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 wanted to do something a little different from the regular 'Spring has sprung' album, so I used a mask taped into the back of my trusty Pentax P50 for a kind of vintage feel.
The sun was shining so bright this morning and for a moment there, I thought of summer. These shots were taken at Ava's birthday party for her 4th birthday last August. We had a pool party and thanks goodness that was the case because it was just so hot that day!
I bought this pinhole camera a year and a half ago . When it arrived here I was kind of shocked . It's huge ! It's as big as a cookie box . And I knew it wouldn't be easy to use it . ...
I finally decided to take it out yesterday ( it took some time to figure out how to load and fast forward the film , haha ) These are my first results -- I know , I have to practice a lot more :D
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"
Laguna Aculeo is about 45min south of Santiago. These were taken in fall with 2 of my LC-Queens. Rollei film usually looks beautiful when I browse photos here. Mine turned grainy and dull though.
