it's been forever!

hi everyone! i have been absent from the community for a long time & i miss it! i really need to find more time to spend here because it is a wonderful place. um, maybe you remember, i made a few picture posts in the past (like these: 1, 2, 3) and some of you seemed to like them, so here is another post of pictures i have taken. this will probably be very image heavy, for your information.

i hope you enjoy!
(sorry if any of these are repeated from before, i have a bad memory.)









the above two pictures are actually pretty old, taken at the house i used to live in a few years ago. that second one is my ceiling, with lots of glow in the dark stars.


my friend bryan by a wall of graffiti.


a lot of these are from this past summer.


there was a giant flood in my town! this was a playground underwater.


mega deals! (i love flea markets.)


riding on a carousel.


windows in an abandoned house.




he's not my boyfriend anymore, but i still like these pictures of him.


pool party with my friend erin.


drained hot tub party with my friend erin.






taking pictures in my favorite vintage store.




these are quite a few years old. an adventure at an abandoned house with my friend jennifer.


at the beach when i was sixteen.


abandoned barn.




a rocking horse at an abandoned house.


i think dead birds are sad & beautiful at the same time.


one day i saw a full rainbow!


a car ride on a rainy day.




i love carnivals.


i visited one of the most amazing art projects ever, the heidelberg project! it's in detroit, michigan, and basically it's just this one street that a bunch of artists took over and painted the houses all crazy and put random stuff in the yards, and i don't know, you really should look it up yourself, it's truly incredible.


another heidelberg house, covered in stuffed animals!


dreamcatchers & mountaintops.


big summer sky.




in a field of flowers.


accordion!




kachina dolls.


i don't know if you can tell, but that's a bird charm necklace i wear all the time.


an awesome bug called a crane fly.


record player (playing gulag orkestar by beirut).


nicholas trapped in a telephone booth!


me in the telephone booth.


nick on a wall behind my favorite 24 hour diner.


synjin at an abandoned house.


will in an abandoned barn.


synjin & will on an old piano.


i go to abandoned houses a lot.


russian folk records.


a field of corn.


my friend katie.


a pile of dead bees.












exploring exploring exploring.


i don't often shoot black and white, so here is one.




porcelain doll in an abandoned house.




those two pictures were taken as i drove out of the country and moved to the big city for good. i spent my whole summer in the countryside and i already miss it so much. i think soon i will make another post with all the pictures i've taken of my life in the city this fall, thus far --this post is already ridiculously long! i hope you got through it all right and liked seeing a bit of what my summer was like.






thanks for viewing. :]

Are a lot of these abandoned houses in Detroit?

They're lovely, either way.

Ooo lovely! Where is this vintage store? Madison, I hope!
I'm also curious about your editing & the camera you use, although it's possible I've asked you the camera bit before. Was it the D50?

[info]lullabyexile

October 21 2008, 04:03:12 UTC 3 years ago

noo, not madison --rockford, illinois. but there are some super fantastic vintage places in madison. have you been to gozira-ya?

and yup, d50! i edit in photoshop, too.

[info]lullabyexile

October 21 2008, 04:51:43 UTC 3 years ago

haha yeah it was really scary to see in person. there was also a pile of dead flies, and a pile of dead ladybugs. creepy!

Oh, the glow-in-the-dark stars made me smile so much... it was one of my childhood dreams to have those, but when I finally got a set, they didn't glow much at all. Alas!

Also, I want to steal all of those clothes at the vintage shop. So much beauty! Thank you for sharing.

[info]lullabyexile

October 23 2008, 21:01:24 UTC 3 years ago

in an abandoned house! it was weird. there were three windowsills, one had a pile of dead bees, one had a pile of dead flies, and the other, dead ladybugs. it was strange how they were separated like that.

What a post to wake up to in the morning. And how fitting.

I do believe I had an entire conversation with you as I slowly perused through this entry and looked at the photos.

I absolutely LOVE all of your pictures, they are so precious and they have this nostalgic, emotive, soft feel to it. So fucking good.
How do you do all that amazing bokeh? And do you have a flickr account? I would love to add you.

October 23 2008, 21:02:54 UTC 3 years ago

Oh my gosh, your photos are so beautiful. They're otherworldly and kind of make me want to go explore abandoned houses with you! Haha.
