Life in the Boonies

This photo was also made on the infamous family camping trip. This is another nephew of mine, Holt. He has Indian War Paint on his face. We found some on the hiking trail and let all the boys put some on. I had never seen or heard of this stuff before but if I were a kid I'd probably have put it all over me. That stuff's COOL! We found it on the back side of a cactus. It was white but when you rub it on, it turns red. I have tried for a few minutes to find it online but haven't been able to.

I used a Holga effect on this picture and left just a little tint. I forgot to put KSpitzer Photography on it.....oh well. I tell you, I'm a beginner! Just learning....wet behind the ears.

I took this photo a couple of years ago of my nephew Ethan. We were on a camping trip and the "big" boys had run off and left him. He would wail, stop and peak up to see if anyone was looking and just let 'er rip some more!

I thought this made a great black and white with the vignette effect around the edges. It sort of gives it that retro feel.
