recollections

a fine frenzy

It never ceases to amaze me that every time I am in search of a misplaced item in my room, I always end up being completely immersed in a nostalgic frenzy with boxes of old stuff. A few years is such a long time now that I think about it. I can’t ‘t even remember past last year, so it was great going through these old polaroids and letters from friends.

pink walls in a pink bungalow by the shore  and sunsets on the beach

a favorite red dress of the week maybe?

fun with make-up. not just for thirteen year-olds

wow. an old Hello Kitty wallet. It’s probably considered vintage you know.

my collection of wacky Japanese postcards sent back to me, re-vamped. a mix CD compilation in  a decked-out envelope.

and an old photo of my Mom . and me. in Vietnam.

tethered to the sun

These polaroids are actually really stunning in person. They had a show at the DeSantos Gallery last year with just the polaroids on the wall. It was great to see everyone leaning in closer to the wall to take a look. They have so much polaroids. I was able to put on some gloves and go go through a basket full of them and the quality of the skin in some of the polaroids was absolutely luminous. I miss instant photos. Wait, let me rephrase that. I miss instant photos without the price gouging for film.  :( Can’t wait until until next year when the polaroid makes a come back.
