I'm totally excited about this spring's 'Roid Week! Today's the first day, and the group pool is already packed with awesome instant photography images! Here are my first two submissions, both shot with my SX-70 and using the gorgeous Time-Zero I received as part of my proposition to my readers!
The Thing of Dreams
This is yet another shot of the red poppy anemones I got awhile back. I couldn't stop photographing this beautiful wildflower bouquet!
There is a signed print of this photo in my etsy shop!
The Redbuds
A beautification group in my town gives away small trees once a year to residents, and a few years ago, I got a dormant redbud tree from them to plant. It looked like a stick, but it's grown into an impressive young tree now! This spring, it was covered in redbuds, too, which was beautiful!
I can't wait to share more Polaroids with you all week long as part of 'Roid Week, and see all the other great photos taken all over the world with instant cameras and film!
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!
I love the beautiful wildflowers of spring, and on Friday, I got myself some poppy anemones from the Texas hill country to enjoy. I decided to take this photo of them, and I hope you like it.
Poppy Anemones (2010)
Camera: Polaroid SX-70

This photo is in the process of fading to black, but I hope to solarize it and share it again later this year!

I cannot believe it's been so long since I wrote anything here! Chalk it up to a crazy, busy summer! My university's spring semester ended in early May, but I only had two days off before I started a crazy three-week "Maymester"--which meant that I taught an entire semester in three weeks! WACKY! In the middle of that, moreoever, I took a 4-day trip to Atlanta where I stayed with my friends Amy and Dan and met their new daughter, Abby! Here's an SX-70 polaroid I shot of them near their lovely home (using Blend film):
The Pasternacks
Isn't she the sweetest little girl? Here's another pic I shot, using my Olympus Evolt DSLR and a little postprocessing in Photoshop!
AbbyBaby
That same weekend in Atlanta, I also attended my dear friend Laura's wedding to her new awesome husband, Ganoby! Here's an SX-70 polaroid diptych I shot of Laura's beautifully-henned hand and foot, using Blend film:
From the Henna Party
After the Maymester ended, I literally had only one day off, and then it was off to Fort Collins, Colorado, where I spent nine days as an Advanced Placement grader for the AP World History exam! EEEKKKKKK!!!!! I met some awesome people, though, got to hang out with Santa Barbara folks (a wonderful surprise!), and really admired these poppies...
And then the crazy part...after being home for only about 36 hours from Colorado, I hopped in my car and drove from Texas to Minnesota! I gave a paper at the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians in Minneapolis, and then traveled up to Duluth (such a cool town!) to see the mighty Lake Superior! The real purpose of this post is to put up a few pinhole Polaroids that I shot while at the Lake, using my Daylab Pinhole camera and expired Polaroid 669 film. I hope you will enjoy!
