These two photographs were taken within a minute of each other. I am certain that I didn’t change the shutter speed on the Diana camera*. There are only a few settings anyways. And since it’s film, there is no metadata to be sure.
A few words.
Vintage. X-ray. Photogram. Photographing Fairies.
* I may have changed the lens setting as it appears the focus is quite different in both exposures.

Summertime just isn’t complete without the county fair. I grew up going to the Santa Clara County Fair. The sights, sounds, and smells are all very vivid memories to me. We went to the LA County Fair last weekend. As we drove up, the Pomona Fairgrounds seemed like a tiny oasis lost in this mass land of Los Angeles. As we stepped closer, it was as if we had drank from the same magic bottle as Alice. Everything grew bigger as we shrunk to tiny bite size people. There were at least three or four ferris wheels, game alley spanned most of the fairgrounds, fried food every where you turned, drinks galore, and farm animals in a giant barn bigger than what you’d ever seen on the side of the Pacheco Pass. While I did take color photos, these few black and white photos taken with my Diana + bring back those happy memories of summertime at the county fair.

To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. – William Blake

This one was a surprise. I aimed and the flower wanted to hide. Either that or the wind shoved him No matter, he’s still pretty.

This is the color version of Garden Gnomes & Faerie Flowers. The setting sun casts a warm glow on cotton candy petals which also serve as fair rides for the faerie folk.
