I've been doing this project - taking one roll of film of Ellerie - for a year. The first time was September 2014. It's not cheap, I pay about $8 for the film and then $18 to have it developed, printed as 4x6 and for the digital files to be transferred to a CD, but there hasn't been a single month where I haven't been pleased with the results.

I say this every time but film is just magic. It captures something extra that my iPhone or my DSLR just cannot. The three big favorites this month are the pigtails, the backpack and the bandaids. Those (plus still in the crib) pretty much sum up August in EllerieLand.

These photos are part of my "film project" where I take a roll of film of Ellerie each month. You can see all of these posts here. I shoot with an old film camera similar to this and this lens. I have been using Kodak Portra 400 film. I have my photos printed at Nelson's Photo Supply. These images are un-retouched digital scans of the film.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
