On 35mm: Oakland

Fuji 100 Film

There are so many cute mid-century modern buildings in Oakland. We rarely ever venture over on that side of the bridge, but I really want to go more often. I saw so many cute buildings that I want to photograph when we were driving through on our way to Children's Fairyland.

On 35mm: Children's Fairyland

A couple of months ago, we went to the Children's Fairyland in Oakland with Mars' good buddy, Joss. It was a mid-century wonderland and I wish I took more photos on film, but this is where my Ricoh R1 died :( 

On 35mm: Hog Island Oyster Co

Fuji 100 Film

Our friends, Pearl and Tom, came to visit SF from London with the best news: they're expecting! These are from when Auntie Rach, Mars, and I met up with them for lunch at Hog Island Oyster Company at the Ferry Building.

On 35mm: Discovery Museum with AyRay

Fuji 100 Film

This was the last roll of film I ever took in my trusty Ricoh R1. This camera has lasted me many many years and finally just gave up. You can tell it was nearing its end with the orange ribbon it left on most of these photos.

These pictures were taken at the Bay Area Discovery Museum with Auntie Rach. It is my favorite place to take Mars even if most times, he'd rather play with the train table in the gift shop. 

On 35mm: Crab Sandwiches and Pacifica

Fuji 100 Film

A few months ago, our friends came up from LA and we spent a day in Pacifica with crab sandwiches from Nick's. It was one of the hottest days we had this summer and I don't think Mars, J, and I were prepared for the heat. We wore pants! So foolish :) 

On 35mm: Sarah's House

Kodak Ektar 100 Film

Our good friend, Sarah, and her family live in the cutest house that reminds me of being in Palm Springs. These are some pictures we took outside in the hot hot weather.

On 35mm: Original Pancake House

This was in the same strip mall that I posted last week, but it deserves its own post because it's an Original Pancake House! I didn't know this was a chain?! We have one (but now I learned that there are actually more) in Southern California and I always loved going after going vintage Pyrex shopping, so seeing this was super nostalgic. Plus, it's in the cutest A frame building, ever!

And this was across the street. What a view :)

On 35mm: Fremont

We decided to pick up food for a friend, who just became a new mom, and discovered this super cute strip mall. We got food from this falafel place and it was amazing!

On 35mm: Signs and Things in Southern California

These were from our trip to So Cal back in June.

On 35mm: Stanford Shopping Center

These were taken about five or six months ago after M started walking a bit more. I can tell because he's still walking with his hands up in these pictures :)
