Roll of Film: Light Leaks from December

I had to retire my Canon AE-1 after this roll

due to another roll of light leaks.

Not to fear, I have been shooting with an old Nikkor, but the light meter is broken.

Here's some shots from December that would have been really great.

But I like the effect on some of the photos... reminds me of filters before instagram.
