Walking into Dreams, She Hit Pause

I found these prints on Etsy from the shop, She Hit Pause Studios. They evoke a dreamy, nostalgic feeling photographed by Mark Schwartz. His work is captured on Polaroids which are then transferred onto watercolor paper, allowing this grainy washed-out texture to surface.

These remind me of forgotten photographs or glimpses into someone's dream.

Painting with Light

This year, one of my resolutions is to take a photography class. Since I recently inherited a Digital SLR camera, I thought this would be a good chance to take a class and improve my shop photos on Etsy.

A little tidbit I learned yesterday: The word photography means "painting with light" in Greek. How simply beautiful.

I thought these photos from Lucyna DanUta Bakowska were fitting for this post. I love the saturation of colour, the play of light in the foreground and the matching electric makeup. You can see more of her work here.
