    These are all so fantastic! I love how textured and real, yet also like a fantasy they feel.

    So are you going to exhibit these in a space somewhere? In Kosovo? Let me know if I can help - I'd love people to see them

    thanks so much, everyone! thank you!

    miss jenny frecklewonder-- indeed, that is the polaroid camera you gifted me. who'd a thunk it would travel all the way across the ocean to gjilan, kosovo? who'd a thunk it? :)

    elizabeth-- these polaroids are part of a show currently running at my church here in portland, then they'll show at a gallery in vancouver. but I'd love to show them over in kosovo! would love any suggestions or help with that!
