devin elida's photostream

If you are reading this, and I don't know who ever would, but this flickr will now be abandoned forever. I post some of my work/inspiration/thoughts on my tumblr every day which is located here: devinelida.tumblr.com
follow me there!
I don't want to delete this stream completely, so it shall just stay like this until I do want to delete everything.
It's been fun here on flickr and thank you for viewing this stream xo

so this is the first print in a series i am doing about the degradation of romantic love that occurs over the span of any relationship. roses typically symbolize love and passion, so they serve as a metaphor in this project.
most of the themes i explore in my work are pretty cynical, i won't lie, but this one is directly influenced by personal tragedies i have had to deal with this past year. the roses eventually deplete to being a single rose, broken and ripped apart (symbolizing the lingering responsibilities or feelings)
hopefully i'll take a shot of all of the prints in their full display

here is one of many many many many prints i have done in the darkroom as of late. i have taken about 11 rolls of film this semester but have had no time to scan anything, but i promise there is TONS.

this is me.
my friend julia pressed the button for this photo y'all. she was my tripod.

this is a test strip from the darkroom for my portraits project. i still need to print 5 more by friday ugh
