It has taken me nearly a year to shoot the film in my old Yashica Mat-124G camera because unlike digital there is no room for error. It is expensive and I have never used a film camera before, so I very gingerly shot each frame hoping I was getting it right. When I went to Atlantic Photo Supply ( http://atlanticphotosupply.com/ ) to pick up the developed film, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn't sure if any of the pictures would turn out. Well they are not brilliant (by any means) but here they are. I have shot my very first roll of film and I am excited to try again. I have some black and white film loaded now. My aim is to finish the 12 frames much faster than last time and develop it myself at school before the end of May when I will be officially finished my two year program. I love this photography adventure - how could life be any better!

Thank you to Shaun from Scade Photography ( http://www.scadephotography.com/ ) for loading the film in the camera and teaching me the basics of how to use the camera. Your encouragement has meant so much to me.
