my studio is ruling my life, right now. i haven't felt this inspired in a very very long time.... just thought you would like to know. :]

my mom asked me to photograph these houses for  her... something i very rarely do, taking photos without people and i think i like it! :]

ohhh... and will just got me this rad little fisheye camera from urban outfitters! i can't wait to develop my first roll... it's literally been a few years since i used film at all... FUN!

back the the studio..... :] have a great friday! Elsie

ode to andy warhol....

I thought it would be fun to do a little *eye candy* post today in honor of the fabulous andy warhol, the beautiful Edie Sedgwick and the super*lovely film factory girl ... i have always had a crush on andy warhol's work. artists who are so unique that you tend to either LOVE their work or HATE it captivate me... enjoy the eye candy!

happy wednesday!
love, elsie
