Beach time: Lola's documentation

These are some of my favorite shots I got while I was in St. Petersburg, Fl this summer for vacation.

Check out my article on Hobnob St. Pete about trip.

The Pier

Outside this restaurant, called Mazzaro's Italian Market, there was item upon item of decoration littered in the parking lot and surrounding grass lots. There was a bench made of anchors and chains, little clown sized cars, and several other elaborate pieces. I wanted to snap shots with Lola on everything I saw, but the cars sitting in the parking lot got in my way. Inside the actual market, past the shelves of chocolates, racks of wines, and mountains of meat, stood an extensive stretch of glass. Inside this glass case were miniature apple pies, thumbprint cookies, tiramisu, cakes, and cannolis. The spread was beautiful, as well as mouthwatering. 

 Who would expect to see a lovely elderly woman sitting on a completely out of place bench on Treasure Island Beach? I was so happy that she was perched there, for I love this picture.

In this post, I have used only lomography film. Obviously black and white and color. The color is 100 ISO and 200 ISO. The black and white film is 100 ISO.

Prom do 3, Miss McKenzie

on McKenzie!

The style McKenzie wanted was inspired by the above photos. 

She was hoping for a touch of a 40's vibe.

One thing I particularly love about this do is that not only is it elegant, but it requires no hair piece, no headband, no ribbon. It can stand alone.

HOW TO: You start by twisting back your bangs and adding sections at a time so that even short layers will stay in. 

Next, do the same thing with the other side.

Keep your twists tight so they don't unravel.

Cross either the right twist or the left over the other and loop the twists into their own individual loose buns.

Pin any unwanted flyaways into the body of the bun.

Finish with spray!

Tip 1: If your final product comes out too tight, simply take two hands and gently pull the twist of the bun away from each other.

Tip 2: I curled McKenzie's hair before I began the twists. This helps the hair hold the twisted shape and the heat gives it texture to stay in place.

And enjoy your special night!
