Emilie79 + Daydreamers...
After years of obsessively viewing and mentally collecting images, I realized that there is one genre of this art that captivates me like no other. A type of film that appears to captures moments and impressions, instead of a clear or crisp image. Everything becomes soft, and sometimes even glows. Light is captured, as it never has before or since. I am referring to the polaroid. The photographer's equivalent of 8mm film, and just like super-8, a dying art. For polaroid film is no longer being manufactured. I believe that the only way in which polaroid photography can be saved is through the use and appreciation of this art. Despite the increasing difficult in acquiring polaroid film, I hope that polaroid photography will continue to grow.
One of the most amazing photographers that I have come across is Emilie79. I have never seen anything quite like her pieces. There is an intimacy about the photographs, and the words that she adds to them. Light permeates the pieces, everything glows. Take a look for yourself, for the above collage is based upon her photography.
It features Emilie79 Don't you know..., November is Coming, Image of you, Rue Soufflot; ~KIM~ Stamen, the banner from Daydream Lily, and graphics from viking.no (via fffound).
