postcards

Film. Kodak Ektar 100.

I should have mentioned this sooner… But one thing leads to another, and it slipped my mind.

It’s been in the works for over a year now.  And a few of you have already noticed – 5 of my images were selected by Ikea for a postcard set.  Included in the set are: collect your thoughts, keep looking, music, the journey, and urban vintage.  Each of these images bring back such sweet memories for me.  They were all taken in 2009, and in many ways – my photography and style have changed.

I received these in the mail from my publisher, but I have yet to actually see them in the store.  A few more trips to Ikea are in my near future!

And yes, this these images are from the same roll of film as this.

Finally, I participated in Lindsay’s Photography Month series by sharing a few film photography tips. Thanks, Lindsay!
