This Spring's 'Roid Week is already blowing me away! There are so many great photos in the Flickr pool, I'm in awe of all of the amazing photographers shooting instant film! Here are my two submissions from today! They were both taken using my beloved Holgaroid and expired Type 89 film.
Jack Starr Cut Rate Liquors
Anyone who looks at my photographs regularly knows that I love to shoot signs. Some people have told me it's cliché, but I think it's important to record these crazy expressions of consumer culture. It is the historian in me, no doubt, that salivates at the sight of a particularly awesome mid-century sign still hawking its wares. This one is in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, a city that has a great selection of vintage signs!
Clown Burgers (a Holgaroid Version)
I took several pics of this sign in Haltom City, Texas, because it's just too cool not to. This is my favorite of the Holgaroid pics I shot. There were some that had more of the sign, but I really liked the angle and faded colors of this one. You can see my Time-zero version here.
Still three more days of 'Roid Week, so if you've got some instant film, shoot it and join the fun!
If you read my blog regularly, you know that I sent out a call for people to send me packs of Time-Zero film to shoot, in exchange for the originals! Well, here's the second installment of my presentation of some of the photos I've taken from the first pack I received. You can see the first installment here. I hope you enjoy them!
Red and Purple Anemones in a Jar
I love these beautiful flowers; they became the subject for many photos, including one of my favorites that I've ever taken, which you can see here.
Clown Hamburgers
I love this sign, which I found in Haltom City, Texas! I hear the burgers there are awesome, but they were closed when I visited. I'll have to go back!
I'll be sharing more photos from this awesome pack of film very soon! Thank you so much to Jeff for this special chance to shoot my favorite film again!
Prints of these photos are in my Etsy shop!
