Meet Pixel. She’s my new bunny friend. Isn’t she sweet?
Pixel is playing with my shoelaces.

Night Blooming Cereus
She is also known as Queen of the Night for that is only when she blooms. She opens up her petals to dark sky capturing the brilliant stare of the Moon and the Stars. Before the Sun rises, her petals fall into morning air.

A Study in Flower
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 at the County Fair
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.
