Dolly

151/366 Dolly. B&W Wednesday. Dolly is a project on Mobitog.com where participants have purchased a "Schleich Standing Sheep" and they will take postcard photos with Dolly in locations all over the world. Toward the end of 2012, the favorite 100 postcard photos will be compiled into a book. People on Mobitog are very creative, so it will be a fun and interesting project. My Dolly wanted her portrait taken before she traveled to any exotic locations. The result was taken with 645 Pro using the 6x9 back and the F4 film. Antiqued look was created in Awesome Camera using several filters and a frame. The writing was created in Phonto. Check out the "Where are Ewe Dolly?" thread on Mobitog.com

Trois Debutantes

139/366 Trois Debutantes.

So this shot was taken with the 645 back and FC5 film. These lovely orchids were making their debut at the Wyndham Hotel in Tampa.
