three kids, one roll, once a month. in NYC.
by Léa
I shot quite a few rolls of my kids this month and it was hard to choose which one for this project (one kid, one roll, once a month) . Initially I had shot a roll of black and white for the project , but I am not crazy about the photos, so I will share our trip to NYC with the kids' cousins. We took the ferry to go to Staten Island, and then we wandered through the streets of NYC and had a sandwich along the Hudson in Manhattan. It was such a wonderful day.
Please follow the link I am posting at the end of this to go through the blog circle of mamas shooting film and taking photos of their littles and not so littles! All these mamas have been wonderfully supportive and loving as we are all learning and re-learning to shoot film.
I know this is a roll of kids, but I included some on NYC because I am hardly ever in NYC, and I just loved to include the context of these.
This was shot on Portra 400, on my vivitar SLR with my helios 44-2 lens. (processed and developed by the FIND lab)
thank you for looking,

DeleteLea, I just love your style.
ReplyDeletethank you jackie! muah!
DeleteWell. What can I say besides I've been waiting to get around the circle to your post. You know I love it. How you capture connection and emotion and LIGHT. Blur and technique all go out the window when you get all the other stuff so right. I love them all.
ReplyDeletethank you Lauren! My in focus photos went drastically up with my new AF camera, so excited ;-)
DeleteThese are amazing, Lea! I love how you tell the story of your trip and how we can get a glimpse of the personalities and moods of each of your children that day.
ReplyDeletethank you Amy, such sweet words, love you! xxx
DeleteMy comment seems to have vanished... sigh. I am SUCH a fan of your work, Lea! The warmth of the first two just kills me and the one of all the kids together towards the middle... the stuff memories are made of. <3
