HOLGA for heather+neil
19 April 10 / wedding
My sister and Neil were married last month near the bay area in California.
It was an elopement with just a few of us from the family along for the adventure.
We all went to Disneyland afterwards! These photos are all from a Holga.

Lauren - FANTASTICO!April 8, 2010 - 12:00 pm
jgalan - Great pictures Benjamin. The lighting on the pictures by the window gives the pictures such a dynamic contrast, bright colors on the left, dark colors on the right side of the image. Good job in closing the blinds behind them, the blue tone adds nicely to the darker side of the picture. I really like picture "033_benblood_1441" Nothing is in focus but you clearly know what's going on in the image. I do think that Andree should be more in the picture or completely out, it would make the image much stronger. Another pictures I enjoy is the one of the overpasses, reminds me of big check mark, very nice composition Ben.. very nice.April 8, 2010 - 2:06 pm
ben blood - jgalan, you're the man. see you saturday.April 8, 2010 - 2:10 pm
