happy monday! this weekend, once again tom and i had the most magical day surfing. the sun was out, the water was actually pretty warm and we both got a bit sun kissed, it was marvelous. it was actually hard to get off our blanket in the sun. well, any who, we finally finished up the roll of film from our new underwater camera!
 |
| i think i was a mermaid in another life. me + sea + sun + waves = love. |
 |
| this is the closest picture of me surfing, it is super hard to capture when we are both going for a wave but one day! |
 |
| beach bum style! |
 |
| yerp, that's me, floating like a little buoy in some of the sharkiest coast line... but really im in 3ft water |
 |
| im pretty awesome at body surfing |
 |
| yes, that is a box of pizza that we brought with us to the beach. you know your jealous. | | |

we did bring our digital camera with us and i wanted to share my favorite one.... so just a little behind this picture if you are wondering what the hell i am doing. there is no shower or hose at this beach so if you want to wash off you have to bring your own water. we found this coleman cooler at the thrift store and we fill it up with hot water and it is the perfect shower after a long surf session!
we are pretty stoked that the film came out. i just love film, don't you?
xo,
cb
Such awesome photos - thanks for sharing! I have some film photos I really need to scan and share too. There is just something quite magical about film, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteyes i agree, film is really magical! scan those pictures, i wanna see!
DeleteSuch beautiful pictures! Very jealous you have all that close to your home <3
ReplyDeletethanks jennifer! we are very lucky to be so close to the sea but i would love to actually live right next to it one day!
DeleteThese photos rock, cb! You guys look like you're having a great time and the photos are so beautiful. I love how the colors are so bright but they're fuzzy at the same time.
ReplyDeletethanks jordan! i agree, the colors are bright and fun but still have that nice fuzzy grainy quality that i love so much about film!
Deletei love your film pictures (especially that first one - it's perfect), and i really love photo dumps! but seeing these pictures and the beautiful california coast makes me miss california SO MUCH!
ReplyDeletewhen was the last time you came to the coast? or are you from here? well either way i think you should come to casa de cristie :D
DeleteWaw, those pictures really are lovely!! I'm jealous of the awesome weekend you guys - clearly - had!
ReplyDeletefilm!!! in the water!!! love these :)
ReplyDeletethanks celeste!
DeleteSo awesome! Surfing looks like so much but I know its a big workout. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteoh man was it a work out! my arms are still kinda soar and after we went surfing i played and swam in the water for about an hour and my legs and feet were sore too! i was a mess but it was all soooo worth it!
DeleteAnd now I'm investigating beachy weekend getaways. So fun!
ReplyDeleteDO IT!!!!!! they are best getaways too!
Deleteso awesome. that first one looks especially nice. and your make shift shower is hilarious!
ReplyDeletehaha thanks rae! the make shift shower is my favorite!
DeleteHah! That's clever and a little silly!
ReplyDeleteyou're such a california girl, I'm jealous
ReplyDeletethank you! best comment ever!
DeleteLove the film :) looks so cool, and sunny; and the makeshift shower is awesome, and yes, I'm so jealous of the pizza :D xox
ReplyDeletei knew my pizza on the beach would make some one jealous! wish you could have been there, i would have shared :D
Deletehee hee, wish I WAS there sweetie, pizza or no xox
Deleteit looks so nice! i'm gonna have to come surf with you one day!
ReplyDeletei would LOVE that! come come come!
DeleteAmazing pics :-) And looks like the most fun too!
ReplyDeleteI've just uncovered my Dad's old camera from the 60s - there was a 20 year old film in it that I've just had developed!!! Taking the camera on holiday in two weeks and hope to get some glorious shots. Yes there is something magical about analogue piccies. Going to be interesting learning about all the dials on the thing... Fun
wow 20 year old film! i want to see these! let me know when you post them so i can take a gander! we have found a few cameras at the thrift store with film and them and have gotten them developed, it was actually really really fun!
DeleteWell they turned out a bit dark. All landscape pics except one of my mum looking very different to how she does now! I took the camera with an in date film on holiday last week and the pics are being developed now - fingers crossed - I kept twisting dials so goodness knows what anything will look like. But here you go - some of the 20 yr old shots from lush green England's northern lands http://penninepeddling.blogspot.co.uk/
DeleteLooks like you had a blast! I love surfing!
ReplyDeleteI am totally jealous about the pizza at the beach and the surfing. You look like you're deep in the water... who woulda thought it was just 3 feet.
I love film, too. It makes me sad knowing that some of it isn't even being used anymore.
haha i know i love that picture of my head bobbing around in the water! it totally looks like i am out at sea!
DeleteThey turned out so well! It's such a great idea to have an underwater camera so you can really catch all of the moments right in the ocean. I love it~
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your BYO hot shower too, hehe!
Guuurl, a wet suit is like swimsuit spanx. I used to wear one ever so often when I worked at the zoo and I promise I wished I could wear it every time I went to the beach. I'll note that I have no reason to do that because I only go in up to my shoulders. I'm so afraid of the ocean. In Costa Rica I had an anxiety attack and said a shark almost killed me and Mexico? I blamed the Loch Ness Monster for my near demise. I so envy you and how comfy you are in the water! Anyway, it looks like a magical day. lol @ the diy shower. Whatever works!
ReplyDeletehaha wetsuits totally are the new spanx! you worked at the a zoo too! SO DID I!!!!!!!! what did you do there? i was the dietitian and feed all the animals. BEST JOB EVEA. oh no a close encounter with a shark! that would make me poop my wetsuit for sure!
DeleteOh man, these pics are so beautiful! I reallllly love the first one and surfing one of you- so bad ass. I am seriously jealous of your beach life and sometimes wonder what I'm doing in the freaking desert of AZ! We have a thrifted underwater film cam from the thrift store and I LOVE the pictures it takes of our summer water adventures. You look so cool and 70's in the one with your sweatshirt :)
ReplyDeletethanks lisa! i don't think i could ever live far away from the ocean, i would cry everyday!
Deletedid somebody say Shark?????
ReplyDeleteahhhhh!
youa re so brave!! :D
love the pics and yep, totally jealous over your pizza.... wait, I haven't had pizza in like 2weeks... something is wrong over here... :)
xoxo!
Des.
oh girl! you gotta go get some pizza, are you feeling ill? this must be corrected ASAP!
DeleteI love the pictures! You guys are total beach bums :) Also, brilliant idea for a shower. That's pretty funny.
ReplyDeletehaha or at least we are wanna be beach bums!
DeleteAaah that looks amazing! Great photos and yes pizza on the beach makes me very jealous! :)
