreal! So for now it is just an ornament :(
