Inspired: Dianna Argon

I tend to hate things that generate a certain level of obsession  like Team Edward/Team Jacob and the entire werewolf vampire phenomenon.  Do I like Twilight? Duh, guilty pleasure.  Do I hate people who automatically fawn over anything involving a werewolf? Yes.  They ruin it for everyone else.  I felt the same way towards Glee for a long time, but its impossible to ignore for very long. The cast alone is pretty stunning.  The images above are from a Nylon interview with Dianna Agron.  The Princess Dianna angle is endearing, which can be seen from the images (they speak for themselves).  The thing is Dianna is stunning.  Yes, she pulls off retro clothes, but its more than that.  Check out her tumblr to see what I mean.  I'll be floored if you do not pick up on elements of whimsy, kindness or playfulness that all come off entirely heartfelt. <3 This post is not just about a recent inspiration, but me sharing someone with you who I feel is truly inspired.  Click on this post for more!

Miu Miu Fall Winter 2011

Highly recommend looking at Miu Miu's campaign. I cannot believe I have not seen it! The images are stunning, and the video components make you feel like you are watching a film. No, not a modern fashion documentary but a classic.  Hailee Steinfeld's youth is not corrupted like that of most young models portraying something much older than themselves.  Her beauty is appreciated and her youth embraced. I completely adore the campaign.  As for the clothes themselves, I enjoy the color choices, and color blocking without intrusive patterns.  The glitter, and sequin details of the clothes do not feel over done but the perfect accents.  As if any girl could turn down those glitter covered heels!

Francisco Lachowski

  Male fashion has been huge for me lately, but these pics are more than just fashion pieces... they are a tiny peek at Francisco Lachowski. Doesn't his name even sound intriguing? Check out the brazilian fashion model on his twitter.

Chicago International Film Festival

This film completely satisfied my urge for something to interest my psychological curiosity, as well as the edginess of an international film. I saw it at the Chicago International Film Festival, so as you can see I am very behind in my posts.  Supposedly being released in December to the states! :)

Only For A Moment...

Film is a process.  Digital is incredibly instanteous.  In the latter there is no room to appreciate error.  Film on the other hand is all about the imperfection, the moment captured and not the forced smile.  When I use film cameras I never know what to expect and I adore it.  I  am the person scared to make any mistakes ever, so this is my way of pushing myself.  I fret over whether any will be in focus but I never try to remember what I photographed.  My photographs are always random and mismatched to surprise me everytime.  Sometimes I just need to let go and let life lead me.  Photography is one of those outlets.

My latest purchase is a diana mini plus flash (wonderland edition) and I constantly am wondering whether I actually took the picture, if I tore the film, or what will be in focus!  I know the final surprise in what I actually end up developing will be completely worth it.  I just wish I knew that I wasn't breaking anything in the process.  The cameras are all plastic, and the film has to be advanced by hand- needless to say its alittle worrisome for me.  To break in my first roll of film in the camera I went to The Art Institute of Chicago today, so hopefully those turn out ok!

Above are pictures taken on my film cannon slr at the end of the summer in Chicago.
