Brazil. Mint chocolate chip ice cream and bacon burgers. Short skirts, bug spray and after sun. The dirty version of Slow Motion. Poison. Vodka and coke, massages and six mattresses. Painkillers. Coffee-smelling tanning oil. White latex paint. White acryllic paint. Sticky grey paint. Scrapers. Varnish and repeat. iPod. Shirtlessness. Iffy ladders. ( Read more... )

aw i love the way you put a lot of pride in your photos. or so it seems.
question. how did you get the colours in photo #11?

kinkstarr April 25 2006, 20:17:54 UTC

I like these shots, you know? In a way I am pretty proud of them because I think they did justice to the place, and I guess it's a good thing that it's reflected in the way I present them then. So thanks.

I upped the green on it, that's all.

love the photos and even simply just the sheer structure of them - i.e. use of rounded edges. am looking forward to the next one! :)

kinkstarr April 25 2006, 20:18:36 UTC

I think rounded edges like the way they used to print photos on film give photos an extra touch, somewhat like the way polaroids do ... it's a little more nostalgic, I guess?

falterd April 26 2006, 15:23:32 UTC

Yup. It reminds me of the old photos like during my parents' time or something. :)

kinkstarr April 26 2006, 15:55:40 UTC

I have photos from when I was little, and they all had rounded edges too :)

As always, I love you and your pictures and everything. I especially love the reflected sunglasses and the rainbow and well everything. What's your Nikon?

kinkstarr April 25 2006, 20:01:26 UTC

Aww thank you.
& The reflected sunglasses picture is my favourite :)

My Nikon = Nikon Coolpix 5700.

It's been a very long time since I came by your journal.

But gorgeous pictures as always. I especially like the one with the doll on fire. Very morbid cute-sy.

Beaches + Friends = Always lovely.

Thank you.
I like that one a lot too ... a few people have said that it's sadistic, and while that's true, I just like the irony of it all. Eh. I'm a strange girl.

So true. I miss that about Singapore.
