they’re all great and made me smile but 1, 11, and 12 made me so happy and gave me hope that this weekend rocks
anisaroseMarch 16th, 20125:25 PM
eh… i feel like they’re trying too hard
BugMarch 16th, 20126:05 PM
… agreed. Do real people really have this many hipstery friends? Or like… am I just missing out on all these stylish alt parties?
katieMarch 17th, 20122:28 PM
so rude and unnecessary!
Tavi GevinsonMarch 18th, 201211:46 AM
I agree with you, Katie!
puffytoadMarch 18th, 201212:17 PM
Bug and I are missing out on the stylish alt parties lol. :(
SaraleebreadMarch 16th, 20125:32 PM
I really like this! The one with the balloons and the one with the candles are my favorite!
kittenmixMarch 16th, 20127:01 PM
10 is my spirit animal, Soooo pretty.
EmilieMarch 16th, 20127:28 PM
Does Olivia do cool stuff just all the time?
JennMarch 16th, 20129:48 PM
Literally what I was thinking, let’s be jealous together.
MiareleMarch 17th, 20125:06 AM
Exactly. I was thinking something along the lines of “Does she really live a life that’s always this exciting”?
Felicia UbbesenMarch 16th, 20127:29 PM
I love number 11! You can really feel the warm summernight-air through the picture…
SugarMarch 16th, 201211:01 PM
I really do not like this style of photos at all. I’m such a photography snob!!
I like #13 though…
nutellacubeMarch 17th, 20127:05 AM
I don’t know about whether this is “photography” but these photos definitely fit the “exploration” theme to a tee. some of them (in this context) are wicked. good work.
Olivia BeeMarch 17th, 201212:52 PM
how is this not photography? photography can span a million different sub genres…
SugarMarch 17th, 20126:06 PM
I think the fact that it’s more like “snapshots” as opposed to an “artistic photo”, which takes in to consideration lighting, white balance, composition, all that…. what people are used to seeing when thinking about “PHOTOGRAPHY” as an artistic expression..
This is still photography! :D
Tavi GevinsonMarch 18th, 201211:45 AM
By this logic, any candid photographs, lots of music photography, wouldn’t be “photography”…
whodatgalMarch 17th, 20129:02 AM
dis is ohwsum.
rubythroatedladyMarch 17th, 20121:34 PM
Not only is this “real” photography, it is dope! Transported me to the moment. What kind of camera did you use???
Olivia BeeMarch 19th, 20121:23 PM
thanx babe!! i used a canon eos a2 for most of these shots!
marj0May 19th, 20122:21 PM
olivia, do you use something like photoshop to make your photo’s look analog? (i could ask this in dutch, but i guess there are more people who want to know this :)!)
katieMarch 17th, 20122:30 PM
i think your photography is beautiful. it sort of idealizes and makes beautiful every-day activities. gives weight to them, or something. been following your photography on your blogspot pre-rookie! haters gon’ hate, gurl.
GretchynMarch 17th, 20123:31 PM
I love everyone’s expression in number 8. It made me actually smile to myself. Also, 13 looks reall goood. I like your style of photography :)
lmailyMarch 17th, 20123:47 PM
1 and 9!! ♥
BenMarch 17th, 20125:54 PM
I like the pics with the purple hair (I want mine green), balloons and the mushrooms! =) Oh, Also I was thinking you should write about Parry Gripp songs because they are so fun and adventuresome and stuff! They are so catchy, funny and crazy!
sttefaaaMarch 17th, 20128:50 PM
Balloons freak me out.. It`s like a phobia. Good that they`re in a photo, but I could never hold so huge balloons in my hand.

rockslitaMarch 18th, 201211:44 AM

back2thepastMarch 18th, 20122:29 PM
Why all the negative comments? Are they really necessary? I thought these were beautiful and most definitely “photography” Psh haters!
HayleyMarch 18th, 20123:14 PM
Ooh, 13, pretty.
chilljill47March 18th, 20128:34 PM

It makes me really excited when I know some of these people. Are you from Portland?
whodatgalMay 7th, 20127:20 AM
These photos are amazing. They definatley have that retro sort of polaroid-ish feel or something. Did you use any editing platform to make it look like that? How much was your camera? What kind?
marj0May 19th, 20122:18 PM
