365, week 30
204 of 365: With eyes this pretty, who needs the rest of the face? I cropped this intentionally to highlight the highlights, of her hair, that is.

205 of 365: Cute little monkey!

206 of 365: Something dark and moody to break up the monotony of all those child photos I so dearly love:

207 of 365: I totally dig the way mama and son are looking at each other, but that extra head blob from the errant child between them draws my eye way too much. Still, I'm keeping it for the 365 because of the aforementioned mama-son gaze. Plus, I find it odd that all these digital advancements are made to cameras and I spend all my time vintage-izing the result with fake noise and faded color.

208 of 365: My rampant vintage-ing strikes again! I love his cowlick and the way he's sucking in his cheeks in total concentration.

209 of 365: Booooooring!

210 of 365: I wonder if having babies BEHIND their mamas looks odd to non-babywearers.

Vintagizing (or is that like
Vintagizing (or is that like "distressing"?) photos takes a lot of talent and skill--I see "old" photos in movies all the time and it looks like bad Photoshop! Seriously, in this day and age (I'm thinking), the director couldn't find somebody to make a black and white photo look aged?
So I appreciate the retro feel of these photos!

I like adding (faux) history
I like adding (faux) history to a photo, as if to say that it has withstood the test of time and is still evocative/relevant.
