A little shoot I did for a friend and fellow photographer while she was stopping through London back in December for her birthday. Mireen & Markus are two of the nicest people you could meet and they requested a shoot done all on the Rollei and Lomo LC-A. Mireen takes beautiful photographs herself and you should check out her work here. And to top it all off, these two lucky ducks saw the Queen while they were in town!
A few weeks ago Reid and I took a belated 30th birthday trip for him to the insanely beautiful isle of Islay- home to many delicious whiskies, covered in peat, cows and sheep, and populated by some of the kindest people I have come across while traveling. We were both really looking forward to this trip and it exceeded any expectations we had by leaps and bounds. Of course I brought along a few cameras to document our adventures and when I got the film back I immediately wanted to print everything off. What I ended up doing was create a book through Pinhole Press and that is the reason this post looks a little bit different- instead of creating a new layout for the blog, I simply uploaded the pages I made for our book. Haven’t gotten the final product back yet but will let you know how it turns out when I do! And now please enjoy the beauty of this Queen of the Hebrides.
Today is quite the milestone for this handsome fella- the big 3-0. Unfortunately, because of my work schedule and the recent move, I can’t be in the same city as Reid so I wanted to give him a little birthday shout out here (though he may kill me for posting a few of these photos). So if you happen to see him around today, give him a big hug and “happy birthday” from me! Love you! (Square images shot on the Rollei, black and white images shot on the lomo lc-a)
