the retro rose

Can I just say how much I love this picture? The bokeh makes me swoon, and the tones, OH the tones.

Back when pictureline was on 200 east, I went there once and afterwards was walking around a bit and found the retro rose. I've gotten a few things there over the years, always classic pieces that I love, even from the first thing I got there. a few weeks back I met christine there so we could walkabout and photograph downtown. It was kinda raining here and there but it was the kind that feels SO good. Well, this was right after I had picked up Mami from the shop. I literally got one frame outta her that day then had to carry her around for nothing (or, if I remember correctly, christine did, thank you again).

why would i have the person i was with carry around my camera? well, see, this was wrapped onto me:

A friend gave me a korean backwrap (I'm sure there is a much more beautiful name for it), and christine is lovely and oh so accommodating. She even took that picture and i La La La LOVE it.

But for real, peeps. getting back Mami and working with her has been more of a learning curve than I was anticipating. I won't be discouraged, of course, but photographing lines that should be straight is not in my foreseeable future, let's just say that.
