peonies nod in the breeze



here is a beautiful bouquet i got last weekend at the fremont market. the peonies remind me of my college graduation (which was a year ago yesterday) because i put a bouquet of pink peonies on my cap. that was such a fun day and i'm a little sad for it to be a year away now.

the top shot is with the holga and the bottom is with that expired film i told you about. i really love the texture in the expired film one. i also got my most recent roll of film from the holga back and it is the best yet! i am so excited to share.

  1. really fun to see the difference between the to shots, i like both of them but for different reasons - the rich colors and vignet (is that the right word?) on the holga and the texture and pale colors of the other one. i really enjoy following your experiments anna! (maybe i already said that..)

  3. hi! wow. love those photos. that expired film is great. are you shooting that with a yashica? i adore peonies. they're one of my favorite flowers. i've given your blog an award because it is so lovely, as are you. thank you for all your inspiration. i'm still thinking my way through the holga film swap versus the 35 mm and will get back to you soon! it's been a long day and i need some time to wrap my brain around the project and figure out how best to get it done. i think we can do it either way though. i'll email you tomorrow or the next day. have a great night!

  4. hi tifanie!! thank you for the award, i am honored. i'm also a little sad because i can't award you back. that photo was taken with a simple film point and shoot. sometimes simplicity produces the best things. take your time on deciding what to do with the film swap. i'll keep seeking out some lomos, too

  8. A beautiful bunch of flowers. Peonies are a favourite bloom of mine... they are so round, and the colour! So swoon-worthy.
