A Gentle Breeze

Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, My friend Tati and I went up to the field near out houses and took these photos, which showcases an amazing almost see-through veil I found in my basement dress-up chest. The property used to be an estate, and I would love to go back and get some more photos in the ancient spring house and natural water pool.

Tati wears my mom's old skirt (from the hippie days) as a dress with a thrifted belt. I have on a dress that is also from the sixties, found in the attic. The flowing and free quality the cloth takes while floating upon a breeze mirrors the famous ideals of the time period from which our styles were taken. Hopefully you feel a sense of peace and lack of restrictions from both the outfits and the overall feel of the photos.

Nothing like Black and White

I love the crispness of a black and white gelatin prints. My parents and I just went to go see an exhibit of Robert Frank, the great American, 20th Century photographer. Many of his photos were blurry because they are candids and that is part of what makes them so wonderfully real. Here are some of his photos:

Here are some photos I took inspired by Frank:
