Here Comes the Sun!

There's a new Poppytalk Handmade Market opening today, "Here Comes the Sun!" It's all about summer, and you can visit my table here!

Do you have fun plans for this summer? (or this winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere?) I'm catching up on a lot of work, but also planning a road trip through the Southwest and home to California next month! In the meantime, here's one of my homages to summer, shot on my roadtrip to Minnesota that I took last summer. Check the spelling--do you really want to eat "TenderMAID" hamburgers?

more from Lake Superior

As you can see from this post, I had a wonderful time making Polaroid pinhole photographs while up in Minnesota visiting Lake Superior last month. I also had a wonderful time shooting photos with my Sx-70 using a sweet pack of expired Time-Zero film that my friend Cassandra gave me last year. Here are three of my favorites. I love the way the expired emulsion casts fire upon the lake; fire and water dance together in the incomparable magic of time-zero.
