photocrawl
Again with the carousel horses…these colors were more candy than the moodiness of the Dumbo horses. But I love them. I love the pull of childhood. I can remember when I was a girl riding a carousel where you could reach for the ring. I don't remember where it was, other than I was with the dad and I the carousel was inside. I can't remember if I could ever grab the ring, but I remember the excitement of trying. The reach for something just beyond my hand, so that you have to lean into it, you have to commit. I think that sums up my personality. I love the reach, the push beyond my limits. The knowledge that I can press on a little farther.
This was a photocrawl with Anne, Greg and Daphne. It was cold and cheery and lovely to hang out. Again I loved how even though we all walked together, we all have totally and completely different viewpoints. Our eyes would gravitate toward different angles, different objects, different framing…love that there is room for everyone, everyone's views and talents. It makes me really excited.
My film is still being developed and even though I had three cameras (& a fourth in my backpack whose battery died) one of my rolls of film and I had a bit of a disagreement and unfortunately the film won. The other rolls came from the holga…so it is anyone's guess what will happen there.

Hi, it’s one of your CD swap partners, sorry I’m late due to some light drama. Will get around to it asap.

I love these photos, you managed to capture the bittersweet end-of-the-season feeling perfectly. they make me wish the rides were “open” like that all the time.
we had such a fantastic time (I’m not using the royal we, I mean me and Greg!). I can’t wait to crawl together again SOON. taking photos with you makes me a better photographer, I take risks I woudn’t take on my own and watching you in action is beyond inspiring.

Hi Wendy,
Great photos. There is something about carousels that I find a bit spooky, even in the bright sunlight.
Cheers, lj
