North East Coast

When I'm tired of life in the capital, I would love to move to the coast either Brighton or Tynemouth would be my preferences for different reasons.
I love the north east coastline, there are so many unspoilt beaches, King Edwards Bay and Durage Bay being my favourites. Being minutes away from the beautiful sandy beaches is something I miss when I'm in London, as even the nearest coastline is a train journey away and is mostly pebble beaches.
I remember summer evenings in my late teens spent heading to the beach and chilling out with my friend Sas, drinking cold beers, or hot summer days in the caves of Colourcoats (not usually one of my fav beaches)swimming in warm shallow pools left by the tide.

I went for a day out to Tynemouth with my parents the other week to explore the huge flee market and then for a nice drive up to blyth and whilst I was there thought I'd test out my vignette app.

Diana Camera... I miss real photos!

I've just bought a Diana camera from Amazon and can not wait for it to arrive!!

I've always loved the soft hazy images that this cheap little camera produces, an effect that can not be replicated with a digital camera however hard I try.

People never print photos anymore and I miss that. Remember the excitement that came with getting your holiday photos back? All the little memories that came wooshing back after a week of being back at home. I loved that feeling! It's just not the same when you have already seen a picture the moment you take it. Why do we have to have everything instantly? I love the wait, and the suprise of seeing images in a different way to how you saw them in reality. Am I alone in this?

Anyway, It's my intention to take it with me to Paris next month and take lots of dreamy photos of the city in the autumn.
