I love this, and I have a question: The fuzziness around the edges? I see this a lot in black and white photos, and I know absolutely nothing about photography. I was wondering if that is something you do in photoshop or if it just happens. Please forgive my ignorance, but I think it is so pretty and I've always been intrigued by it.
I'm glad you like it! in this case, the fuzziness is from the camera I used, which is a holga, a really cheap plastic camera with a plastic lens that gives a lot of fuzziness on the edges. The darkness in the corners is called "vignetting" and also occurs naturally with this camera as well. I'm sure you could fake some of the effects in photoshop, but I'm a big fan of playing around with plastic cameras! It's just a lot of fun because you never really know what you're going to get. Here's a link that explains the Holga camera better than I ever could: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holga
