It feels like the end of summer and I don't know why I am so wistful, most of my moments have been under fluorescent lights indoors, not very nostalgia producing. The off day that I could go out and play it felt like summer in spades though. This is from a trip to the Santa Monica pier, made specifically to capture this shot. I unfortunately will never know how I created this image in post production because I have tried and tried and no dice (it took a long time, I know that much). It's how I wish all my images were--light, airy, dreamy. I find that so many of my captures feel somber and I am so not somber. I used a special lens called a Lens Baby, they offer instant dreamy effects to your photo's by selective focus. If you are in a photo rut a Lens Baby should pull you right out, you don't even have to know what the heck you're doing (trust me I don't), just find something you like, focus and shoot...
