Not a Flickr set because: a) I already reached my limit of 3 sets and b) I need to explain some of them and its easier this way. So on we go.
This first set of shots are what I took with my 35mm film SLR. No particular reason I used it for these and not others, I just wanted to use it. These are some of the better shots taken with it.
My cousin playing Mario 3 on her GBA SP. She was playing it all day, and would ask me to pass harder levels for her. That game is like riding a bike. I haven't played it in damn near 10 years and I could just blast through levels.
Just a picture down my grandmas driveway and the field beyond.
Another cousin. With a cat.
We stay out with a guy near Grand Forks, ND. Hes cool and always has room for us to stay. Its nice to stay there to get a break from the relatives, as they can be...noisy. Anyway, this is the old barn on his property. He's planning on tearing it down.
This is my favorite shot from the whole roll. The photo gods were smiling on me or something. You'll notice the GBA and cat cousins from above, and in the middle there is my other cousins daughter. We were sitting in my grandmas kitchen entertaining her, throwing gift bows around and other crazy stuff.
All right, now on to the digital stuff. Some explanation stuff beforehand. My family is quite large and the age ranges for cousins is pretty wide. Theres an older group thats into their 30s, then the middle group thats 20-25. The younger teenage group thats 12-15, and then the really youngins 1-5. While we all like each other, we all kind of stick to the groups we grew up with when we hang out. The 20-25 group is the largest, and the one I'm a part of. However, I like hanging out with the teenage group. They dont take things seriously and remind me of when I was growing up and would visit the farm and stuff. They are just plain fun to hang around with where everyone else tries to be all serious, or there idea of fun to to drink and smoke (neither of which I'm into).
Also the teenage group loves my digital camera and having me take pics of them. They act up for the camera and like to pose doing goofy stuff. Its great, but I've got a billion pictures of them now..heh.
On with the show.
My aunts surprise party cake. Yeah...if you have ever had a geeky picture taken of you, it will end up on a cake.
This is the first shot I took on the trip. It was in the car driving up north at sunset.
Lutefisk is the most disgusting food you'll ever want to eat.
This is the teen cousin group I was telling you about.
They come up with the strangest ideas for pictures.
***WARNING***
It was deer hunting season when I was there. I got some dead deer pics coming up. Enjoy!
My uncle (left) and his father-in-law posing with a deer. I believe the father in law was the one that shot it.This is what a skinned deer looks like.This is what a skinned deer looks like.
This is what my uncle looks like while skinning a deer.
Like I said, my cousins like posing and stuff. It gives me some picture taking practice.
More posing.
Even more posing.
Cousins were looking back through the pictures I had taken. They decided to take a pic of me. Awww.
No trip is complete without a sunset shot.
So, there you have it.
