saturday night homework...



Sadi stopped in for a surprise visit this past Saturday night. As the night got late, she pulled out the homework and I set up the camera. Love how you can take night time ambient light photos with the 3000B film...

somebody is sad...


but still cute...

sunday afternoon together...


Nothing better than spending time together over coffee on a beautiful fall sunday afternoon...

at the carwash...


Was on my way home tonight and noticed how lonely it looked at the carwash at night. Thought it would be a great photo using my Polaroid 600SE and Fuji FP-3000B film.

whitewashed wood...


Used my Fuji x100s to take the image and printed it to the PX680 film via the InstaLab. Wanted to see how well the whites would show up. Really like the overall look/feel of this image. Another one that goes well with the wood border.

from another time...


Believe it or not, I saw this today on my way back to work at lunch. Was really wishing that I had my SX70 with me, but then I remembered that I have the instalab. Captured this with my iPhone and then printed it tonight after getting home...

a portrait of Matt Ronan...


Had the pleasure of meeting Matt Ronan, in person, today. He came to Greenville to pick up some film that he bought from Tyler. Since he drove over an hour to get here, I felt I should at least ask if he was willing to do an 8x10 portrait before he left. Fortunately, he was up for it. In all practical terms, the day was definitely a bit too warm to be taking portraits outside at 1:30 pm (right at 100 degrees outside), but we found a shade in downtown Greenville and set up the behemoth of a camera and proceeded to take this portrait. Definitely glad we did! 

Another testament to the whole community of instant film. So much interest in giving back to each other and such an emphasis on meeting one another. Just like holding a physical print in your hand, there is nothing like meeting someone in person, getting to talk face-to-face, shake their hand and take an instant photo...

this makes me smile...


Took this one tonight after eating dinner with Pyper. It never gets old taking pictures of Pyper (come to think of it, it never gets old taking pictures period). I was looking through the large quantity of instant images that I haven't even scanned and Pyper was everywhere (in different poses, with different expressions and at different ages). Someday, I will need to do a photo collage with just images of her. I have said it before, but when Pyper grows up she will be one of the few people her age that has almost her entire childhood documented with instant film. Definitely makes me smile... 

me and the M8...


Took this image with my Leica M8 and 50 Summicron using a mirror outdoors. Brought to Impossible film via the Instalab. The light leak across the top is the result of me swapping film and not getting the darkslide all the way back in place. I felt the effect added to the image...

being a little picky...


The original image was with my Leica M8 and 50mm Summicron. Slowly, but surely, I am culling through some of my favorite Leica images and converting them to Impossible film via the Instalab...
