I added a new film camera, a Canon AE-1,  to my collection in July.   I have forgotten how often I have shot with it already.  It is a great little camera.  Light and easy to take with me.  Here are my favorite five from July.

Anytime I capture this handsome man it becomes a favorite.

I have a thing for this particular view.  It feels hopeful while still at the bottom and in the darkness of it all.

Me.  Finally, at 43, I am really starting to be a favorite of mine.

And when light touches just enough to give me hope of a new day… well, I always love that.

And these are three of my favorite things all in one- photography, Guinness, and my man.
