Half and half

Half Northern California and half northern Illinois, that is. From the roll of film I got developed today (just used a plastic no-settings camera that I found in a bag of childhood things :).























Until my first fall in Illinois, I'd never seen these enormous brown paper bags that people use for leaves and stuff. I know they must be ordinary, but they're still novel to me.

  4. I love pillars and brick wall. Crumbly masonry + faux ancient architecture = brilliance.

  7. pinkapplecore - Yes, the way the light leaked on that photo made me so pleased!

    The Pieces - Yeahh leaky cameras ftw. Did you? Excellent. You're quite welcome.

    CC - Why do birds die like that? I see them...well, not all over, but more often than I see any other dead animals.

    Shannon - Fanks :) The pillars are at a museum, which I figure can get away with the faux ancient thing.

    Shokoofeh - Thank you. :) Must be a Midwestern USian thing?

    Milli - Aw, I'm sorry, chicky. If it makes you feel better it freaked my friends out too. We were on the property of a religious cult and they were a smidgen on edge! Hehe.

    geekspawn - THERE's my creepy friend! <3
