flickr: emilie 79*s

first off, i want to apologize for my absence. my life has taken a complete 360 turn, from the path it was on. i've chosen to go in another direction.....at least for the time being. anyways, today i'm feeling very inspired! emilie 79* is held responsible for this. one can't help but to be in "awe" when looking through her magnificent photographs. polaroid, as most of us know, as become a dying breed. this is terrible, i hate it, but it is true. we all know......digital, digital, and more digital. blah blah blah. however, you would never know this fact to be true, after visitng emilie 79*s flickr page. her constant flow of beautiful polaroid images are soo striking, that you can't help but to look at every single one. the pale blue tones, the messages within, the color schemes, the vintage processes, etc. are classic! emile 79* on flickr, also known as emilie lefellie of paris, france, definitely knows polaroid cameras....actually 8 different types of polaroid cameras. her magnificant book: "a girl's polaroids," can not be missed! emilie was also selected to shoot test shots for the "impossible project" using their px100 film. this set of photographs is in incredible! one of theses images was displayed at their exhibition in nyc. so, emilie 79* aka emilie lefellie, today is your day here. you have inspired us all, and resurrected the dead. we, the living, thank you:). rip polaroid. celebrate yourself and your photographs emilie, for they are truly remarkable! to see more: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilie79/

flickr: t a y l o r and l o e

t a y l o r and l o e. your photos speak to me. i came across the set "kristen and jaime," and i was instantly drawn in. fun, flirty, sexy, beautiful, and intimate, are all revealed. this is what relationshipsare about. the last time i checked, i never saw a sign up sheet for, "lie to me, run all over me, stress me out, and question my self-worth." if these two people aren't really "into one another, i might even feel as if i've been deceived. the image w/the bubbles floating between them, is fantastic! the lighting,the composure, the mood, the negative space........all very beautiful. i am also intrigued by the back of their heads image (under the same set "kristen and jaime). depending on the viewer, one could walk away with many different interpretations. i see solitude. a simple image with a none simple message. technically, once again, great use of negative space, and composition. a truly brilliant portrait. t a y l o r and l o e, thank you and your art, today is your day here.

kyrstin brianna! today is your day here. i have delayed this day for quite some time. i knew that describing your work would be difficult for me. you make life beautiful, by how you have chosen to live it. you remain optomistic. whether emotions are in your favor, or playing against you. i see her unique perspective on life, and it inspires all who know her. just as impacting verbally, as it is visually, her work has created a style of it's own. a poetic photographer is what you are. i have asked myself over and over, which comes first?!? are your thoughts the inspration behind your photographs, or are your experiences what create your photographs, and then later you process out your thoughts?? the past, the present, the past back in the present; it's all a part of your past and present life, and your bright outlook on the future. keep the mind spinning, and the camera clicking kyrstin brianna! we are growing with you. thank you and your art. today is your day here.

flamingtea. today is your day here. you have inspired so many with your creativity and unique style. photojournalistic with a twist. with soo many photographers shooting this type of work, it's hard to stand out amongst the crowd, yet you tower over. your optimistic nature shines through. flamingtea, otherwise known as olivia (got this info. from your testimonials), lives her life to the fullest. i don't see another way of living, but unfortunately, there are very few who can commit to this lifestyle. it takes a carefree, live in the moment, chase your dreams soul. i believe that flamingtea represents a mirror image of who she truly is, through her photography. apparently we all want this lifestyle, but fear stands in the way of those who don't persue it. so, olivia, your photos provide an outting for the less fortunate and fearful. they're like therapy really. personally, i love every single aspect of life you represent. you reassure me, that i'm not the only one who goes and does as she chooses. dreamy, fun, energetic,  youthful, spontaneous, and worldy. this is what i see in you and your photographs. thank you and your art. today is your day here.

lesliee. today is your day. 2 things; summer and polaroids. what could possibly be better? a youthful spirit, experimenting in life through photo documentation. you do it with such bliss. lesliee is what one could call "a naturalist." earth tones, sunlight, and nature, are a constant reflection in her work. no space is forgotten in composition, and a cinematic quality is revealed. i love this! lesliee, you are from brookfield, wisconsin. i'm not sure of your exact age, but i believe that you are 18, and i know you're attending high school. if i am wrong, please correct me. i know your artistic endeavors will take you far. your talent is apparent. lesliee's photos are available for purchase. if  interested in purchasing prints, contact her through email via flickr. don't ever stop shooting. it's a gift you were blessed with. thank you and your art. today is your day here.

SophieG*. today is your day. it sounds strange to use words such as negative, and minimalism, when referring to your work. taking full advantage of negative space with an overall minimalist theme, is what you do best though. your ability to show soo little, but say soo much, is brilliant. this is not an easy task. transparent, soft, and fragile her photographs appear, but powerful is what they always remain. SophieG*'s testimonials from flickr contacts, reveal the amount of inspiration she has reflected onto others. a painter of light, an illustrator, and an emotion provoker, are just a few of the words one uses to describe her. i have one particular common interests with SophieG*. In her profile, she quotes, "For me, the desire to be behind the camera has a lot to do with not wanting to be in front of it..." i could not relate more. With flickr's 365 projects creating a new found confidence in shooting "self-portraits," i began to feel lost. i think it is incredible that soo many of you are shooting such amazing portraits of yourselves, i really do! i'm just better behind the lens, rather than in front of it. so, with that said, i'm extremely excited to know that someone else feels the same. alright, wait no more. go get lost. SophieG*, thank you and your art. today is your day here.
