blurred abstract...

Decided to try a more abstract photo on the Polaroid Fade-To-Black film. The photo is intentionally blurred to make it more interesting. This film is so fun to work with! I peeled it within the first minute of developing. I had a little trouble with the peeling and scratched it up a bit, but it adds character to this type of photo..

fade-to-black success...

Still working through my 10 shots of Polaroid Fade-To-Black film that was given to me. There have been some duds in the pack, but this one turned out fantastic! I love the tones of this film! It is expired film at it's best. Pyper was in awe of the transparency of her after I peeled the film. The original is screaming to be framed...

searching...

I seem to be constantly searching for the time and passion to capture photos that I will cling to as the years pass. This is one of those photos...

nothing but smiles...

gotta love it when you get to capture people when they are happy. two precious girls with beautiful smiles. it makes me smile to hold these photos in my hand...

the style makes a difference...

These three photos were taken over the past couple of weeks. It doesn't even look like the same little girl in each of these photos. Three styles of film capturing three styles of Pyper...

pre-dinner photo...

Love it when I get the opportunity to take a photo of Sherri before we head out for a dinner/date night...

don't move...

Took this one of Pyper with my Toyo 4x5 camera and a Fujinon 210mm lens using a Polaroid back with Fuji FP-100C film. The depth of field with shallow and the focus was on her one eye. To be honest, I can't believe that she stayed still long enough for this one to be taken. Such a neat thing to be able to spend time with her taking pictures...

headlights and horses

Two contrasting images, yet they belong together. Hopefully it is obvious why...

The first is color 600 film taken in Bodie, CA and the second is black and white SX70 film taken in Greenville, TX. There was no pre-planned agenda to purposefully take the photos, yet the accidental placement of these two images together seems so perfect...

one of many...

Not for sure if there are may occasions when Pyper comes over and I don't take at least one instant photo of her. This was taken over the weekend when she spent the night with us. The SLR680 is becoming my instant film camera of choice for photographing a child that is always on the move. So glad I kept this camera, instead of selling it after I bought the Mint SLR670m.
