As I Snap Myself to Sleep...

May 20, 2011 4 comments

After getting bored of daddy telling me stories, reading me books and all that jazz ...

I just couldn’t fall asleep and all the tricks daddy used on me doesn’t work anymore. I saw him with his Instax 55i and kicked up a big fuss … wanting to use it. Daddy helped me hold the camera still … while I press the shutter button. Finished his last 8 shots in the pack of film that night. I chose my own ‘location’ and prop to pose with and then … the rest (and daddy’s film pack) was history.

Parents … take note! Forget about iPad and all those gadgets. Nothing beats the satisfaction of burning some film before bedtime. :D
