Black and White Film: Paulina

So, these are the film pictures I took of my gorgeous friend, Paulina, when my camera broke, and I had to go digital (which didn't turn out to be such a bad thing). To see the digital pictures, scroll down for a bit :-)

The City That Never Sleeps... (And Why See)

(My personal favorite ^)

Mmkay... so in case y'all (yes, I did in fact just say "y'all") haven't figured it out, "And Why See" is the equivilant of "NYC". When I was little, I thought NYC was code for "And Why See." But rweally, when your in New York, what's not to see? I went to Greenwich (which I always thought was spelled "Grenige") Village for the first time, and I absolutely fell in love. It is so chill, and the people are all so kind and easygoing. It was a thing of beauty.

I adore New York. All the sights, sounds, smells blending together- when I see a place like that, where all kinds of life is interwoven so seamlessly, I can't help but want to be a part of it. I feel special just being, and that is what I think makes New York particularly incredible.

Victorian Age

Since I lovelovelove to work with wild, edgy, relatively out-there concepts, I decided to test my digital skills with the Victorian-inspired photo shoot. These are the results; enjoy! :-)

Paulina, a Mirror, and the Sky

For my almost-due photo project, about the usage of reflections, I enlisted the help of my gorgeous friend Paulina to model, my mother's bedroom mirror, and botyh my digital and film camera. But, oh wait!- here's the punchline- my film camera decided to die, so while I wait for it to heal at the Photo Hospital, I have one roll of film from today's shoot (pre-camera-dying) and these digital shots. For now, enjoy Paulina's beauty in digital; hopefully more later in film black and white!

Oh, and I took some nice shots of the sky this evening for those of you who like nature shots :-)

Summer Film Part 1

These are two of my all-time favorite prints, which I took over the summer at my beach house. My little sister and my friend Lisa are the models. More prints like these to come, and if you like these two, check out my other black and white film work that is archived on this blog :-)

Photo Shoot (yes, digital again!)

(I messed with this one on my computer) ^

Rain Berries

Today was rainy, which most people would hate, but I have an odd affection for rain. I think thunder and lightning is very, for lack of a better word, comfy, and I love the way rain smells. "But rain doesn't smell... it's only water!" you might say. Well, I hate to be the bearer or bad news, my friend, but you are wrong. Rain does smell; it smells like leaves, and freshness, and nature. So, being the insanely cool person I am, I took my camera out and, in my quest to someday master digital photography, snapped some shots of the berries on a bush outside of my house. Hope you like these, and from now on, smell that rain :-)
