Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyLove 4, 5, 6, and 8 <3
That last photo reminded me of this book I read on my holiday (yknow, holiday reading and all that..)
Log in to reply'Stikky Night Skies'-sounds weird but trust me, I know loads of stuff about stars now!
summer in a nutshell. beautiful!
Log in to replyAmazing pictures!! So lovely, I can only wish that I could capture photos like yours!
Log in to replyI seriously LOVE THESE! You guys seriously need to do articles on how to take good pictures/which cameras to use etc
I’ve been dying to get into photography but I’m not sure how!

Log in to reply<3
Dangit that starry sky in no.13 oh God this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen *breathless*
Log in to replyI want it transplanted to my brain
These are marvelous!!! What kind of camera do you use? And, how do you take photographs of the night sky? No matter what I do mine never seem to come out right!
Log in to replyi used a polaroid spectra camera and also the canon 5d mark ii for these ones! my night sky picture was taken with a very wide aperture and a long exposure. thanks so much!
Log in to replyThanks for the help! Your photos are always superb!!!
Log in to replyALL SO PERFECT

Log in to replyI have to say, I love all of these. I can’t single any out, otherwise I’d feel bad for the others.
Log in to reply#3, #6, and #11….. BE STILL MY HEART
Log in to replyThese are magical.
Log in to replyI JUST came back from Portland. These are making me miss that place so much more.
Hi, I absolutely love this shoot by the way!
HELP!
Off topic: On my blog I’ve been getting traffic sources from this dodgy porn site and I don’t know why as I have never been on the site before.
Is it just a spam link or something?
And is there a way I can stop the website from accessing my blog? Because my blog doesn’t have anything to do with that sort of thing and I don’t want it to be referenced or linked with it really :S
Thank you so much for any help/advice in advance :)
Log in to replythese are absolutely gorgeous. i’d really like if rookie could do an article teaching rookie readers how to achieve that dream-like quality in photos as seen above. I’d really appreciate it if it was a digital photography tutorial because film photography (to me at least) is much easier. anyone else agree? thank you!!
Log in to replyThese are entirely stunning Olivia! How do you get the almost grainy look in some of these images? (not the polaroids) is it something that you do deliberately or just an effect the camera that you use has on them? Thanks x
Log in to replyhey gracie! that’s my dog’s name! and my middle name! and my sister’s middle name! in photo #8 it is achieved by a high ISO but in the others it is done in post! thanks so much grrl.
Log in to replyOh these pictures are so Moonrise Kingdom-esque… I’m missing summer already!
Log in to reply#5 and #11 are PERFECTION!
Log in to replyGreat photos, very magical.

Log in to replyThese photos are darn awesome, like screenshots from an old trippy summermovie. So dreamy.
Log in to reply4, 6, 8, 9 and 13 – WOW! Brilliant.
Log in to reply#7 & #11 are like beautiful Old Masters’ portraits.
This is a gorgeous shoot.
And I am going to shamelessly use it to promote my blog.

Where you using a film or digital camera for that picture of the stars? How long was the exposure? Just curious.
