One of the unique photos from my last visit to Venice Beach in California...
globehopper...
A mural outside the Globehopper coffee shop in downtown Richmond, Va.
Took the images using Impossible PX100 Cool film in a folding SX-70 and Polaroid 690 film in a 100 Packfilm camera.
massage...
Saw this sign on our way home from eating after church. Up for a massage? You make the call...
starbucks in the afternoon...
What a busy Saturday it was. Took a break in the afternoon to stop by Starbucks and grab some coffee and a picture...
a view from Central Park...
A view from Central Park in NYC on my trip at the beginning of October. A rainy/dreary day that looks great on this film...
a night with Pyper...
Pyper stayed with us last night. Always a fun time! She is constantly doing something entertaining. You just have to be quick with the camera to catch the moment. She put on the glasses and was walking around laughing (and going "round and round"). The light leak is because I moved the film from one camera to another and didn't get the dark slide in all the way. I used the Spectra closeup lens to get a head shot.
As you can tell, by the time I took the second one she was getting "sweepy"...
feasting...
Started a little early this year. We had our thanksgiving lunch at work today. A few of us got together and cooked the turkeys in my garage this morning. Wow that turkey was good!
a different kind of halloween...
The pictures below are from the 80's themed halloween/birthday party that Sherri and I went to on the weekend before halloween. I left all of my digital cameras at home. I took three different Polaroid cameras (SX-70, 250 Packfilm, Spectra AF). Better than any costume that I could have worn. FYI, the glasses that I was wearing were actually mine from 1988.
The cameras were a hit! Always fun to see everyone amazed at such old technology...
After the party was over and the scanning was done, I gave all of the photos to Kathleen (the birthday girl).

chicken fingers...
Stopped by Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers on my way home from DFW airport yesterday. Great food! This sign was screaming for an Impossible image...

Still loving this film. The green tones and red developer around the border just make the photo. Unfortunately this one had a small undeveloped patch. This is still from the IDUV pack that came with a Polaroid 100 packfilm camera that I bought a few weeks ago. Film that comes with old cameras never works!!! I feel very lucky on this pack...
green with envy...
Took this photo tonight inside our house with the Polaroid 100 packfilm camera and the Polaroid flash.
This film produces amazing colors. Not necessarily true to life, but amazing none the less...
polaroid pictures of pyper...
a tongue twister of sorts...
Two terrific meals at the Tyndells today and a pair of Polaroid pictures of Pyper posing. What a great day...

Photos from this weekend...
This is why I buy Impossible film! Not because it is some perfect film that always works as I want it to. I buy it because it produces one of a kind pictures that are totally unpredictable, somewhat artistic and cannot be replicated in the same way with digital.
As I hold these Impossible images in my hand, I love how they both have stories that run deep through the layers of the photo. Such a personal experience to be able to pull these photos out and hold them while viewing...
just one more...
I have so many pictures to scan, but it is so fun to go out looking for just one more to take. I drove around downtown Greenville today and saw another large wine barrel/vat sitting our behind the winery. The sun was shining directly in my face while taking the picture. I had to put my hand over the light sensor of the camera so that it would expose correctly in the shadows. Because of this, the shutter was actually very slow and the image lost some sharpness...
NYC 2012 - Black Frame Posts...
Here were a couple that I took with my Polaroid Sprectra camera during my most recent trip to NYC.
flatiron building...
central park skyline (rainy day)...
Texan Theater at Night...
Night photography (as inspired by Toby Hancock)...
What a difference in film. The first is expired Polaroid 690 film (reddish/hazy finish), the second is Fuji FP-100C film (sharp and vibrant colors). Both have a unique signature that makes each special.
Finally had another night where they lit the lights on the Texan Theater in Greenville. Made a special trip back home to grab some Polaroid cameras and get back downtown. Here are the first two images from tonight. All images were taken with the camera on a tripod. I have some other images that are still processing. Will try and post them soon.
NYC Polawalk Group
What a neat opportunity this was! Was able to meet a few of my Impossible Idols. My pictures from the day weren't the greatest, but the conversations were priceless...
my friend Benjamin...
A friend of ours recently received some money from her parents that was buried. Yes, I said buried. Long, amazing story of how it was eventually located, dug up and stored. Sadly (especially for her), quite a bit of the money deteriorated to the point of being like dust. Evidently the moisture, from being buried, affected it. Below is a portion of the money that survived. And before you ask or comment, none of the money is mine. :) I just got to take a an instant picture. Besides, I don't see $100 bills, I see 4 (maybe even 5) packs of Impossible film in every Benjamin Franklin.
