Last Looks

vintage everything // flats - tic tac toes

My 35mm camera usually winds itself when you reach the end of the roll. I always resign myself after 24 shots, but sometimes it will squeeze in 25 or even 26 exposures before winding up. When that happens, I ask Sterling to take a quick photo of me right before going into the store to get the roll developed. Sometimes the greedy greebles at Walgreens will grant me the extra exposures, but more often than not they go off into photo heaven, so I try not to get attached or excited about whatever's at the end of the roll.

These were serendipitous last looks, and I love how they came out, even the shaky one up top. The LA sunshine bleaches everything into a dreamy haze, but the Bay Area sun makes colors bleed like wine on a paper napkin. I spent the greater part of last summer in an office and then in a hospital, so I'm very much looking forward to this one - I want to do everything: camping, the beach, Big Sur, picnics, all of it...

Everything that can fit around summer school, that is.
