golden christmas tree...

Wanted to find a way to get a unique picture of this small golden christmas tree that Sherri had used for decorations in our house. So I set it in the middle of the road and layed down flat to take this instant picture. Hoped that the depth of field would set it apart from the background. Seemed to work really well...

By the way, this is another great example of how well the Impossible Project Color Protection film works...

the rooster...

Saw this rooster outside a gas station on our way to Childress for Thanksgiving. Colors were almost completely washed out on the building and rooster so black and white seems to fit...

broken trees...

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 creepy but welcoming smile in Coney Island, NY...

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).
