Petra on the rocks

Last summer, after some time waiting for it to happen, my Bilora Bonita 66 was given her first roll (since she's been in my hands). I've been obsessed with Vivian Maier and her rolleiflex for maybe ten years, but knew nothing about analog photography. Somebody that I used to think I knew gave me the Bilora Bonita as a present because of that. Not a rolleiflex, but you get what you get. I loved how the box camera looks with her vintage twin lenses, but I didn't know where to start. She waited on a shelf until a year ago, when my friend Petra and I bought a couple of rolls and decided to take her out. Petra taught me the very basics to use the camera and she's been my favourite model ever since. This summer I have been obsessed with learning more, shooting more and getting a couple new-old cameras. I've been literally dreaming of taking pictures. While I wait impatiently for the results of my first rolls from the yashica mat 124 I got a couple of weeks ago (there I go, Vivian), I'll share here these lucky first roll pics. It was an awesome feeling to get the results for the first time and I love love love some of them.
