Meet Lea!

A week ago or so, Ams and I went to have supper at our friends place. I really wanted to test the Tmax 400 in the Contax 645... so I jumped in the car and got a couple of rolls + some color film. Being the dumbass that I am, I loaded some ISO 100 film thinking it was 400. Of course I only realized this when bringing back the film to the lab. So they pushed it to 400 and this is the result. I actually think it gave it a more dramatic look.




Was never really comfortable with kids... not that I don't like them, its just that I never had the chance to be around any. Lea though went straight to my heart. I know I want to have kids and hopefully one day we will, knowing how I feel about Lea... and she's not even mine.... I'm in big trouble :)





For sure I can see her becoming a tough cookie... but with a soft heart.


Le papa

La maman

To see the world through children's eyes... I mean we should be learning from them at least as much as they are from us.


And not take things so seriously :)


Sometimes all you need is a little balloon to make things better.

Thank you so much bud! I'm touched you feel that way, sure I like taking pictures for myself but I think that somewhere inside of me I wish they please other people from time to come... and maybe understand who I am a little better :)
