It’s an undeniable fact that we’re lovers of analog photography. I don’t want to get all high and mighty about it, but there’s something about the grain, the imperfections and unforgivefullness of film that intrigues us. Spanish photographer Evita Weed (Eva González López) brings us just that: Perfect, imperfect mistery, presumably photographed in the Spanish Landscape.
