A couple more shots that I took during our Feruary gallery show at A Space in Commerce...

the dragonfly...

Took this one of a dragonfly on the side of a U-Haul truck. I underexposed it a little, but the image is incredibly sharp. The PX70 Cool Film is still producing amazing images...

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.

happy birthday pyper...

Back in September of 2012 Impossible offered a limited supply of the Pigeonhole Edition of PX 680 color shade film for sale to Impossible Pioneers.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that this was the perfect film to buy for Pyper's 2nd birthday party. THIS FILM WAS MADE FOR A PARTY!

I still had one exposure of Gold Frame PX680 color shade film in my SX-70 camera. Before we left for the party, I solved that problem.

After we arrived at the North Texas Children's Museum (in Commerce, TX) for Pyper's party, I loaded the film and this was the darkslide that pops out.

Lots of kids all around and it was her nap time, so she started out a little shy.

Got a picture of the cake before the action began.

Take 1 - Mom and Pyper blowing out the candles.

Take 2 - Tyler and I both wanted to get a better angle so we re-lit the candles and tried again. (It is a curse being a child of a photographer :))

The Children's Museum had all of these old artifacts that children could play on. This was a keyboard at the mission control station for a space shuttle takeoff. I had to get the Gateway 2000 emblem to add to the authenticity of the photo.

Pyper was tired of having her picture taken so I got one of her mom and dad.

A few days after the party I still had two pictures left so I took Pyper out while her mom went shopping. She was showing off her hair. Her mom tied her hair in the shape of a bow. What a little model she was.

I darkened the exposure a little on this one because the back ground was so reflective.  I should have left it alone. Still a super-cute picture!

Alright Impossible Project, I need some help with topping this next year.  You have a few months to come up with another great idea, but my expectations are high.  :)

Happy Birthday Pyper!!!

in mint condition...

This is my first photo using my new Impossible Mint flash with PX680 film in the SX-70 camera.  As with all Impossible products, it delivers a very unique image.  I am always amazed at how the image looks like it was taken many years ago.  If you think the scanned image looks neat, you should see the original!  I can't seem to stop picking it up to look at it.  I don't know why I like it, but I do...
