an ode to film photography...

Theres something incredibly poetic about the permanency of film photos. Whether it be polaroids, disposables or a vintage film camera, film photos capture the emotions of a moment better than any digital camera or phone. When you take a digital photo, you can easily take and retake the photos as many times as you wish. If your anything like me, you'll end up with hundreds of the same image, unable to decide which is the "best". With film photos, you don't have this luxury. Instead, you have to take the photo, the moment, as it is, embracing it for its imperfections. Lens flares, unfocused images and intruding fingers become part of the art. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm always thrilled to get back my developed disposables, and find it so entertaining to flip through my photos and look at the perfect little imperfections.

~

This year, when we went back to Malaysia for a trip, my sister and I both bought disposable cameras to bring to the Island with us. Here are a few of our collective images. I honestly love each and every one of these images. The memories attached to each picture will always have a place in my heart.

CHAPEL STREET

I love Chapel street.

It's honestly one of my favorite places in Melbourne. For one the shopping is amazing, from small little boutiques to big name chain brands like Topshop. The surrounding streets are adorable and you can find the cutest little cafes and eerily cool walls covered in graffiti. 

This past weekend I went to Chapel street with a friend, with the sole purpose of seeking out Nutrition Bar, which sells the most amazing smoothie bowls. We both had the peanut butter bowls and they did not disappoint. 

We sat in chairs by the window and spent ages just watching everyone passing, and finding style inspiration. 

I spent way to much money on a pressed juice (which was amazing) and honestly had such a great day, so here are some pictures to commemorate it.

DREAMING OF SUMMER

I'm sitting on my floor right now, burning incense, listening to Joni Mitchell and wishing I was at splendour In the grass music festival. 

Even though it is the dead of winter here in Australia, I thought I would show you some of my summer time/ festival inspiration.

First up is my favourite blog at the moment
THE MESSY HEADS
Emma and India's blog give me such good vibes and makes me feel like lazing around on a beach all day. Their style is really cool and their photos are so nice. Definitely check them out

I found this picture on tumblr, I don't know if this was ever an album cover for this song but I still love it. The colours are really cool and this song is always playing before I go to bed. Its such a relaxing tune and it always manages to calm me down.

I love how delicate and fairy-like these hairstyles are.

IT WAS OUR PLAN B...

If you've read my last post, or watched my last video, you would know that I spent and incredible week in Malaysia, soaking up the sun, and visiting my main babes. 

We had an amazing couple of days together, and although I wish we had longer, I am so grateful for these beautiful girls and incredibly thankful that I was able to go see them.

My gorgeous friend Jessy also has a post on this on her blog JUSTTPEACHY

{view her post here}

~

We got brunch at the last place we wanted to go, where we had to get our second choice meal (as they had sold out of our first choice) and had to eat at the worst table ( we wanted one with better lighting)

ironically enough, the restaurant was called Plan B

~ 

After brunch we shopped around for a bit, and then found a great white wall where we took tonnes of photos. If you want to see more pics check out my instagram @meghan.lewis

I had such a great time with these girls and it honestly felt like I had never left. In the end, we just couldn't bear saying 'goodbye' so we said 'see you tomorrow'  and pretending wed all be at school together the next day...

MALAYSIA | 2015

Hey Everyone,

As I said in my last post, I have just returned from an exciting break from winter in Malaysia.

I had such a marvelous time snorkeling all day and eating roti canai and black pepper chicken. 

It was so relaxing and I have come back feeling completely rejuvenated and alive.

It was also so amazing to see my best friends again, featured at the end of the video. I will have a blog post up from our fun filled weekend up soon.

so without further rambling, here is the video:

RED, WHITE & BLUE

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been feeling a bit brain-dead recently.

Luckily that was all fixed by a relaxing and rejuvenating week on and island in sunny Malaysia. 

I am back now and motivated to post as much as possible. I took loads of video footage in Malaysia so you can expect to see a video on my youtube soon!

In the meantime I thought I would share some photos from when I went to Chapel street with some friends. We went to the incredible Soda Rock diner. The food was amazing and the people were so friendly. It's all retro themed and I loved it! You can expect to see these photos on my Instagram very soon...

CITY SLICKERS

hey everyone,

Last Friday I had no school, so I went exploring in the city with two of my friends. I am still getting used to Melbourne and it was really fun to just wander around. We ended up getting lost a few times due to my horrid sense of direction but I think it made it even more fun!

so here are some photos I took on the day:
