polaroid love

I mentioned previously how I acquired a “new-to-me” polaroid camera and how absolutely smitten I am ♥! I’ve only used one pack of film so far – half of which I have made mistakes, trying to get to know this camera and how it works.  But I am really happy with the results.  I’d like...

coca cola

This old Coca Cola ice box sits outside of one of my favorite boutiques.  For some reason, I never noticed it before – but on this day, I couldn’t help but capture it.

details

I recently discovered this spider web on my front porch.  In a previous life, I would have simply gotten a broom and swept it away. But with my camera, I see things.  I experience them.  I take the time to slow down and actually study my subject.  I appreciate all of the hard work that...

a great find

Imagine my surprise over the weekend when my father tells me that we have huge blackberry bush growing on the very edge of our backyard.  No way! I went out to inspect for myself, and lo and behold – we do have a blackberry bush in our backyard, AND it was full of berries.  As...
