i heard it was a real good time

there's something about overexposing film in the summer that just feels right. not sure why exactly. it just seems to me that summers should be washed out. whatever it is, it's only amplified when you set a polaroid frame around it. i took these shots of the always-surreal oregon coast last weekend while my mom was in town. they were taken on 600 film with my sx-70. to me, they look like summer.

the beach houses the face the ocean.


my mom.

meanwhile, some friends of mine have written a song that has worked its way into my head and now sounds a lot like these pictures look. if that makes sense.


a real good time - basement babies

we had a real good time. we had fun.
