New Prints Available and Hawaii Bound
by Amanda on January 3, 2010
These non filmy shots are now available as prints in my Print Store.
I hope you are all enjoying your beginning to 2010. I am currently planning for our little getaway to Oahu. Currently I have packed:
- 3 packs of Polaroid 779 (plus 5 shots left in the camera)
- 2 rolls of Portra 160NC and 2 rolls of Portra 400NC
- 2 rolls of Kodak Tri X
- Polaroid SX70
- Polaroid SLR680
- Nikon FM3A
- Holga
I am now trying to decide whether or not to lug the DSLR. I’d rather just pick up this baby and take it instead. All I can think about is the sunshine on my back, fresh salty air, Havaianas and the Ala Moana Centre (J Crew, Neiman Marcus, Kate Spade and Nordstrom here I come).
I cannot wait to get over there with my Polaroids and shoot, shoot, shoot!
p.s. The Canadian got a Wii for Christmas and I’m already addicted to Mario Kart even though I suck at it. I made a The Edge Mii- so sad!

Absolutely GORGEOUS shots, Amanda! Hope you have a fantastic and WARM trip :-)
these prints are gorgeous. i’m certain you’ll sell a bunch of these.
have fun in hawaii — i so look foward to seeing all the pictures you’ll be sharing with us.
Hello Amanda. Nice pictures ! That make me start thinking about spring … Great for you to go to Hawai. Hope you’ll enjoy it ;o)
Aw, Hawaii sounds so great right now! I was there in september! Sound like you’ve been there before? Our best memories are from snorkeling with dolphins and manta rays! :)
And I’m also thinking about buying the EP-1. I got some money for christmas, but since I already have an SLR, I don’ know if it is worth the money, although it is a little smaller and lighter.
I find it really hard to carry my SLR around all the time, and the result is that I leave it at home… I’m still unsure about the EP-1 or 2 issue too.. What is it about this camera that makes you want it as well as your SLR?
Have a great holiday!
Thanks ladies. Yes, I am so excited and I just hope it doesn’t rain while we are there.
Mausumi, the reason I want the EP1 is because I need a smaller more compact camera to just throw in my bag. Like you I don’t like lugging my DSLR around (who does?) and from lots of research I’ve done, the EP1/EP2 is as close you are going to get to DSLR quality pictures from any compact cam.
As Olympus themselves very cleverly market, it’s not a compact cam, not a DSLR. I just love the size and picture quality but I also want something with HD video for my little movies Ive been making. Plus with the adaptor, you can add many different lenses to it.
I really want to sell the DSLR but I may regret that so Id rather just have both hehe
Amanda-
I am still debating over the EP-1 too. (or just waiting for the price to come down a bit more, now that the Ep-2 is out…) I hope you get one soon, so you can tell me what you think of it!
I can only imagine what a wonderful time you will have in Hawaii with all of that sunshine and polaroids. Can’t wait to see your photographs! -A.
My husband got a Wii for Christmas, and it is addicting :) Can’t wait to see your vacation photos :)
