disappearing landscape...

Something had to be the first thing that I photographed with my new-to-me 8x10 camera.  This old barn made the cut.

Tyler and I needed a subject with a little more patience than a person to give us plenty of time to step through the process. Our first choice was two grain silos along a tree line right outside of Greenville. Tyler got there first and called me to tell me that the silos were gone. The dirt was still fresh, but they were completely gone! Evidently we just missed the opportunity. :) So we headed on to the second choice...  On our way, we saw this barn and decided it was the winner so we pulled around to start the process. 

All that I can say is that the process is so slow, but so rewarding! When you go through the steps to make this photograph, the connection with the scene/person you are photographing is so real. Knowing this, I have to say that I am looking forward to all the photographic possibilities with my 8x10 camera.

Now on to the image...

white star laundry...

Part of a project where I am taking instant photos of different signs around Greenville, Texas. The colors from the Fuji FP-100C always seem to wow me...

ducati - california

Found this jewel in Redondo beach in California when I was there a couple of weeks ago for an LA Polawalk. Absolutely love the way the Impossible films render the red in the photos. Sure made me want to take a ride...

A Space Photo - Ted and Ann

Was able to take a few pictures during the opening of Tyler's and my Impossible Project gallery show at A Space in Commerce, Texas. What a great opening night! This is definitely one of my favorites taken with Polaroid 664 film. It is a photo of my friends Ted and Ann. More images coming as I get them scanned.

the surfer...

Was out walking on the pier at Hermosa Beach in California on Sunday and I saw this guy standing on the pier about to leave.  He noticed my Polaroid cameras and said something to me. After I got him hooked, I couldn't let the opportunity pass without asking him if I could take his photo. Photos like this are why I like to get out and walk around when I travel...

little miss Pyper...


Really don't like to get stuck posting any one subject or the same film too much, but lately Pyper has been all that I have photographed. Evidently, she is the most willing subject for me. :) 

Happened to have my camera with me after church today. Stepped out of the parking lot and into a cluster of trees to get this quick one of Pyper. Man, the Polaroid 600se lens sure does render a great image & background...

pyper's first 8x10...

a BIG thanks to Justin Goode for helping me and Tyler test out our new processor and in the "process" capture an 8x10 photo of little miss Pyper. In case you didn't know, 8x10 photography is a slow & meticulous process. Yet Justin insisted that we use the opportunity to get a photo of Pyper. Not for sure if he really knew what he was getting into. :) Pyper's focus was all over the place. Makeshift Photography Studio in Deep Ellum has hundreds of items hanging on the wall and on shelves for a child to focus on. Through it all, Justin's patience prevailed and he rewarded us with this wonderful photo...
