Daydream Believer

Zoe with her youthful dreams.

Note: Sorry for the cheesy video. I remember
seeing this a couple times as a kid. I think
it has that "groovy" 70's vibe that all the
70's teeny bopper girls can relate to.

And I don't know why I seem to be on an endless
nostalgic trip. Why? Not sure. Maybe childhood
memories, maybe the notion of a simpler place,
and time? Why? Why does one like old film cameras?
Old cars? Why does one like James Dean and Marilyn Monroe?
Yes, I do know yesterday wasn't always as great
as we make it out to be. That's why we have
daydreams :-)

Tech Note: A 'natural' glow effect. No Photoshop needed when you got
a fast lens with scars and scratches!

Canon EOS 30D ,Minolta 58mm f/1.2 Rokkor
1/500s iso1600 full exif

A Girl indeed yet!
The treatment and the looking are well seen.The yellow and green are warm and give a subtil harmony.
