It’s fairly rare that I do this, but I came across H_alive‘s photostream on Flickr and could not resist sharing it. The slight noise in these film photographs lends beautifully to the masterfully-captured nostalgia and sensuality. With so many details – little dolls leaning against a mirror, berry smudges on a woman’s thighs, a stuffed animal in a girl’s hand – these images demand repeated viewing and reward the viewer for close scrutiny.

Please do not share these on other sites such as Tumblr or Weheartit without adequately crediting the original photographer at http://www.flickr.com/photos/alive_h/.

I also cannot describe the elation I felt when I went to add h_alive as a contact and discovered that he had already added me as one!
