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 she were still alive, my grandmother would be 100 years old today. She passed away in 2003, and I'll always miss her. Look at this beautiful photo of her at the age of 16!
Just wanted to share this sweet photo of my sweet grandmother!
Me on my Second Birthday, 30 December 1972
Today is my 39th Birthday! I'd like to thank everyone who has supported my photography-I really appreciate you! I wish all of you an amazing 2010! I hope this upcoming decade will bring peace and prosperity to you!
On my birthday, I'd also like to highlight a few of the charities that I appreciate. If you're able, please consider giving to Heifer International, Kiva.org, or the International Association for Human Values.
Finally, anyone buying something from my Etsy shop today will receive a surprise gift from me! Happy New Year!
