Heart Hands and Peach

Heart Hands and Peach, originally uploaded by Pandora’s Box on flickr. I’ve recently started shooting with my Dad’s Olympus OM-1 that he bought back in the 70s. This is the first photo that I’m really happy with. Now, I did do some color correction in Photo Shop as I made the mistake of taking this [...]
