Spring, I Love You
by Amanda on March 5, 2010
So it doesn’t feel like Spring to my Australian bones yet, but it sure is starting to look like it, baby.
My love of cherry blossoms is for 2 reasons:
1. They only share themselves with the world for a teeny amount of time and that makes them so special.
2. They look beautiful from afar but they look just as beautiful up close.
I don’t often love my photographs but I really like this one and I do because the background looks like a painting. Look at those lines and stripes. Do you see them? I didn’t try to make that happen. It just did. Polaroid is magical like that.
Have a Spring-like weekend, unless of course your Autumn has begun and you are rummaging through the cupboards for your cardis and socks!

this is so, so lovely.
Thanks, love.
such a gorgeous picture. I cant wait for spring either! it’s been so sunny in london those past few days. yay to sun and blossoms. x
I am head over heels with your photography, and oh-so-happy to have found you. You are extraordinary.
Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! I too love the way the background is out of focus in an almost kaleidoscopic way.
Cherry Blossoms have a special place in my heart too. I love them for their fragile strength and brief existence.
Have a lovely spring weekend! It’s supposed to be sunny on Saturday. :)
Fanny, yes hurrah for sunshine!
Bea, you’re making me blush. Thank you. :)
Ashley, it is kinda kaleidoscopic. Good description!
the background is amazing! i’ve never seen a polaroid go quite like that!
This feels really good, because we’re still freezing in Paris today …
this is heavenly!

I really love this too. Great background!
I only have one pack of polaroid film left though. I meant to stock up from polapremium, but then they’re empty. Anyone know where I can get my hands on some?
These are such pretty pictures! I love cherry blossoms and I am hoping that when I go to Japan next month that they will still be blooming there.
Absolutely beautiful. I’m shocked that you don’t love all of your pictures, because I adore every photo that you post. Of course, we are always our own harshest critics, I suppose! Thank you for sharing your work – it’s gorgeous.
Mausumi, I only have one other pack left too. Polapremium were sold out the moment they seemed to go on sale. It’s a good sign though, at least it means the film is in high demand and the imposs. proj. will be needed.
Amanda, I am so jealous! Japan in sakura time is number 2 on my travel list. Have a great time.
Alli, thanks so much. That means a lot.
Thanks all. :)
Ah, the magic of Polaroid, one would be crazy not to love it:)
There is a Japanese hotel nearby and I walk by it every day on my way to uni. They have Japanese morello trees on the front that bloom just heavenly! I am counting the days until I get to shoot them, isn’t it crazy? :)
I don’t think it’s happening any soon though – we just got snow yesterday! :(
Oh I love this photo so much! The texture is amazing :)

amanda can i ask you where you get your film developed? i’ve just shot my first two rolls of film ever & am super excited to get them developed. any good tips on what to look for when looking for a lab? i’ve read that fuji frontier scanners are basically the gold standard – so that’s one thing i’ll be looking for…thanks for any tips/advice!
Thanks Iva and Giovanna.
Kay, I sent you an email. :)
I really really love this photograph too. I have revisited it several times.
This really is such a beautiful photo. Have a wonderful time.
