Anyway, since I've always secretly wanted to be a professional photographer, I've been absorbing a lot of Holga and Diana photos recently and that classic vintage-vignette look. I'm hoping to get a Holga for christmas so I can endeavour to take some authentic artsy shots without having to resort to photoshop to fake it. I think its more fun to get the effect from a manual process rather than through a computer. There's something almost magical about handling clunky equipment from 40 years ago, its all so hands-on. And the end result is always a surprise! Funny how that also happens to my stuffed animals when I make them...hah.
So here's some photos from my last trip to California back in June (yeah I know that was like five months ago). Most of them are not vintagey - although two of them I shoved vignettes on and a bit of blurring in PS.
