Following an afternoon/evening at Laguna Beach, we ended up going back to Shutter + Light to shoot some studio portraits and talk instant photography. One of the many advantages of Fuji FP-3000B is that you just need a little light to get the photo. The shadows make the photo even better.

It is so rewarding to have friends around the US to be able to visit when you are travelling. Definitely appreciate all of my friends in California. Both instant & film photography have opened so many opportunities for me to meet new friends that I would have otherwise never met...

Pola road trips always seem to open the door to meet new people that share a common interest in instant or analog photography. My initial purpose of meeting up with Todd was to get a tin type portrait made at his store in Santa Ana, California. His tin type skills are phenomenal! It is such a unique process to get to watch. Also, what a super neat store/studio to get to visit. It didn't take long to realize how much I would love to be able to hang out and visit this place more often. Thanks Todd, for letting me take your photo before I jetted for the airport...
