"spencer tweedy is a photographical genius" -spencer's suggestion for this title


Rodarte for Target longsleeve (FTC disclosure: I received clothes and compensation from Target for my collaboration with Rodarte for Target.) Vintage leather dress. Thrifted purse.

This amazing photo (Film! Unedited! Like the good ole days when I wasn't alive!) was taken by Spencer when we drove to his cottage with our buddies and his family, only to have very little time at the cottage itself. Too many Culver's stops. And Wal-Mart, where we all took a completely non-awkward family portrait. Golly, we may be just about the handsomest family in all the land. Also at Wal-Mart, Dana and I bought Spencer a hot pink maternity shirt that said "Mama needs a time-out," complete with an illustration of a martini glass. I think he secretly hates it because he still hasn't worn it out, but is afraid to tell me in case it hurts my feelings or insults my maternity wear sensibilities.

Spencer is a photographical genius. This makes me miss film.

And hooray for Culver's. Their frozen custard is the best. I wish we had them where I live.

Spencer does need a time out... the baby is too hard to deal with, Tavi, don't you understand it's too much for him to get dressed?!!?!

Mila said...

Sounds like that maternity top would complement my souvenir t-shirt from Gypsy with "I'm a pretty girl, mama!" written on it. I'm available for photo ops.

The citrus-y yellow of the flower in your hair with the inky blue-black of the dress, the green in the window contrasting (opposite sides of the color wheel!) with that super rad red!
Wow.

My mother become concerned the other day when I entered a Maternity store completely calm. She pulled me aside and asked me if there was anything that I wanted to tell her. I was confused. She pointed out the fact that we were knee deep in belly-land, strollers and large bellies included. I pointed out the long draped tops.

I doubt there's anything wrong with your maternity sensibility, Tavi

I'm convinced that Spencer is a genius. Also, that cottage reminds me of the schoolhouse in the "Are you also wistful?" video.

Beautiful photograph. The 24 hour Wal-mart is where I go when I'm bored. Wal-mart has a lot of strange characteristics, but that's why I love it.

I'm a big fan of Spencer's photography! One day I will try out 'old film' again - but for me it would be the 2nd time round. Nothing wrong with maternity wear, is there?
