SX-70 And Window Light

I have long admired the color pallet of SX-70 film and really lamented its loss when Polaroid closed up shop.

Sometimes it is wonderful to know that perfect days do exist. It could be for all sorts of reasons.

Portraits in Copper

I haven't worked with instant film in ages. Well, that is sort of a lie. The more accurate statement would be I haven't worked with integral instant film in ages.

I've said it before on this blog and I'll say it again - I adore Fuji instant film.

Instant Moments

January 31, 2015 in Color Film, Photo Sessions, Instant Film

For many years I've been completely fascinated with Fuji Instant film, particularly the FP-100c variety. Even back in the day when Polaroid was still going strong, I always liked the Fuji stock better.

Scanned a ton of film today. One of these days I'll get caught up on editing. Like everything else in my creative life, I'm super behind and have a mountain of work to catch up on. Alas... such is the way of things. In the meantime, I can at least sh

One of the few images I did in Chicago this past spring that didn't have a light leak.

I like all the puddles of early spring. Something lovely about sunlight reflected in pools of water all over the city.

I'm hoping to get a lot of film developing done this weekend. I've been slacking lately. Sometimes you've gotta choose just being lazy on the couch over being creative when you've got time to yourself. Such is the way of things.

I'd rather be going on an adventure right now over going to work. Alas, Monday has other plans for me right now. One can still dream though. Grand vistas are only a few minutes away and for that I'm incredibly grateful.

I had terrible and incredibly harsh light going on when I took this image. Sometimes you just have to not care and click the shutter on the camera anyway. Is it great? Nope. But it was a beautiful spot and I'm glad I made the exposure.

Today is going to be a loooooong day. It only took about five minutes after I woke up to almost fall for an April Fool's joke. Almost...

Made some great work on Saturday morning and then spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and being chill at home. Sometimes Monday comes much too quickly.

Infrared film is one of the toughest mediums I can think of. It takes a lot of guess work with pretty much no guarantee of success sometimes. But when it works, it really works.

Aiming straight down with a Hasselblad is not the easiest way to compose a photograph.

Just finished traveling from much flatter places on this planet. Really makes me appreciate what I have access to right in my own backyard.

Just walking through the neighborhood and appreciating the little things. I try to go on a walk every single day with a camera. It has resulted in a lot of photographs that have very little point other than the fact that I like them.

A blistering hot day immortalized on film. That is the kind of thing photography is for.

Sunny days just outside of Portland. I'm about to jump on my back and head to work in the rain so you can imagine I'm thinking about days like this rather fondly at the moment.
