I have never met anyone who did not love Merle. :)
She and I met when we worked at the bookstore together and she's one of the few people from there with whom I still keep in touch. She's the freest spirit I've ever known and I envy her for it. She's got a great, kooky personal style which I was so happy to be able to capture in these photos.
The
one of her sitting patiently in front of Paulette's is my favourite
photo from this shoot, but the one of her with her hands at her head in
front of the purple wall is the one I think is the epitome of Merle.
Lychee and I know each other from undergrad and I was most excited to photograph her when she volunteered. She has such a great look to her and her Bitchy Resting Face is the cherry on top for me.
I wanted to try a new film, but I was less than impressed with the results which is why I'm not as proud of this set as I usually would be. Nevertheless, thanks to Lychee these photos were saved and aside from looking a little sickly from over editing, I'm more or less satisfied.
The second roll I used was my trusty Lomography Lady Grey, the results of which were lovely as expected.
Hopefully Lychee and I will get to shoot again and her face will grace this blog once again soon!
The boy and I took a short trip to Montreal in April just to get away from the city and to visit some old family friends of mine. It was a refreshing get away where we walked until my legs hurt, saw some butterflies flying free and ate amazing smoked meat sandwiches at Scwartz's.
I tried to organise these photos, but for some reason just couldn't, so here is a fraction of Montreal in April (because I was often too busy enjoying myself to take photos).
