in a post-lake daze.

7.11.2012


I still can't decide if that one night back in my own bed is the most comforting or the most disappointing of nights. Bittersweet, I suppose. Either way, I was ready to repack my yet-to-be unpacked suitcase by morning. Trip one seemed short lived (when don't they?), but well lived. 

I made things. I left them there. I brought home nothing but a full roll of film, a handful of images and videos (i'll share soon), and possibly a few beautiful pieces of jewelry from that one tiny shop opposite the boardwalk. I also read a really incredible book and tried not to worry much about anything.

Until August, second home.

  1. at first I was thinking "no, abbey, no. Don't edit your photos to look like film. !!" then "these are real film?! these are amazing!" Which they are.
    Film is seriously one of my favorites. Wishing i had an actual 35mm camera.
