Laura Burlton's Dreamy Photos

I was excited to see who won the Holgapalooza Photography Contest this year, and immediately started seeking out the winners' work. The most striking to me was Laura Burlton's Holga photographs of children, mostly photographed in front of fairytale-themed chalk backgrounds. The result is some kind of childhood-fantasy-dreamland with just enough a hint of something-short-of-creepiness. I mean that as a compliment. The photos evoke that unnameable feeling of remembering childhood, where your memories are more like pictures, or fragments of dreams.
