Julie Skidmore, Assateague Island, 2003
We opened 2012 at Studio 5013 with a travel photo diary, and we’re closing with one by Pittsburgh City Paper production director, Julie Skidmore. This is what happens when you go on vacation and keep rolls of film for years before developing it: eerily beautiful time capsules unearthed from last summer or decades ago. Unblurred Gallery Crawl, December 7 through 31.

These look great in the window. They should inspire us to get all those 120 rolls of yours developed!

Comment by motherblue212 December 6, 2012 @ 11:59 PMI fell in love with them when I first saw them too. They have such a strong narrative thread tying them together and a nostalgic, 70s feel. I imagine them working in book form.
