Those are cool. They look like they're taken with one of those old "children's" cameras, so I looked up "Lomo" and "Holga" (I know zippity about cameras and photography). Fun to find out that's exactly the look that's wanted.

I like the luminosity that comes from (I assume) deliberate over-exposure, and the super-saturated colours also remind me of the pics an old friend used to take with her dying Poloroid camera.

Thanks.. you made me explore the world wide wonder to satisfy my curiousity; I learned something.

no, thank you. it's not exactly about deliberate overexposures, it's more about light leaks -- Holgas are made pretty badly -- and fixed exposure/aperture (basically the only thing you can change is, obviously, the film's ISO speed). so exposure's always bad -- it's liberating in a way.
