Anna at Much Love developed my holga film from the photoswap and this is my favorite photo of the batch! I suppose this kinda makes me a creep, but I love taking pictures of older couples together. When I'm older I might not have money or the life I expected at all, but having someone to share everything with would make it all okay. Maybe it's why I love Up so much.

Speaking of holgas, one of my very dear friends, (another) Anna wrote a great feature article at The Bohemian about the appeal of toy cameras and film to our generation. Why are blurriness, double exposures, and essentially "accidents" so loved in our digital age? I think she does a great job of explaining it.

Happy rest of the weekend!

it's a photoswap! (and other thoughts)

this summer i participated in rhianne's photoswap. for those of you who don't know, a photoswap is where two people are paired together, take photos, and send each other their undeveloped film (for the other to later develop). my photoswap partner is anna, who lives in australia, and these are some of the photos i got from her film. she shot with her wide lens superheadz and i think that they came out perfect!

to see more film from the photoswap, visit the flickr group!

lastly, since i've been home i've thought about my blog name and wondered how i'm supposed to live up to my "wanderlust" now that i'm back from seven months of being abroad. i have a whole school year ahead of me which sort of limits how far i can travel. this thinking has helped me understand that having wanderlust doesn't necessarily mean that you always have to be traveling- i'm realizing that even at home i'm discovering new things all the time. so for now, i'm sort of in "wanderlust heart" mode- where though i'm not traveling very far, my heart is always discovering something new.
