Aesthetic Intoxication

I have finally found the time to post some new pictures. My friends and I recently ventured to Birmingham for a Birthday/BBQ extravaganza. The resulting pictures from said night were taken using my beloved Polaroid Land Camera. In hindsight alcohol and analogue photography do not mix. Do keep a look out on here for the negative lifts I have been doing recently.In the meantime here are a few highlights from the night.

Sunshine, Polaroids and Bunting

Some of my favourite polaroids taken with the lovely Stefanie Valentine. There was lots of sunshine, bunting and arduous trekking.

There were looads of lovely old photographs crying out to be taken home at the vintage fair on Saturday. In the end I selected these little treasures...

The second one down is of particular interest to me because, the woman sat third to the right in my opinion has an uncanny resemblance to a good friend of mine, who goes by the name of Lauren Hughes. If you look closely and compare photos they have a similar grin and nose.Lauren if you have cracked the mystery of time travel you could have at least taken us along for the ride!

These ladies do not need a man to enjoy themselves. June 1931

A land girl perhaps?

Judy's Vintage Fair

This past saturday I attended Judy's vintage fair in Leamington. I bagged myself a polka dot shirt. It looks much cooler than how I have described it. I spent some time rummaging through baskets of old photographs and unearthed some beauties which I will scan later today.There was plenty to see and buy and my Terry's chocolate orange cupcake was heavenly. Highlight of the day was meeting Lola Lamour. She had a stunning voice, and I have to say I was a little starstruck.
