In a Kate Bush way

A few months back Kat and I did some light shopping at Buffalo Exchange where she found this dream of a dress. Finding a long, flowy dress for a girl who is 6'0'' most days is not easy so stumbling upon this beauty for only $16...I literally wouldn't let her say no. We snapped a couple pictures in my room later that night, but the only ones I cared anymore for were the instant ones. It's okay, all it did was enhance the Kate Bush vibes she was racking in. 

 

In An Instant

I never really did an "end of 2014" post and we're almost done with January. I just got back from a brief vacation and I feel finally ready to start (and finish) all the projects I have twirling around in my mind. 

These are some of the polaroids I've taken over the last few weeks 2014. I'm getting back into the swing of instant photos, my first true love. I look up to so many artist like  Lou Noble and Autumn De Wilde; I've been following their work since my prime Tumblr and Flickr infatuations. Lou's polaroid portraits really sparked something in me when I was about 18 and I've been in love ever since. Also, I've been working in my 35mm camera into shoots as well. Although my DSLR will always be number one for many obviously reasons, I do still love shooting film whenever I can.

P.S. plus shooting more video because that's just a fun extra. 

little here + little there: Party Edition, vol. 3

For the past two years I've been documenting Reggie's birthday parties...mainly because by the end of the night everyone was at our apartment. This year he opted for more of a birthday outing which was actually really nice to not have the stress of cleaning and buying food! But I didn't really see lugging around my camera in a bar was an option for me for obvious reasons. I decided to order some film for my Polariod 300 so I wouldn't get too distracted with picture taking :). It went pretty well! Plus I love shooting instant; it's so much fun.
