Great pictures. They look like they were taken on a Poloroid.

These pictures are really great: both nostalgic and modern at the same time. I especially love 1 and 13! :)

these are so lovely! they have such a great, real atmosphere of feeling young and free. I love and appreciate suki’s darkroom obsession (maybe it’s because I relate!) and her decision to document her life on film. and it’s so nice to see LA depicted in a photo album!
