happy valentine’s day <3

This is an old polaroid I took, way back when I was in my last year in college in 2004. The edges are discolored a bit because it was a part of a gift for Zach for his birthday, where I did polaroid transfers (and regular polaroids) and bound them all in a book. There were a few transfers that did not come out, so I stuck regular polaroids over them. And this is what happened to them, 6 years later.

happy chinese new year!

To be honest, I have no idea what those banners say. This was taken in 2008 when I went home for Christmas – this image was a part of a series of polaroids as well – but these were just images of home.

Two holidays in one day, how fun is that? :) I hope you are ringing in the new lunar year with your very special valentine ;)

(and I hope to share the rest of the images from these series someday)

A very simple and special moment, captured unknowingly :) These are my favorites.

Quite possibly one of the funnest dining experiences I’ve had (I felt like I was in England!), was when I met a friend for high tea at Tea Upon Chatsworth in Point Loma. We were pampered with a wide selection of all their teas, and all these photo-worthy delectable treats! Their lemon scones are soooo yummy (not dry at all), their corn chowder is so savory, and a favorite of mine is their little trifle, which is the second to last image. I felt like such a lady here, and everyone was all so nice. Plus I loved their mismatched decor and tea cups everywhere! Such a fun time :) If you ever want to try this lovely place, I believe you will need to make a reservation, as space is small here, and it seems to be quite popular.

I just love afternoon walks. Morning walks are wonderful too. Definitely ties in with my love for afternoon & morning light. :)

One of my favorite, favorite times of day is in the late afternoon (of course), when the light is golden and milky. My other favorite time of day? The morning. Unfortunately I am too much of a night owl to actually enjoy that many mornings. :(

Images are taken with my Canon AE-1 Program, a camera I recently resurrected from my camera collection – I just developed a roll of film that I had sitting in there, and was pleasantly surprised by the images. It’s like Christmas sometimes when you develop old film. :)
