This is the first in a series of a tribute to #Pompeii Dried flowers against a backdrop of photos of paintings and mosaics that have been unearthed at the site. This first one is a black and white with a slight sepia tone. I'm working on others in color. Enjoy.
Image of the day is Spiky, an in-camera double exposure on film.

I feel like sometimes random people just change your life in so many ways, like the girl who gave me a film camera in 2003 when I visited Kolkata, India for the first time. i haven't spoken to her in 20 years, but she gave me the gift of having my memories in still film photographs for the rest of my life
