Okay so we all have those Pinterest dreamy sun kissed images in our head when we think of an epic summer right? Well this years goal is to try and not only experience such adventures but to also record them; photographs, writing it all down, video montages, little watercolours, anything like that. So that by the end I have a collection of stuff that I can delve back into whenever I forget what the sun feels like.
A little game plan I guess you could call it; a rambling list of everything unnecessary I want to do this summer..
Carry my camera everywhere and capture little moments
Buy a cheap disposable camera and get it developed right at the end of summer
Long board along the beach without going anywhere in particular
Hop in a friends car and toss a coin to go right or left - get lost
Get lost again
Buy a Moleskine and use it as a creative outlet / travel journal
Go on long long walks
Paint and sketch and draw and paint some more
Lie in the grass and listen to music
Go outside as much as possible
Thrown myself into this blog
Actually print photos instead of letting them sit on my computer
Take some pencils/watercolours sit somewhere outside and sketch what I see
Go on day trips to new places
Have a movie marathon and roll on all those films I keep meaning to watch
DIY tie-dye a t-shirt, or three
I’m not sure how many of these I’ll accomplish by the end of summer, bearing in mind July is engulfed with a month abroad and a-levely things and trips with friends seemed to have mopped up the days in august. I love a good challenge though, one that I hope to be recording and sharing right here on this blog.
I basically want to do all of these as well. I'm hoping to use my Instax mini loads this summer to capture lots of moments! I love the car flipping a coin idea too!

I use an 18-105mm NIKKOR lens for most of my photos and then a 105mm sigma macro lens for when I want to get up close and personal! Thanks lovely! x
DeleteAmazing plans! Love how you included getting lost one. I usually end up getting lost with my friends and let me tell you that the most memorable and funniest memories come from it :)
