holding the roses




"almost all words do have colour, and nothing is more pleasant than to utter a pink word
and see someone's eyes light up and know it is a pink word for him or her too."
- gladys taber

my fascination with colour has not diminished, but my fascination with film has flourished, and i find that my older cameras tend to render what i see in a subtle and subdued - but infinitely true and beautiful - palette.
i do wonder, though, if my using long-expired film could have anything to do with it?
i am a late and plodding learner, but i am a learner nonetheless.

  1. I am a long-time reader/lurker who checks every day to see if you have graced us with another utterly inspired picture accompanied by that perfectly spare accompanying text. Your astute observations poignantly touch my days.
