When I was in high school, I found this poem by Christina Rossetti called "Remember". It's about losing a loved one. It spoke to me so much that it became one of my three favorite poems (the other two are by Shakespeare and Neruda).
When I started doing Lomography a few years back, I wanted to do a series inspired by this poem. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to. Then less than two years ago, I got my heart broken so badly and this poem helped me through that rough time.
The wound has long healed and I finally have the courage talk about moving on through my photos. So I packed my Belair and my amazing tripod and set off to Malibu - to shoot a series inspired by both the poem and my heartbreak.
Of course, the results aren't as good as they would have been had I used my Mamiya but I'm still happy, if only because I finally got to do this series and because it's a labor of love.
My boyfriend and I got up at 5 am to drive all the way to Malibu for this series. My hands and feet were freezing the entire shoot AND we got a parking ticket for it so I really really hope people will enjoy the photos, even if they're not amazing quality.
I was part of the morning convoy from Epsom to Brighton in this year's Brighton Breeze event (more details here: http://www.brightonbreeze.co.uk/ ). These are the shots I took once we were all lined up down in Brighton, taken with my beloved Mamiya C330 (E6-processed expired Ektachrome) and Diana F+ (cross-processed Provia, fat roll). For any diehard VW freaks among you, I also shot a walkthrough video on my phone, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/a6--10lVRoE Was a great event and I loved every minute of it! :-).
